I can't tell if this is actual serious advice but I rather be down my 4k that I am than put more and blow up the rest

### REPLY:
Well one thing is if you're bearish instead of buying puts you sell call spreads instead. For example with 298.5/299.5 can get at least 40% gain by just saying spy won't go up more than a $1 by friday. Much easier than buying puts and worrying about decay
