Boom, Bust & Mania
What do tulip bulbs and cryptocurrencies have in common? Today’s episode proves that amateurs are at the highest risk for losing big when an asset is in a bubble. You need only look at our crazes in modern times like the tech stock bubble of the early 2,000s, the sub-prime crisis in 2008, and even the designer fruit craze in modern-day Japan, where it can cost up to £20,000 for a square watermelon. Jim Rogers, a financial commentator, and successful international investor says, “If you want to be rich you should study history.” Unfortunately, the average investor doesn’t understand the fundamentals of the markets.
