Lessons from the Dot-Com Bubble: Beware the arrogance of thinking you can predict when a bubble will burst... Predicting the peak is divine!

Lessons from the Dot-Com Bubble: Beware the arrogance of thinking you can predict when a bubble will burst... Predicting the peak is divine!




๐Ÿ“Œ Summary

The extent to which a bubble—an extreme overvaluation in the stock market—will inflate, and when its collapse will begin, is unpredictable. Investors must abandon the arrogance of thinking they can know the end of a bubble and instead approach it from the perspective of response.


๐Ÿ“– Why it matters! (Meaning and context)

The current U.S. stock market shows historically high valuations for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices. This represents the second-highest overvaluation in history, exceeding levels just before the 1929 Great Depression but falling short of the 2000 IT bubble phase. In this environment, while major institutions like the Fed Chair and the IMF warn of a potential bubble in tech stocks, as seen in the past dot-com bubble case, warnings do not necessarily predict the exact peak. Therefore, investors must seek wise investment strategies amid the bubble debate.


๐Ÿ”ฅ Key Takeaways

1️⃣ Predicting the peak of a stock market bubble is impossible

  • While it's possible to judge whether the stock market is overvalued, knowing the exact peak of stock prices is impossible.
  • There is no way to predict how far a bubble will inflate before it bursts.

2️⃣ The gap between warnings and the collapse in the past dot-com bubble case

  • After former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's December 1996 warning of ‘irrational exuberance’, the actual bubble burst began 4 years and 3 months later in March 2000.
  • Following the warning, the Nasdaq index rose an additional 294% to its peak.
  • This demonstrates that a warning about the potential for a bubble formation does not equate to predicting whether the market will peak.

3️⃣ Contrasting yet shared investment approaches to bubbles by two investment legends

  • George Soros: An attitude of leveraging bubbles. Focuses on ‘price’ over ‘value’, following market trends to invest and exit at the opportune moment.
  • Charlie Munger: An attitude of avoiding bubbles. An agnostic approach acknowledging the difficulty of valuationjudgments and avoiding investment in areas where one lacks an edge (overvalued assets).
  • Commonality: The recognition that one should not assume they can know the end of a bubble.

4️⃣ The Need to Approach Bubble-Suspect Markets as an Area of Response

  • Since it is impossible to know the scale of a bubble or the timing of its collapse, markets suspected of being in a bubble should be approached not as an area of ‘prediction’ but of ‘response’.
  • We must remember that the deep corrections in the U.S. stock market over the past decade were triggered by rising long-term Treasury yields.


๐Ÿ” In summary

Stock market bubbles, representing overvalued conditions, are fundamentally unpredictable. While the current U.S. stock market is mired in bubble debates amid historically high valuations, history shows—as with the dot-com bubble—that markets can rise far longer and higher than expected even after warnings from major institutions like the Fed. Investment masters also guarded against the arrogance of believing they could predict a bubble's end. They adopted their own strategies: riding trends like George Soros or avoiding overvalued assets like Charlie Munger. Ultimately, investing is less about predicting a bubble's end and more about responding to market conditions under one's own responsibility. Particularly, monitoring the movement of long-term Treasury yields can help identify the trigger for market corrections.


๐Ÿ’ฐ Investment Advice

  • U.S. Stock Market and Tech Stocks: Recognize that current valuations are high. Rather than trying to predict the end of the bubble, it's crucial to approach from a response perspective. Even when riding trends, establish a planto exit at an appropriate time, or consider a strategy focused on assets with fair value that you understand and can gain an edge on.
  • U.S. Treasuries: The upward movement in long-term Treasury yields could serve as a trigger for a U.S. stock market correction, necessitating close monitoring of interest rate movements. While the current trend of interest rates stabilizing downward may still be favorable for the stock market, prepare for volatility.
