Every Bubble Had the Same 3 Warning Signs. They're Back.

In 1637 a single tulip bulb sold for the price of a house. In 1989 one of Japan's biggest investors took stock tips from a ceramic toad. In 2021 two pizzas were worth $690 million. Every major stock market bubble, from tulips to 2021's everything bubble, scored on the same three warning signs. Then the two questions that matter: what popped each one, and who paid? And finally, today's AI boom, scored the same way.
