Author is holding bearish put options on Intel into earnings, citing a 4,000 P/E as unsustainable.

INTC — SHORT The author holds put options on Intel (INTC); these are directional bearish options whose returns would track Intel's share price inversely, not option premium. The author's rationale is that the 4,000 P/E appears excessive and likely to compress, and the position is held through earnings as the catalyst. The author notes the position is currently losing after Intel rose 5%.

Started buying puts last week and am currently getting my ass kicked. 4,000 p/e seemed like a good play on paper.
