In chapter two - the story about it happening in England - the English even refered to it as a Bubble. And called those fly-by-night companies "Bubbles."

My favourite Bubble is the guy who sold shares in his enterprise called, "Enterprise for producing great things which I can't tell you about yet because nobody is allowed to know" or something as idiotic. And 1,000 people paid him $2 to be allowed to buy shares when he revealed more in one month. (Of course, he shut up shop later that day and left England for Europe.)
