Buying PUTS on VISA

I have decided to buy puts on VISA.
When the Visa IPO came out, I believed that V was way overpriced. There was a lot of hype during the IPO yet it fell and dropped like a rock. The SPY made a 3.5% move today yet V was in the red the entire day.
There is a smell in the air and this was one is toast. There are no short shares available yet so I bought some long dated in the money puts. However, I think it might be better to be more aggressive.
Had this stock IPOed 2 years ago then it would have been at 10. Its all baked into the cake now and my expectation is for V to drop like a rock during next earnings call.
In a similiar move, I had bought puts on the Fortress IPO and the Blackstone IPO. I have also shorted both and added to those short positions all the way down. My opinion is that there was so much hype during those IPOS and they were wildly overpriced. I know that both these companies will go the way of Neiderhoffer and Amaranth. They will shutter their doors one day and thats not if, but when.
Visa is done, stick a fork in it. Trade your mastercard as the sweet overvalued trade vehicle it is, but the VISA IPO is for those who like to go short.
Short or buy puts on VISA.
you are a genius...whats your new screen name? i'm guessing you have a new one since you haven't posted for a few days.
I closed out the short on Ford, but never closed the FSLR trade which is going well for me. I did not sell the puts on Visa.
It appears the Visa call was a train wreck and I shall recover and probably a swift recovery at that.
Do not question JackStone54. HAHAHAHA.

really? what price did you close out of ford? and you are still down in your FSLR trade if we are to believe your original short.
Down a cool $3,000 on this in AH but since I'm long since 60 I don't really care that much. Not selling.
LOL, complete BS. Everyone of your trade recommendations tank, and everytime you have some excuse about how you magically are actually doing well with the trades LOL.Quote from jackstone54:

We are talking about Jeff Citron. Has already had to pay a $22.5 million dollar fine to the SEC before.Quote from newguy05:
vonage was not a hot ipo, it was a disaster at the get go, how a company with hundreds of millions in debt can go ipo is beyond me. Basically just the thieves cashing out their loot to the investors.
goog, vmw, bx, v etc are hot ipos, only bx tanked amid the financial crisis, rest all went up shortly after ipo.
My point is, it's just not worth it when there are so many other fish in the pond to choose from.
