It absolutely is, where "finding the greater fool" is defined as
"juicing the numbers just long enough to pull off an IPO, and scampering
off before the resulting twisted steroid mutant collapses into flaming
ruin."

This is why I never participate in IPO:s. Much better to wait for the small initial uptick, and then potentially buy once the lipstick comes off the pig.

Unfortunately, this model is absolutely *epidemic* these days (in the
US, at least.) Ed Zitron - https://www.wheresyoured.at/ - has written
quite a bit in the last few years about the deleterious effects this
has had on the tech industry.

This is not so good. This abuse of capitalism is what gives life to the left.
