Michael Young does an excellent job of defining the Bear Put strategy for novice traders.  To execute a Bear Put strategy a trader buys ATM put options and sells OTM put options in the asset that is expected to fall simultaneously.  He explains in detail what the strategy is and when to use it as well as illustrating the margins of profit and loss that could occur from using this method.  He points out that loss is limited but a disadvantage of using this strategy is that potential profit is also limited.  I appreciate the way he concentrates on one strategy, only a seasoned professional could make sense of anything else.
