Quote for the Day:

Bubbles in asset markets are propelled by investors’ belief that some industry or the economy in general has entered a new era of unparalleled expansion— an era in which fundamentals that previously dictated more limited growth do not apply. At their origin, bubbles may indeed begin as a result of some new technology or rise in productivity that drives up asset prices. But the suddenness and the speed of change can lead to “waves of optimistic . . . sentiment, which are unreasoning” (Keynes 1936), or “irrational exuberance” (Greenspan 1996). In these cases, investors push prices beyond what is revealed ex post to be their fundamental values. The popping of a bubble forces painful reallocations of portfolios and resources, which are often accompanied by demands for government intervention.
