Bass is short JGBs? how very annoying, I might have to buy some
I'm awful like that 😁 for your amusement, shorting JGBs, aka 'the widowmaker', has been tried by generations since the 90's and it routinely carried people out until only recently. a friend of mine once got thrown out of a meeting by Kyle Bass (Texan tit) for telling him why it wasn't going to work.
