It must be 1926. We have a prosperous decade leading up to a market inflated by stock market speculation, stock prices that are unlikely to match anticipated future earnings, the fed increasing interest rates to curb spending which is impacting construction investment, the overproduction of certain commodities, reduction in foreign trade and lending, and retaliatory tariffs and protectionist policies going into effect.
Oh wait, it’s 100 years later and it just rhymes with the lead up to the Great Depression? Cool.
Ah, like a once-in-a-century financial event… Say, when’s the last time we had one of those?
This would be closer to a once in a nations history sort of event not a once in a life time.
A sudden hard pop that crashes everything at this scale is the sorta thing that drags nations down with it.
We want closer to a drawn hard crash and deflation where the bubble only drags the companies involved down and not the rest of us
I seem to recall a very large financial bubble associated with a period of time called the “twenties.” Something about “roaring.”
On another topic entirely, remind me which decade we’re in now, please?

You left out the retail investors thinking margin is a great way to amplify gains with no real risk…
