8 years ago, tech stocks, and the stock market in general, were frenzied bubbles. Pop. About 6 years ago, residential and other forms of real estate received massive investment. Residential has popped, and commercial/office is at a lofty level. Emerging markets caught fire in the last couple of years, and there are signs of stress in certain of those crazed markets (China has been going 'pop' on a regular basis - India got smashed - Thailand was cut down to size). What will be the next bubble that develops?
well making money with websites have gotten very big again, hence I hear web 2.0 bubble. This hasn't been reflected in stocks that much other than google, but if the stock market continues to do well, I won't be surprised if internet stocks start ramping up.
That's interesting. The last bubble in cash, if I'm right, was in 1978-1980, when CDs yielded 18%. I think if we have a bubble in cash positions, we'd have to have severe stagflation. But who knows...
Of course. Yes. I mean, in general, or specific applications? I know of nano applications in chemicals, robotics, biotech, materials...
There is going to be BOOM in all of them. A little bit more boom in robotics than probably chemicals and biotech.
