The different stage of Web Bubble

 

Bubbles always burst. It is just a question of when, and who gets hurt when they do burst.

  1. The first stage of a bubble is when most smart money declares we are NOT in a bubble…it is different this time.
  2. The second stage is more dangerous. Many people agree that we are in a bubble, but it will last another year or two, and there is still money to be made.
  3. The third stage is when the bubble has burst but most people are in denial and think it is a temporary set back.
  4. The fourth stage is when everyone agrees the bubble has burst and life will never be the same.
