“I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.’ According to legend, Isaac Newton said this after losing a fortune investing in the South Sea Company. He’d bought shares in late 1719 and initially seen his investment rise, which persuaded him to cash in.

When the bubble burst a few months later, he lost £20,000, equivalent to around £20 million in today’s money.[1]”
