Re: Sounds
I was just thinking of that, the Tulip market thing a couple of centuris (or so) ago.

Also demonstrated in fiction, in the 2nd season of 'Spice and Wolf' (pyrite market manipulation)
Still I have some Schadenfreude for the hedge-funders, one in particular [and no news whether or not this person, "the man who broke the bank of England", lost any significant money in this, but he probably DID].
Normal stock investors are long term, and a rising tide lifts all boats. The hedge-funders are basically selling SNAKE OIL and making money at the expense of others. Like I said: Schadenfreude.
