Bonus Episode: Is this a Pump-and-Dump Economy?

Today is Labor Day in the US. It feels like we all need a break from the bizarre-o world we've been in lately.

A pump-and-dump scheme in the stock market is when a stock is artificially pumped up through promotion. The stock is sold while the price is high and then the buyers are left holding the bag once the price drops.

Does any of this sound familiar?  *Gestures broadly*  Does it not seem like that's what's happening, well, everywhere these days?
