The Greater Fool theory of investing strikes again.
It’s called the Greater Fool Theory:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory
with investors and hype, things regress to the extreme
Surely it had something to do with retail investor euphoria...
Isn't this just the Greater Fool Theory [1][1] https://www.investopedia.com/terms/g/greaterfooltheory.asp
Imagine for a moment that you are following the hype instead of the facts. Now you understand why investors dump their money on these kinds of things.
Maybe this is just an example of the Greater Fool Theory[1] in action?1 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory
Public markets are turning into de facto bag holders. Buy a pig high on exuberance, sell it back to the company low.
Just a guess, but maybe because people are more likely to "panic sell" than they are to "panic buy".
Looks like they tried to time the market and failed. Smells like greed to me.
