The problem is what government or non-market forces have created the bubble to expand beyond reason. I've read that inn Japan investment firms funnelled profits from individual investors accounts to those of larger customers accounts to cover losses. The Plunge Protection Team in Washington and market intervention has been well documented. What factors in a bubble make it such that intervention does not work or when is intervention no longer effective? Probably when the instability filters to the real economy from the financial markets and the time it takes to resuscitate the markets takes longer. (The Fed wasn't quite certain in November when the markets again plunged.)
