Getty Images Market speculation is seemingly everywhere. From new SPACs being issued, to the prevalence of Reddit stocks such as GameStop to the popularity of electric vehicle stocks and the rise of cryptocurrency – speculation is alive and well in the markets today. “Mania” is a good word to describe the energy surrounding these types of investments. Dramatic daily swings are the new normal in these holdings. Hollywood elites and business moguls are attaching their names to crypto and the latest SPAC investments. The top mania investment areas are electric vehicles, cryptocurrency, Reddit stocks, space, SPACs, precious metals and pot stocks. The dictionary definition of mania describes “excessive or unreasonable enthusiasm.” That seems about right. The result has been a meteoric rise in value not tied to business fundamentals but tied to hype, expectations or projections.
