The Merits of Frenzy and Freaking Out

The stock market is swinging wildly and so a journalist asks me if I, or people I know, are freaking out and canceling plans. Why not? 

Let's whip the frenzy to even greater heights! If everyone reads about people canceling plans like theirs, than they can freak out and cancel as well! Everyone can freak. We can spread the panic, put more people out of work, and damage more businesses. And for what reason? Because someone else freaked. That's good enough reason, right?
