The 5 Biggest Bubbles In Markets Today<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Bubbles aren\u2019t new\u2014they\u2019ve been around since Dutch tulips\u2014but it\u2019s only recently that they\u2019ve worked their way into the average investor\u2019s lexicon. That\u2019s probably because bubbles happen much more frequently these days.<\/p>\n

We never used to get a giant speculative bubble every 7\u20138 years. But that has been the case since the new millennia.<\/p>\n

In 2000, we had the dot-com bubble.<\/p>\n

In 2007, we had the housing bubble.<\/p>\n

In 2017, we have the everything bubble.<\/p>\n

Why do we call it the everything bubble? Well, there is a bubble in a bunch of asset classes simultaneously (I delve deeper into this topic in my free exclusive special report, Investing in the Age of the Everything Bubble<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at some of them.<\/p>\n

Real Estate<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can spot real estate bubbles all around the world now.<\/a> Canada, Australia, Sweden, Hong Kong, China\u2014and California\u2014to name a few.<\/p>\n

Home prices in California have risen by 69% since 2010. Meanwhile, Canadian housing has shot up<\/a> 1040% over the same period.<\/p>\n

Why do these bubbles exist? For starters, ultra-loose monetary policy (which is also the reason that the bitcoin bubble exists).<\/p>\n

What will be the catalysts that deflate these real estate bubbles? I\u2019m not sure, but usually there isn\u2019t a catalyst. The marginal house price just gets too expensive.<\/p>\n

It seems pretty nutty that another real estate bubble is forming just ten years after the last one that nearly wiped out the planet. But real estate has been part of the food fight in asset prices and it appears to be peaking.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cryptocurrencies<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have probably heard about the madness in cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ripple. Ethereum is up about 3,600% this year. As for bitcoin, it is old and boring and up only 343% this year.<\/p>\n
