Inflation Premiums at Multi-Week Highs Suggest Breakout for Commodities

I think "untrusting investor" must have meant "buy puts, wait for prices to decline, then sell at a profit," if indeed he/she believes that prices will fall in the next 1-24 months. I don't know why anyone would write puts in a declining market — to keep the premiums and have the options expire worthless, you'd have to write them at so far below the current stock price that you'd get next to nothing for selling them.
