Are we living on a Stock Market bubble?


The stock market has faced some of the more severe crisis on its history, recently the speculations about the current economical situation of the United States has started the bubble speculations again. Some rumors about new regulations coming from the biggest credit card companies have raided the markets the latest weeks, also the facts of an every day more struggling American economy seem to strength the rumors of crisis or even economical depression. Now think again is it just a rumor the economical situation going on the world markets?

We have seen stocks flying high while some of the top indexes find serious difficulties to bring any profit to its supporters. Oil prices for example, are well overpriced now and markets are so sensitive now to any disturbing news that any bomb exploding near an Oil productive zone will push prices one or two dollars up and even more in some special cases, we are not telling that this is not the proper way for the markets to react but we certainly feel that the fear of the investors at any given moment when financial news are not sweet enough to calm down their minds this moves right into the already stressed markets of the globe, so we see daily to some bad news turning into potential economical disasters.

Let's not forget also that an stressed or depressed market is also an easy target for rumors and forged bad news telling half trues, all this looking to move the market waves into the direction expected to favor obscure interests in the world.

Take as example the Asian stock markets that have seen China stocks to fly over the fence and keep going for higher levels and more, and when we see this happening we start to wonder if such fast and furious rides are just bubble bursts or the start of a new economical era to our world.
