equities, and the potential pain has increased accordingly. But during the year, the bubble advanced to the category of superbubble, one of only three in modern times in U.S. This time last year it looked like we might have a standard bubble with resulting standard pain for the economy. So, once more unto the breach, dear friends. I doubt speculators in the current bubble will listen to me now but giving this advice is my job and possibly the right thing to do. The experience also makes it easy for me to sympathize with the view that bearish advice in bubbles always comes from old fogeys who “just don’t get it,” because I received that old fogey advice back then and just didn’t listen. This taught me a lesson, and it helped make me cautious. My main stock, American Raceways, tripled while I was on vacation – $7 to $21 – then went to $100 by Christmas, only to lose it all even quicker by the following June, as almost all the fireworks exploded and crashed.

Previous equity superbubbles had a series of distinct features that individually are rare and collectively are unique to these events. we are in the fourth superbubble of the last hundred years. All five of these superbubbles corrected all the way back to trend with much greater and longer pain than average. There were also superbubbles in housing in the U.S. But before they did, a handful went on to become superbubbles of 3-sigma or greater: in the U.S. All 2-sigma equity bubbles in developed countries have broken back to trend.
