Is the Stock Market in a Bubble?
Are we in a stock market bubble?
📈 In this 2025 chart of daily bubble mentions across financial news and social media, notice two big spikes:
* February 2025, after Trump was inaugurated, but before the tariff conflicts began
* October 2025, as AI, Energy, Rare Earths, and Quantum stocks experienced volatility AFTER a run-up in speculative stock prices
🫧 Bubble discussions often peak after bubbles burst. But remember, many bubbles are recognized early on... and still keep going.
As George Soros once observed:
“[There is a] two-way reflexive connection between perception and reality,
which can give rise to initially self-reinforcing but eventually self-defeating
boom–bust processes, or bubbles.”
~ George Soros
“When I see a bubble forming I rush in to buy, adding fuel to the fire.
That is not irrational.”
~ George Soros
And a final reminder from Keynes:
“The market can remain irrational longer than you or I can remain solvent.”
~ Attributed to John Maynard Keynes
