lol, a blurb from the wiki on speculation:::
Speculation is often associated with economic bubbles. A bubble occurs when the price for an asset exceeds its intrinsic value by a significant margin.[7] Although not all bubbles occur because of speculation.[8] Speculative bubbles are characterized by rapid market expansion driven by word-of-mouth feedback loops as initial rises in asset price attract new buyers and generate further inflation.[9] The creation of the bubble is followed by a precipitous collapse fueled by the same phenomenon.[7][10] Speculative bubbles are essentially social epidemics whose contagion is mediated by the structure of the market.[10]
that would account for the uptick in tweets eh, word of mouth.
