I would be very interested in learning if anyone is undertaking an analysis of all 'heard mentality' news articles, tv news coverage, investment shows (like Jim Kramer's Mad Money), etc. that fed us with 'asymmetric information,' helping to inflate this bubble and the last high tech stock bubble. Surely media needs to do some self evaluation and learn from its mistakes as well. Much news 'coverage' is really corporate propaganda in disguise enabled by lazy journalists. 'Let the buyer beware.'
