I don't think that buying puts moves the stock down. That takes short selling or a serious negative market sentiment regarding the stock. The negative sentiment does not seem to be here or we would be much lower. There do not seem to be very many shares to borrow to short. Matter of time, we go up. Better sell those $2.50 puts while you have time. You don't seem to be the kind of trader who recently purchased those deep in the money $4.00 and $5.00 puts. $FXCM$
