"When our "animal spirits flip from greed to fear, the bubble that [our] earlier euphoria inflated can burst with amazing suddenness ... markets are mirrors of the human psyche. Like Homo sapiens, they can become depressed. They can even suffer complete breakdowns. This is no new insight. In the 400 years since the first shares were bought and sold on the Amsterdam Beurs, there has been a long succession of financial bubbles. Time and again, asset prices have soared to unsustainable heights only to crash downward again."
Yes, scorpions sink. But guess what: They always, always come back. Blow new bubbles. It's in their nature.
