the BEAR RUSH TO CAPITAL ... brokers along with general population will "sell winners" to raise CASH ($$$$)

 "BOTD is the SHIT!  AMAZING call on the Black Beauty of PUTNESS! (UNAPI!!!)" 

SHORT USO! ... UNAPI pays!

USO falls 3+ points...UPANI up 25%+

go team!

IN GOLD WE TRUST ... BUY (GTU) GOLD TRUST.

SHORT SNAP-ON @ $48 ... SNARJ, SNARJ!

Why pay a mechanic to fix your car ?

                      ..... when you can use DUCT TAPE!?!

Today UNAPI, our BLACK BEAUTY of PUTNESS, hit a low of $4... with our limit order set last night as posted.

BOTD added (UNAPI) at $4.20 ... (4:20 halla)

 (again ....this is our lotto ticket, roulette wheel, carnival ring toss speculative pick to cure overall market boredom)

SHORT the USO as OIL goes to $115?

CALLING TOPS = HEAD CHOPPED OFF

We must be bored...and in need of a gambling style RUSH.

USO hits NEW HIGH of $87.79!!

Record high OIL @111 = Record low puts on USO

SHORT LOGIC = boredum + OIL up too much, too quick
(3 month chart above .... FEB to NOW 70 to 87 , wow!)

yo mama says "you nappy" (don imus is a moron) .... UNAPI ! (p.o.p)


APR 19, 2008 $ 87.000 PUT (UNAPI : OPRA)
Day's Range
4.10 - 4.80
current bid $4.30
current ask $4.50
... $4.20 sounds like a nice starting point. (4:20 bro!)

or wait for another p.o.p. and try APR 19, 2008 $ 90.000 PUT (UNAPL)

The Middle Finger of Fashion ... *SHORT* Urban Outfitters, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:URBN)

with this market rally the BOTD is getting SHORT URBN.

SHORT * URBN above $30!

30.00+1.13 (3.91%)

p.o.p. (puts on the pop)

the SHORT LOGIC = URBN is near its 52 week high, 30+ P/E , they sell things at a store, in America, ha..., specialty retail, lifestyle merchandise?...

.Parents do your part! cut off your spoiled kids trendy crap allowance.

p.s. you are not a hippie if you buy "new" used-looking clothes.

p.p.s.... and hey, Cramer likes URBN, ... that should help it go lower. hehe.

SUPER BEN & RULE #14

BEN you tricky bastard, you. Just when our SMN trade couldn't look any sexier. SUPER BEN and his bottomless wallet adds 200 billion to save a few banks ... market rallies 400 points ... SMN down 10%.

RULE #14 ... TOO MUCH, TOO QUICK = BAD

we hate seeing a stock we own up 10% in one day, its too much, every time we get whacked ... or options up 60% or 100% by noon , its just too much ... BE AFRAID WHEN MAKING TOO MUCH, TOO QUICK ... same holds true for the reverse ... like seeing RIO down 10% in one day? ... up too much or down too much, this market wont let you make too much too quick. (solution = see rule #1)

rule #1 ... must take profits in 2008.

SMN = Sell MON Now!!!

The UltraShort ETF dipper!

44.50
+2.90 (+6.97%)

BOTD added SMN as the AG plays started to break to the upside...we dug deep with repeat BUYS as it made new 52 week lows...today our BEARishness PAID!

short MON and other toppy ag plays with SMN = Sell Mon Now!!!

p.s. CBG = 17.69 -0.79 (-4.27%) .... CBGOD up another 15%, bid at 2.30

$5 gas, $15 lunch, $115 oil, $1500 gold ... ohhh my CBGOD!

BOTD wins again ... some guy said he liked our CMG short, but questioned our legitimacy with the CBG short...hmmmm... p.o.p.

CBGOD!
2.00
+0.65 (+48.15%)
MAR 22, 2008 $ 20.000 PUT

....that BOTD chart of love deserves a little ...

CBGOD wins! ~ DIE REAL ESTATE! DIE!

50%+ profits with p.o.p! .... and some help from the man upstairs.

COLDWELL "the dog" BANKER goes back under $20 (todays low was 18.90)

if you added CBGOD on the pop from 20 to 22 on our RECO, you win~! ... our "dog god" put play was down below 50 cents multiple days...today CBGOD ranged from 1.20 to 1.50... bottom line, some called us "nuts" to buy puts on the pop on CBG...go figure.

p.s. CBG will go lower >>> if/when we get more p.o.p action SHORT CBG above $20.

p.s.s. MARCH 18th = BEN
