Stock Market Bubble
A
stock market bubble
is a type of
economic bubble
in which an exaggerated
bull market
where the value of
stocks
listed on a
stock exchange
rise dramatically upon a wave of
public
enthusiasm. The
dot-com
boom of the late
1990s
is one example. The
biotech
boom in the
1980s
is another. Still other examples of stock market bubbles include Japanese stocks in the late-1980s,
Nifty 50
stocks in the early 1970s, and
Taiwanese
stocks in 1987. A stock market bubble may set the stage for a later
stock market crash
, continuing our example, the
Stock Market Crash of 2002
.
