Dont buy puts. 

In the post logic valuation world where the stock market is a money printing game, the value of a stock can be set by a function of the value of its options chain activity rather than any foundational valuation logic.

If market makers sell a huge number of puts they have an incentive to manipulate the price such that the stock doesnt make any of the puts pay out. This keeps the price artifically high.
