If you mean me (may be the OP) I'm not strongly bearish...mildly so for the reasons stated in Barrons but for a put calendar neutral will still work. My time frame is a couple of months...partly seasonal.
by the way where's that massive cretin of commissario[?] hey coglione, look at the chart and eat shit.
That was pretty ballsy if you really did short a week ahead of earnings. If you want to short ahead of earnings, maybe its better to check how the stock performed after its last earnings report or two. If it tanked last time, and has rebounded, then that is probably a better stock to take a shot at. Just my opinion. I mostly day trade and my overnight holds are usually hedged. Did you really short, or were you just testing the water with your original post? None of our business really, just curious.
