BullTard
An idiot who thinks that stock markets always rise.
The bulltards who bought Google’s stock at $500, since it was such a great price after falling from $650, have hopefully learned something now that it’s below $400.

BUT we use Level 3 and Level 2 accounting to Mark to Make Belief and Mark To Model. We can than also record the declining value of our own debt (as Bond holders flee in panic) as even more gains. Then we wait for the short bus to pull up and let the Bulltards come in and bid up our shares…
