I might have answered my own question - perhaps it's when we see corporations speculate and win it adds no value and is gross? But if they actually do come up with a better way to price houses and fix them efficiently it's a positive right?

The buzzword of the week is macroeconomics.

For the parachute pants aficianados, the 1980's used the term poison pill to thwart certain strategies. The linear explains a lot of "fun the mentals/fundamentals" in place in 2022.

Layoffs, housing price decreases, used car decreases, crypto crashes, balloning interest rates.

It looks like the updated strategy is "get them high enough to where the fall kills them" :)

It does sound like a macroeconomic saying if you look at several linears for each :p
