Let's take the three words: unnatural, insane, and dangerous. I personally don't believe this is "unnatural". It certainly is a new phenomenon. But the very nature of of stock trading is accepting a level of risk. Insane: Yeah, pretty crazy to see these stocks blow up but it isn't the first time frenzy has broken out. Dangerous: I think that it is certainly a new variable of danger for the short sellers as their losses can be more than 100 percent. That is who is now is having to accept a more dangerous risk in their speculations. The bottom line is that there are a lot of small investors taking the short sellers to the woodshed and they are getting rich doing it. That is ok with me. Does it turn investing into a new form of gambling? Sure. And these companies, if they had any brains, should be issuing stock--if anyone will take it--in order to shore up their balance sheet. But this success also brings new retail eyes to the stock market. Retail has been basically abandoning stocks or only investing passively. So I am happy with that.
