Corollary: for every economist/ finance professional predicting a bubble, there’s someone saying there is not. Assuming these predictions are not tied to a date or range of dates, atleast 50% are correct at any point in time

Along a similar line I like to note Andrew Odlyzko’s commentary on the history and dynamics of investment bubbles. He has written quite a bit on the subject – this is a brief First Monday summary… his work on the English rail mania of the 1840s is enlightening and great fun to read.
