But everything is OK. Really. Dubya says so.
The next bubble: Priming the markets for tomorrow's big crash
1. I will use the familiar term “bubble” as a shorthand, but note that it confuses cause with effect. A better, if ungainly, descriptor would be “asset-price hyperinflation”—the huge spike in asset prices that results from a perverse self-reinforcing belief system, a fog that clouds the judgment of all but the most aware participants in the market. Asset hyperinflation starts at a certain stage of market development under just the right conditions. The bubble is the result of that financial madness, seen only when the fog rolls away.

Don’t worry. All Dubya can see is what’s happening within 10 yards radius of him. He can recall what happened maximum a week ago. Any abstract concept is beyond him, but he can certainly understand ‘cold’ ‘hot’ ‘red’ ‘blue’ ‘bright’ ‘dark’, and the like. Well done Dubya! Good show!
