market folly

Going into the holiday weekend, we thought we'd post up two fun Friday videos that we are going to call, "what a short squeeze feels like." Don't worry, both videos are work safe. (Email readers make sure you come to the blog to view the videos).

Oh, and for those of your curious/puzzled/in denial: yes, the second video is fake.
