Equity markets, for several years now, have been dominated by gambling, aka “speculation”, instead of fundamentals (P/E ratios, etc.)

So who knows what the masses driven by craziness will do.

Way back in the 19th century, the era of booms and busts, speculation was rampant. But in those days here in ‘Murica, if one went bust, one could just move west and take some more land from those nasty redskins, and start over.

Not so easy today.
