  2. The more you keep talking about your Lamborghini, the more I'm inclined to believe it's an alleged Lamborghini.

    Yes, but that's just "calculated risk" :)
    When you apply diversification, then such a loss doesn't make up much, and doesn't hurt much :)

  4. Had he closed sooner if and when he saw the writing on the wall, his loss would have been smaller.

    You weren't going to roll it over if you were still down over $1000

    Nope, must have been a typo of him, b/c in the very next paragraph he writes "when I sold the puts". So, I'm sure he means ShortSelling.
