I stayed at it? Don't know what that means, but if you're trying to prove by me making a poor investment, that the company you're pumping is good.....well that's just the silliest tact I've seen. Why no puts? The company was to be bought out by Walgreens. C'mon do some research! And honestly, I can't believe you've never heard of protective puts vs just buying or selling puts. Didn't you say you were in the biz? How did you pass the Series 7 without understanding options?
