Hooked on the Bubble Cycle
May 3, 2008
Fascinating article over on Harpers, The next bubble: Priming the markets for tomorrows big crash. Reading to the end of the article, this paragraph really stood out…
That the Internet and housing hyperinflations transpired within a period of ten years, each creating trillions of dollars in fake wealth, is, I believe, only the beginning. There will and must be many more such booms, for without them the economy of the United States can no longer function. The bubble cycle has replaced the business cycle. (emphasis is mine)
This article was written in February 2008 and makes a cogent and rational argument that is wrapped up at the end showing how Alternative Energy could be the next bubble. The point to remember is this, forget about the business cycle, watch the bubble cycle and plan your business strategy to leverage growth of the new bubble - alternative energy.
Stagflation A Reality
Stagflation Defined: A period of time characterized by high inflation and recessionary conditions.
I live in Edmonton, Alberta and we are experiencing stagflation already here in Alberta. Housing value on our home grew 100% in three years. The tar sands, the second largest deposit of oil is just north or us in Ft. Mcmurray which has been fueling growth here for decades.
We will need to control our spending, reinvent our business models, and go after new sources of income from the innovators of new “bubble”.
The New Bubble: Watch for the Declining Market in Iraq
A sign that the alternative energy bubble is upon us will be marked by a decline in the Iraq market.
In a hyperinflation, infrastructure upgrades will accelerate, with plenty of opportunity for big government contractors fleeing the declining market in Iraq. Thus, we can expect to see the creation of another $8 trillion in fictitious value, which gives us an estimate of $20 trillion in speculative wealth, money that inevitably will be employed to increase share prices rather than to deliver “energy security.” When the bubble finally bursts, we will be left to mop up after yet another devastated industry. FIRE, [The new economy belonged to finance, insurance, and real estate—FIRE.] meanwhile, will already be engineering its next opportunity. Given the current state of our economy, the only thing worse than a new bubble would be its absence.
Bring on the bubble!
