I found a stock I would love to buy puts on, except they have no options. I refuse to sell shares outright, against my trading religion. Does anyone offer a "custom" option? Is it even legal?

The only position I do want to bring forward was...
I am going to start keeping a journal of my trades, more for fun and someting to track for me than anything else. I will lay it all out here for you to observe, bash, trash and watch me make cash (I hope).
I am up a little over 100% this year so far and will not count what I have done before...
PPI and CPI will be more important for the next 2 days IMO, as it will dictate the FEDs ability to cut further. How they are going to hide the $10 run in crude during Oct I am not sure but the expects are a little tame.

We will raid stock turders index again soon!! :D
not so sure even your man can get through this shit-

A bounce in the financials will not alleviate the consumer, consumer spending will reign in for months to come with continued foreclosures and the fallout. Also to note, we are not getting a pullback in oil, even as the dollar is having a strong rally today. Further evidence that funds are...
The energy companies themselves correlate to their underlying commodity. If trading stocks is too boring, play with a natty or crude mini contract. Natty is 1/4 size and crude is 1/2 size.
