I knew we’d eventually get to this point! As Wall Street’s major indexes continue to rise, fueled by vaccine optimism and stimulus hopes, talk of a stock market bubble has… begun bubbling to the surface again.

Yes, I think so. And I’m not the only one.
Recent readings of CNN’s Fear & Greed Index are in the “extreme greed” range. The Fear & Greed Index measures seven indicators:
And looking at last week’s blockbuster IPOs for both Airbnb Inc. (Nasdaq: ABNB) and DoorDash Inc. (NYSE: DASH), we saw them open their first day of trading more than 100% higher than expected. That looks an awful lot like a market that is getting dangerously ahead of its skis.

So as I said, I think we are in a bubble, certainly when it comes to tech stocks and others that benefited most during the pandemic.
That means risks are rising. It also means we have to be careful as investors and speculators. The potential to lose a lot of money in a short amount of time rises as the bubble is further inflated.
