Although people are fickle and always have been, the "flash in the pan" ( here today gone tomorrow) effect has been hugely magnified by instaneous global communications, the pressure to report unvetted information in a 24h news cycle, and a natural tendency toward group think. 

Too true!      Smiley

PS at WAY:  I think that the term "fickle" was likely to be aimed at "public opinion" as expressed on the net, rather than at people like you who have a considerable amount of financial interest in a situation and are therefore fully entitled to consider their immediate reactions to it.
