if you want to lock in the profits just buy puts.

Umm what profits would those be? This is a $150 stock trading at $300 IMO.

Selling short means I can wait forever for the stock to fall.

Buying puts means I have to be able to anticipate how soon and how fast it will drop, and I have no idea.

Please explain the advantage. I'd also like to know why buying puts in this situation is better than selling calls.
