sourceThis store is BBWI not BBBY which is why I'm unsure if post is troll or serious. Lot of people made a lot of money on a online bookstore though.

sourceTBH shorting BBWI probably isn't a bad idea(long dated puts, anyway). They're one of those nice but not necessary stores that's going to get fucked harder than some others when the economy takes a shit soon.
