I'd be willing to sell put options on NASTY shares at the IPO price if you were interested in taking a short position.

1.  I would never buy a PUT option from the operator of a company because:
   a) There's asymmetrical information in their favour,
   b) If they scam the company they obviously won't honour the put call.

2.  Doubt very much puppet's plan is to short EVERY company - just the worst ones.

3.  Following on from 2., your company is one of the minority on GLBSE that has an A grade in my personal list.  Don't be TOO flattered by that - as I pretty much only day-trade and A grade just means that I believe the price is stable enough within a range that I feel comfortable leaving up bids overnight.  A B grade means I'll trade in it but not leave bids up whilst afk, below that means I won't trade it at all.  There's more securities with ratings below B in my list than As + Bs combined.

In short, yours isn't one of the securities I'd look to short - there's far better targets.

Puppet may, of course, have a different view.
