A friend called-in, the other day and told Rush Limbaugh that he and his investment group planned to 'short' BP.
This was little more than an eyebrow raise for me until Rush mentioned it again.
I pondered, and concluded that that was a hint and,
based on his track record of accuracy and that he stressed that his friends were doing it
and that he knows a lot of heavyweights in the political, golf and business world, there might be a trade to be made.
So we 'shorted' BP;
