$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pogoliamo', 'O')ver the next years there will be no bubble. Commodities will drop significantly, but dont hold your breath for 250$ gold or 30$ oil. Nobody will be so stupid to sell you on that prices anymore. Some shares may perform well, again, no tenbaggers anymore. An so on...

...
Maybe the best is to keep your money in cash in bank account. If there is deflation you may even get your reward. If there is a sudden opportunity you wont miss it.

from what I read over at Itulip.com the next bubble will be an "inflation" bubble where the fed allows the dollar to fall in a reasonable manner to bail out the US gov, Home owners, and MBS holders; such as Fannie/Freddie, hedge funds, and pensions. (holding rates steady while official inflation is "too high" is the begining of this)

This will also have the wonderful effect of screwing over everyone else on the planet, but ce la vie.

I am also of the opinion that like all previous bubbles, the FED will mis-manage this one as well and it will fall apart. Just like all previous attempts to bail people out from one asset collapse by bubbling up another.

The biggest bubble of all - derivatives Trading Soars to $370 Trillion - it will be the root cause for global depression

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he kind of euphoria in derivative trading has never been seen before. The amount of outstanding credit-default swaps contracts jumped by 60% at the end of last year. This year the rise is even faster. It is a typical pyramiding technique. Money is creating false concept of money and that in turn is creating ever lager conceptual money. When the tide blow off and balloon bursts, the catastrophe will be unimaginable. The 1929 debacle and resulting depression will be miniscule to what is coming.

You know these terms:
10^6 million
10^9 billion
10^12 trillion

Now get used to these:

10^15 quadrillion
10^18 quintillion
10^21 sextillion
10^24 septillion
10^27 octillion

I wouldn't call myself an economist (though I did study economics at High School), but I've felt we've been waaay overblown for a while.

[Cobra_Strike]

Well now....hmmm....Guess the main reason the mainstream media is ignoring this is that there does not seem to be any positive way it could possibly be spun.

[Zardoz]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Graeme', '.')..What do the economists posting here think of this?!!

Can someone give a simple explanation to what this all means to a non economist. Thanks.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')ow high will the Dow go? 15,000? 20,000?
How about 36,000?

While euphoria sweeps stock markets here and worldwide, there are at least a few voices of dissent.

One, unsurprisingly, is legendary value investor Jeremy Grantham -- the man Dick Cheney, plus a lot of other rich people, trusts with his money. Grantham, chairman of Boston firm Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo, has been a voice of caution for years. But he has upped his concerns in his latest letter to shareholders. Grantham says we are now seeing the first worldwide bubble in history covering all asset classes.

Everything is in bubble territory, he says.

Everything. 'The bursting of this bubble will be across all countries and all assets.'

seems like a good excuse to have a party

[emersonbiggins]

Just recalled from the bookstore bargain bin...

[Tyler_JC]

Well, in 10 years the Dow went from 2,000 to 10,000. That's a compound rate of increase of only 17% a year.

To go from Dow 10,000 to Dow 100,000 at a 17% annual rate of increase takes only 15 years.

The power of compounding is utterly incredible.

And in 1999, it seemed reasonable that the stock market would continue to return 17% a year from now until the end of time.

Because obviously Cisco Systems would eventually have a market capitalization greater than global GDP by 2015...

That is how valuable that stock would need to be by 2015 in order to justify its March, 2000 earnings per share ratio.

The market will just blow another bubble till it can't anymore.
