Oh it's all a racket, built on the hopes and dreams of
   investors. What makes it interesting is when AI started entering
   the game. AI requires programmers and sometimes the programmers
   DIDN'T start their little creations off on the right foot, but
   they've been improving dramatically.
   So, the hopes and dreams of the AIs programmed by mutual fund
   owners perhaps? tongue emoticon But that's just the stocks.
   You've got real estate, and the businesses owning businesses
   owning businesses and a whole lot of idiocracy going on.
