English term or phrase: He was short puts.
The most danger in these meltdown events is in the greatest leverage — so the greatest risk is in short options — and usually short puts. You will remember my story of my customer who lost $57MM during the Reagan Crash of 1987. He was short puts. Some market makers have been destroyed by shorting calls, but the case is rare and specifically results in the case of takeovers and unurise concentration of commitments in one issue only.

he was short puts.
Ele fez venda curta de opções de venda.


Explanation:
Definição de short put:
A Bullish options strategy that involves selling short or "writing" a put option. When the stock rises above the strike price of the short put by expiration, the put options expire worthless and entire premium from its sale is earned.
The seller of the short put (gets the premium) is betting the stock price will be above the strike price on expiration so he can keep the premium.
The buyer of the short put (pays the premium) bets the stock price will be below the strike price on expiration so he can sell the shares at the strike price, i.e., above the (then) market price.
