am i getting this right`?

dump n pump. day trading. long term strategies. build up for the next big thing or delusion or hysteria or lie.

if you read mainstream narratives like "AI bubble", translate it to several millions of people making lots of bucks via a lot of fraud mixed into some good, genuine, valuable work of productive people.

investors and wall street people doing anything financial is not tied to bottom up signals but to insider knowledge and top down supply chain LEGAL manipulation by people not directly involved in the actual work done.

or it's a wrap up ( made money, time to shift or prep something that will hypergrow again, maybe already re-pre-hyped ).

or it's reactions to having maxed out some part of the supply chain which had negative consequences to some other market which reduced overall gains enough to realize "oops", if we don't re-act now, future gains in other markets will be reduced almost catastrophically.

bubble talks always feels like a mix of hyped people really getting fucked over by fraud runners

the details are not too relevant for the moment as I can't have play money to invest but the narratives are interesting because they directly translate into what I read in the suggestions and advice, subliminal or direct, from people to other people.
