(noun) Extreme degree of screwup or fuckup or snafu, often linked to fatalities, disease, destruction and no way out. Derived from President George W. Bush, the ultimate source right now of bushups, but he does have relatives and staff and fellow Republicans, and God is not always kind, so the term is not going away.

Successful investment technique based on recognizing a bubble or fad before other people, buying early and selling before or soon after the peak. The best stupidity riders monitor PE ratios in stocks and how much it costs to rent in real estate versus mortgage costs, and remember that if everybody is talking about this kind of investment, it's time to sell. (synonym: greed ride)
