Incidentally, there was another "bubble" based on fraud a few years ago. A (Canadian?) company had boasted a great gold discovery somewhere in the Pacifics. The local royalty and upper classes were amongst the "investors". It turned out that the whole thing was a case spraying silver and gold nitrites on cheap rocks. The peak of the bubble somewhat coincided with the chief geologist happening to fall off the helicopter at high altitudes.
