The dutch market once decided that a tulip bulb should be worth as much as a house.

And then one day, they didn't.

That's the problem when people are simply assigning arbitrary values to things with ABSOLUTELY NO BASIS IN REALITY.

Once buying shares in a company stopped meaning you were buying a percentage of future profits, the entire system became a pyramid scheme. It will keep going up, until it collapses. That is the final outcome of every financial mania since history began. William says human nature has changed and this time is different. I disagree.
