What Are Economic Bubbles? – The dot.com Bubble

0
0

There have always been bubbles and there will always be bubbles. Bubbles are when a products value continues to rise considerably beyond its true, intrinsic value. People buy simply because they believe that everybody else is going to buy. Bubbles are often identified only in retrospect because it is often difficult to observe intrinsic values in real-life markets. Prices in an economic bubble can fluctuate erratically, and become impossible to predict from supply and demand alone. But what happens when the bubble inevitably bursts? This short course tries to answer this and many other questions. Especially we take a closer look at the dot.com bubble, but many of the teachings can also be applied in understanding all the other bubbles as well.
