OT : Options Questions about Puts

I've bought and sold Calls before with no problem, and am looking to start doing some Puts now.

For Calls : If I think a stock will go up, I "buy to open" for the call, and then "sell to close" when I want to sell the option. I've never held to actually buy the security, have always sold before expiration.

--------------------------------

For Puts : Am I correct that if I think a stock will go down, then its still the same terminology? I also "Buy to open" and then "Sell to close" when I want to sell the option?

Am looking into buying some Puts on the IBB as its gone crazy. Kinda like hedging some of the bios that I have. Also maybe buying some Calls on TZA, etc.

Thoughts? Thanks.
