>"Back in the spring of 1720, Sir Isaac Newton owned shares in the South Sea Company, the hottest stock in England. Sensing that the market was getting out of hand, the great physicist muttered that he 'could calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the people.' Newton dumped his South Sea shares, pocketing a 100% profit totaling £7,000. But just months later, swept up in the wild enthusiasm of the market, Newton jumped back in at a much higher price — and lost £20,000 (or more than $3 million in [2002-2003's] money. For the rest of his life, he forbade anyone to speak the words 'South Sea' in his presence."

This reminds me of the late 90’s. Lived in SEA and the joke was if you could turn on a computer, you were hired for six figures. Put .com in your earnings report and press release, and you had $100 stock price. Ahhh, the days of Rocky Mountain Internet, HomeGrocer.com, Jeeves, and Bear Stearns pimping these IPO’s
Calls it is boys. 🙃
