18. Don't blame market manipulation

It looks like fear of missing out to me. Big money managers think a lot alike and they have to. If everyone else’s fund is up because they’re in the market and you’re on the sidelines, that looks so bad. You’re going to lose investors or at least have a lot of explaining to do. Computers only make them move in lockstep even more. And what started the rally? Prices fell so fast, people saw stocks at prices much lower than they sold for earlier and figured they couldn’t go too wrong buying at this level.
