n this otherwise unfathomable rally.

Options expiration Friday and put/call ratio is near record high. Da Boyz gotta juice the markets so the puts owned by the putzes expire worthless.

I am almost completely out of the home builders at this point. Just not enough resources to short everything so have to look at what will be most profitable on the next leg down.

Tend to agree with the other respondent that they may be juicing the stocks to cause the most options pain going into expiration.
