I opened my first actual short position that day (instead of just buying puts). He literally set an upper limit on how much money you could lose and I just felt really confident he was full of crap.

Got out of the position at a bit under $310 so left a lot on the table but was happy. He literally handed people considering opening a short position on the stock a gift.

...and those of us who bought puts, because we don't feel comfortable actually shorting a stock. :-)

(Congrats on your successful trade!)
