Fun times. Although I find it hard to blame them tbh.

They’re incentived to do so because apparently investors don’t understand the difference.

Or, investors do understand the difference, but think they're buying low to sell high to "greater fools."

If the market can remain irrational longer than a fundamentals-driven investor can remain solvent, is it irrational to bet on the market remaining irrational?

Fair point. Reminds me of the Warren Buffet quote:

If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy.

I have seen both. I have heard some talking on live television about how it is a bubble, but it isn’t popping yet, so keep investing. Everyone seems to just be trying to get theirs while the party is still happening.
