when can I buy puts then?
Much safer than touching the stock. I believe the options should be expensive too.
I am profitable 10 months out of 12 months in a year and I have been profitable in the last 10 years and I have 15 years of trading experience. I might make money on LNKD but I don't want that profit. Don't trade it.
I believe it's 60days post IPO to be eligible to short. I'm not 100% positive.
then you should long it

With shares being brand new, in the clearing process, I would imagine it takes time to hypothicate shares in order to be borrowed.
Given the type of brokerage the OP probably deals with, I doubt they would let him borrow (assuming ANY were available). Fiduciary responsibilty.
Fills amidst the initial volatility would interesting.
I watched a guy in 1998 short EBAY around 30ish. Met margin calls for awhile. Lost 6 figures on that one position. EBAY peaked at about 119 in 2005 pre-split.
