Because his alterego old blue eyes has told him to short and to buy a 4 pack of double AA duracells for his alarm clock.
It's still one of the all time cyberclassics when bluey stated, here, he was taking a short out in the morning and, lo and behold, MNT rose by about 20%, I recall, the very next morning. Bluey's first comment in the morning, or was it late morning, no I didn't short, my alarm clock didn't go off. An absolute classic.
I'm still PMSL at that pile of old bull. Anyone taking any notice of these classic liars can only do so at their peril.
AIMHO of course, WP.....and bogbrush's favourite....DYOR...(sic)...
