Who has been doing this for decades? When has "Wall st." coordinated a random attack to squeeze cash out of an entity just for the hell of it?

You may disagree with the outcomes of short pressure, or private equity actions etc., thats fine, but I think there is an important distinction between actors in the market doing something profitable because they actually believe it, and the hysteria of a mob just randomly committing financial mayham because they can.

I don't think we want to live in a world where markets are increasingly led by irrational forces simply amplified by media and misinformation...its not good in media right now, I shudder to think what happens if that behavior gets a foothold in markets.
