What Is A Bubble And Are We In One? Goldman Answers
What is a "bubble" and are we in one?
Those two questions are a perennial obsession for market participants and especially for the financial media. There's always a bubble somewhere according to someone.
But in 2021, the bubble calls are even more prevalent than usual for a laundry list of reasons, not least of which are readily observable manifestations of what looks like outright delirium, whether it's Bitcoin at $60,000 or GameStop at $200.

Some things — TSLA at $800+ — clearly were at bubble valuations, but the fact that the market as a whole is not bubblecious doesn’t mean that many stocks aren’t overvalued. Especially if rates keep rising.
I generally agree with Goldman’s conclusion, but then I look at SPACs and wonder who the hell is buying this garbage?

Yup, what we’re seeing is the typical reaction to a once in a hundred year pandemic — no big deal, nothing is different and this is just part of the normal growth trend that was in-place. Please continue to support Goldman and our analysts.
The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Bitcoin is undergoing its fourth parabolic rise, therefore it should be compared to the fourth tulip bubble. Oh wait…
So if something has multiple parabolic rises it can’t be a bubble?
I guess that means the stock market can never be a bubble then.
