Hi @patrick,

I was wondering what your thoughts were in terms of profiting from the downturn of the stock market/economy that is looming. I'm extremely bearish on all retail (especially retail stores in which more than 80% of their goods can be found on Amazon for cheaper). I feel like buying put options might provide some decent value if timed properly.

Thoughts?

Why do you think Target stock dropped so much since Christmas @patrick?

Target doesn't seem down all that much, still within the range of noise. If you take the really long view, still looks pretty good.

It's all perspective I suppose. If you take the really long view on a high percentage of stocks they all look pretty good these days.

I guess there's only one way to find out who is wrong or right in the near term... I'll buy some short term and mid term put options for a number of retailers and see how it pans out.
