Put options has a few very significant advantages and one of the most direct of these is the ability for you to BUY the DROP of a stock. Put options gain in price as the underlying stock DROPS! Yes, with put options, there will be no need for shorting stocks in order to profit from a drop in price of a stock.

Selling put options lets you play banker to people who are betting on the price of a stock going downwards. If they are wrong, you get to keep the "bet money". This allows you to profit when the stock goes upwards OR simply stayed sideways!
