### Comment:
so you're saying we should go short?

### REPLY:
The post is simply saying that our Quant Models score HP as an F and that skew is expensive.  Yes, you can go short or you can replicate a short trade using options.  However, when going short, you pay a rate to borrow the stock to short.  Options introduce 'other' kinds of risk but the payoffs on a risk-adjusted basis may be more attractive.
