A RATIONAL OR IRRATIONAL PHENOMENON?


Emotional and cognitive biases (see Behavioral Finance ) seem to be the causes of bubbles. But, often, when the phenomenon appears, pundits try to find a rationale, so as not to be against the crowd. Thus, sometimes, people will dismiss concerns about overpriced markets by citing a New Economy where the old stock valuation rules may no longer apply. This type of thinking helps to further propagate the bubble whereby everyone is investing with the intent of finding a Greater Fool .
