absolutely - and there's more too, at least when it comes to historical & live data for stocks.

for example: stocks have multiple 'prices' - a bid, ask, last, mid, vwap, twap, etc. a stock's historical 'close' price can be split-adjusted, dividend-adjusted, unadjusted, split and dividend adjusted.. and more. a stock's ticker can change to a ticker used before. a stock can change ticker, but maintain a CIK identifier; a stock can change a CIK identifier, but keep the same ticker.

Why should we care about whether we're in a market bubble or not, especially if one does not have their own money staked in the bubble? It's somebody else's capital that's at risk, no? If they're wrong, let them reap the consequences.

(cue rebuttal based on systemic consequences / financial bailouts etc, but you know what I mean; also, the dotcom bubble deflation didn't require a bailout)

how could it not be a happy story. meanwhile prior, argentinians were facing even higher poverty levels, inflation at even higher extraordinary levels, and were facing extreme wealth inequality.

At least now, their currency isn't being constantly debased, and the savings of ordinary argentinians aren't being inflated away into the hands of an irresponsible government.
