If Everyone Sees It, Is It Still A Bubble?

As Mark Hulbert noted recently, “everyone” is worrying about a “bubble” in the stock market. To wit:. “To appreciate how widespread current concern about a bubble is, consider the accompanying chart of data from Google Trends. It plots the relative frequency of Google searches based on the term ‘stock market bubble.’ Notice that this frequency has recently jumped to a far-higher level than at any other point over the last five years.”“My confidence is rising quite rapidly that this is, in fact,

Rather, the price does not align with thefundamentals of the asset.\n “\n</blockquote>\nThis definition is suitable for our discussion; there are three components of a&nbsp;“bubble.”The&nbsp;first two, price and valuation,&nbsp;are readily dismissed during the inflation phase.&nbsp;Jeremy Grantham once produced the following chart of 40-years of price bubbles in the markets. During the inflation phase, each was readily dismissed under the guise&nbsp;“this time is different.”\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/367ada4ec5d5a7c35f8e670e0224fc6b\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"342\">\nWe are interested in the“third”&nbsp;component of“bubbles,”&nbsp;which is investor psychology.\nA Bubble In Psychology\nAs&nbsp;Howard Marks previously noted:\n<blockquote>\n “It’s the swings of psychology that get people into the biggest trouble. Especially since investors’ emotions invariably swing in the wrong direction at the wrong time.\n When things are going well people become greedy and enthusiastic. When times are troubled, people become fearful and reticent. That’s just the wrong thing to do. It’s important to control fear and greed.”\n</blockquote>\nCurrently, it’s difficult for investors to become any more enthusiastic about market returns.&nbsp;(The RIAPro Fear/Greed Index&nbsp;compiles measures of equity allocation and market sentiment. The index level isnot a component&nbsp;of the measure that runs from 0 to 100.The current reading is 99.9, which is a historical record.)\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/137bb4e88e92ca8b22df63ffc61e387c\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"334\">\nSuch is an interesting juxtaposition. On the one hand, there is a rising recognition of a&nbsp;“bubble,”&nbsp;but investors are unwilling to reduce “equity risk” for&nbsp;“fear of missing out or F.O.M.O.”Such was a point noted explicitly by Mark:\n<blockquote>\n “Rather than responding by taking some chips off the table, however, many began freely admitting a bubble formed.\n &nbsp;They no longer tried to justify higher prices on fundamentals. Rather,\n they justified it instead in terms of the market’s momentum.\n &nbsp;Prices should keep going up as FOMO seduces more investors to jump on the bandwagon.”\n</blockquote>\nIn other words, investors have fully adopted the&nbsp;“Greater Fool Theory.”\nOkay, Boomer!\nI know. The discussion of&nbsp;“valuations”&nbsp;is an old-fashioned idea relegated to investors of an older era. Such was evident in the pushback on Charlie Munger’s comments about Bitcoin recently:\n<blockquote>\n “\n While Munger has never been a bitcoin advocate, his dislike crystalized into something close to hatred.\n Looking back over the past 52 weeks, the reason for Munger’s anger becomes apparent with Berkshire rising only 50.5% against bitcoin’s more than 500% gain.”&nbsp;– Coindesk\n</blockquote>\nIn 1999, when Buffett spoke out against&nbsp;“Dot.com”&nbsp;stocks, he got dismissed with a similar ire of&nbsp;“investing with Warren Buffett is like driving ‘Dad’s old Pontiac.'”\nToday, young investors are not interested in the&nbsp;“pearls of wisdom”&nbsp;from experienced investors. Today, they are&nbsp;“out of touch,”&nbsp;with the market’s&nbsp;“new reality.”\n<blockquote>\n “The big benefit of TikTok is it allows users to dole out and obtain information in short, easily digestible video bites, also called TikToks.\n &nbsp;And that can make unfamiliar, complex topics, such as personal finance and investing, more palatable to a younger audience.That advice runs the gamut, from general information about home buying or retirement savings to specific stock picks and investment ideas.\n Rob Shields, a 22-year-old, self-taught options trader who has more than 163,000 followers on TikTok, posts TikToks under the username stock_genius on topics such as popular stocks to watch, how to find good stocks, and basic trading strategies.” –&nbsp;WSJ:\n</blockquote>\nOf course, the problem with information doled out by 22-year olds is they were 10-year olds during the last“bear market.”Given the lack of experience of investing during such a market, as opposed to Warren Buffett who has survived several, is the eventual destruction of capital.\nPlenty Of Analogies\n<blockquote>\n “There is no shortage of current analogies, of course. Take Dogecoin, created as a joke with no fundamental value.\n &nbsp;As a&nbsp;recent Wall Street Journal article outlined, the Dogecoin ‘serves no purpose and, unlike Bitcoin, faces no limit on the number of coins that exist.’\n Yet investors flock to it, for no other apparent reason than its sharp rise.\n &nbsp;Billy Markus, the co-creator of dogecoin, said to the Wall Street Journal, ‘This is absurd. I haven’t seen anything like it. It’s one of those things that once it starts going up, it might keep going up.’” – Mark Hulbert\n</blockquote>\nThat exuberance shows up with professionals as well.&nbsp;As of the end of April, the National Association Of Investment Managers asset allocation was 103%.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c412f208aa700b3f7ccb35d3b7d4e923\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"328\">\nAs Dana Lyons noted previously:\n<blockquote>\n “\n Regardless of the investment acumen of any group (we think it is very high among NAAIM members),\n once the collective investment opinion or posture becomes too one-sided, it can be an indication that some market action may be necessary to correct such consensus.\n “\n</blockquote>\nGive Me More\nOf course, margin debt, which is the epitome of “speculative appetite,”&nbsp;soared in recent months.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e11b088ecdf04d5036b4f5bb2d67c13d\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\">\nAs stated,&nbsp;“bubbles are about psychology,”&nbsp;which the annual rate of change of leverage shows.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/422c963018723e8986826a89a32883e5\" tg-width=\"500\" tg-height=\"327\">\nAnother form of leverage that doesn’t show up in margin debt is ETF’s structured to multiply market returns.

Anything from economic disruption, a credit-related crisis, or an unexpected exogenous shock could start the&nbsp;“panic for the exits.”\nConclusion\nThere is more than adequate evidence a&nbsp;“bubble”&nbsp;exists in markets once again. However, as Mark noted in his commentary:\n<blockquote>\n ‘I have no idea whether the stock market is actually forming a bubble that’s about to break.\n But I do know that many bulls are fooling themselves when they think a bubble can’t happen when there is such widespread concern. In fact, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a bubble is just that.”\n</blockquote>\nHowever, he concludes with the most important statement:\n<blockquote>\n “It’s important for all of us to be aware of this bubble psychology,\n but especially if you’re a retiree or a near-retiree. That’s because, in that case, your investment horizon is far shorter than for those who are younger.\n Therefore, you are less able to recover from the deflation of a market bubble.”\n</blockquote>\nRead that statement again.\nMillennials are quick to dismiss the&nbsp;“Boomers”&nbsp;in the financial markets today for&nbsp;“not getting it.”\nNo, we get it.
