GAWD, DID YOU MISS A LOT!

That late '90s bit was the only real bubble I have ever seen. They're rare, lizzie. The last one was '29. They drive home lessons that last a generation or two. But then people forget and find new ways of committing the same stupid, obvious mistakes. "It's different this time." When you hear that, run for cover.

No, that wasn't "just another business cycle". That was a huge exercise of intentional blindness and stupidity- -a bubble.
