Full Show Notes:

Are We in a Super Bubble?

According to Jeremy Grantham from GMO, 2022 might be the year the bubble constantly talked about since mid-2020 finally pops. He believes that 2021 was defined by a standard bubble that only resulted in a somewhat routine pain for the economy. However, the consistent rise in the market and no signs of the bubble ever bursting means that now the bubble has advanced to the category of superbubble. So, what is a super bubble? Simply put, a super bubble is an extreme bubble ready to burst. According to Grantham, the effects of a super bubble burst would be more epic than the dot-com bubble crash in 2000, the 1989 Japanese stock and housing markets crash, or the US housing-led crash in 2007. So, the question now is, are we truly in a super bubble? And if we are, what can you as an investor do to cushion your portfolio or take advantage of the opportunities that may arise if the bubble were to burst. 

 

The Stock Market Vampire

In his January 2022 publication, Jeremy Grantham describes the current stock market as being in the vampire phase. Just like a vampire, nothing seems to kill the ever-rising trend in the stock market. For example, the end of QE and the promise of higher rates was not that much of a big deal to the stock market. COVID came, scared the spirits out of everyone, and still the “vampire” lives on. If Covid couldn’t halt the stock market rise, most people assumed nothing will; it’s completely immortal. However, Jeremy Grantham now believes that the vampire is about to die due to a number of reasons, such as speculative investor frenzy and inflation. He believes that the long-phased bull market is now coming to an end, that the super bubble will eventually burst, and investors should take caution when investing in the days to come.
