First puts stopped. When it reversed off the top, I tried for new puts, but accidentally bought calls. By the time I realized why I wasn't raking it in, I was down pretty bad and cut it. Tried to find a new entry for the puts I really wanted, but I missed the boat for another loss, instead of nice gain I would have had off the top. <grumble>
