The beauty of that, is simply that it proves that the market is ENGINEERED TO BE irrational.

Until the markets are engineered to be rational, with all required ratios being posted, all relevant competitive-information, etc, then bubble/crash/bubble/crash is enforced on our economy, perhaps industry-by-industry, but it is enforced.

& who has the courage & integrity to enforce that markets be made rational?

< crickets >

Nobody: that's who.

So, it's actually all just a pretence, used for the concentration-of-wealth, & so long as the pretence is profitable for the "haves & the have-more's" ( the ones G.W. Bush admitted, to them, that he served ), then nothing'll change.

Rational-market REQUIRES objective-information being where-it-is-needed, consistently, reliably.

That takes guts & integrity, in setting-up the rules of being in the stock-markets.
