The entire stock market is basically 99.9% blind speculation and 0.1% basic math

The US, England, and Japan are all returning to quantitative easing policy. So we've once again got too much money chasing too few investments. What a lot of naive investors see as a market bubble is recognized among the more savvy as a return to our ongoing policy of asset inflation.

A lot of what SpaceX is selling boils down to an access point to public spending - through sale of military hardware and equipment, network access to Starlink, and R&D funds allocated to the private sector. That's what is really driving investment. It is, in effect, a play on the future of police and military spending.

Still wildly overvalued imho. But not "blind" speculation.
