a question to all traders who use options.
If you wanted to position yourself for the market falling 20% between now and march 2015 what trade would to place. I am looking to buy a put but which one.
thanks,

Not enough information there... With your formulation, you can buy any put and it will be just dandy. You need to specify the odds.

Why don't you just sell the JUN/15 CALL? It's further out so the premium will likely be top end and you can benefit from the lower time decay even if the drop you envisage is toward the far end of your time range.
