Abstract
This Article focuses on one of the recurring themes, not only in Professor Markham’s most recent volume but also in the earlier ones as well—speculation in the financial markets. The 2010–2020 decade set the stage for a new round of speculative activity starting in 2021. In the Article that follows, I reflect on a new wave of speculation and three current examples of speculative activity. The Article concludes that regulators should be cautious about over-regulation of special-purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and gamified trading. The article also supports the regulation of digital assets (cryptocurrencies and NFTs) as securities.
