The Great Bubble of the 2020s

Many would not reference what we have faced in financial markets over recent months as a bubble popping. When investors think “Financial Bubble,” they think Internet Bubble (Dot Com Crash) in the early 2000s. The Nasdaq fell 78% in a matter of 2.5 years from its peak. Today’s Nasdaq has only fallen 22% from its all-time highs. These markets are not the same but, they do have some similarities.

For one, the markets were led by unprofitable, hyped up, growth only, cash-burning businesses.

The stocks that have been hit the hardest in this cycle have been the same : unprofitable, hyped up, ridiculous valuation, cash burning, and promise to revolutionize/change the world.

Look at the stocks that have lost 50%+ over the last 12 months. Almost all of them use innovation, rapid growth, or revolution on their websites or 10Ks.
