    It’s not so much bubble behaviour as it is widescale fraud across the stock market.

        I think the issue is less about who is manipulating it - basically everyone is - and more about the lack of regulation and control to prevent, stop, or even punish those manipulating the stock market negatively, be it for greater profits or political.

      It’s so tempting to short it, but the moment I do God will look down and personally ensure the stock sees record highs until I see a lethal amount of debt

        Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent

        Wish I knew where I heard that one

      Why not? A hardware company that was a huge part of the country’s GDP, and essential to the companies at the center of the bubble?

      Different companies in different eras with different market situations but you can really put any stock which bubbled up there and draw the same conclusions.

      The reason they chose CISCO 2000 is because it had such a large networth compared to percentage of GDP.

        Savouring the anticipative Schadenfreude of that inevitable pop and the disarray which will follow is one of the few things which keep me going. And it won’t make me happy in the slightest when the waves’ll hit pretty much everyone around.

        But I’d be lying if I said I won’t take immense satisfaction in the fall of every one of these monoliths. And I still hold the belief that humanity won’t just keep on hammering itself in the face like this over and over again. Maybe when this one falls… y’know? Or maybe the next one if not this one. Narrowing horizon of action, but it isn’t closed yet.

        Edit: crap, sorry about the dump. Going through it, it seems.
