Bubbles do not require margin or borrowed money. The most clasic bubble
of all, tulip-mania, burst naturally through the breeding of more rare
tulips, making them less rare, and less valuable.
<p>Today's bubble in the stock prices of dot-coms, creating billion dollar
valuations for companies that may never turn at a profit, but having nothing
to do with leverage, will also die a slow death as the substantial quantities
of shares still held by insiders come onto the market.
<p>Regards
<br>DanG
<p><i>I think most</i>
<br><i>people (myself included) define these terms as meaning asset prices
that</i>
<br><i>have been artificially inflated through the use of margined or borrowed</i>
<br><i>money.&nbsp; If you agree to that definition, then there is simply
no evidence</i>
<br><i>for your claim.&nbsp; Over the past 5 years (since the stock market
first began</i>
<br><i>to take off), the amount of stock purchased on margin as a percentage
of all</i>
<br><i>stock outstanding has actually FALLEN.&nbsp; In absolute terms,
the figure has</i>
<br><i>grown significantly, but as a percentage of the whole market, it's
down.</i>
<br><i>Where's the bubble?</i><i></i>

I didn't expect that answer AT ALL.  So you feel the rates are likely 
to go way down, thus increasing value of the bonds?  And you expect 
that increase to outweigh the losses to inflation or other attacks on 
the dollar's value?

I don't know what to expect on this.  Rates up or down, inflation or 
deflation, I really don't have a good feel for which way it is likely 
to go when everything goes boom.  I wish I understood the mechanics 
better.  This is one time when this technical trader wishes he had a 
better fundamental background.

I assume by this you mean that inflation sapped any gains?  Would you 
expand on your answer, please?

I think this topic concerns all of us, and I'm very interested in 
pursuing the thread further.  Private emails from others indicate I'm 
not the only one.  I hope anyone else who feels they have a good 
handle on the likely scenarios and/or the best financial survival 
plans will share it with us.  Thanks!
