PurpleRat50( sorry I don’t know the real name but this is the nickname that is used in Richdad.com) shared an article called “The Seven Stages of a Financial Bubble” is written by Nobel Laureate Hyman Minsky (1919 – 1996). The 7 stages are:


  1. Financial Disturbance:
    • Outside Shock
    • Piece of News that Creates Disturbance
    • War, Technology, Monetary Policy
    • Dotcom started 1989 – busted 2000
  2. Expansion – Prices Start to Rise
    • Easy Credit
    • Greed
    • Huge Buyer Demand
  3. Euphoria
    • Overestimated Future Returns
    • No Concern for Fundamentals
    • Fools Rush In!
    • Pure Speculation
  4. Financial Distress – Prices Reach a Peak
    • Market Strength Becomes Fragile
    • Cheap Money Becomes Scarce
    • Insiders Take Profits
    • Greatest Fool Rushes In!
  5. Market Reversal – Prices Start to Fall
    • Love of Speculation Ends
    • Insiders Start to Exit
    • Sellers Outnumber Buyers
  6. Financial Crisis – Panic Rules the Market
    • Tightening in Bank Lending
    • Panic Feeds Panic
    • Low Prices Tempt Buyers
  7. Lender of Last Resort Comes to Rescue
    • Collapse of Confidence in Banking
    • Federal Government Steps In
    • Smart Investors Re-enter

Being an investor, I think it is important to know and sense the signal from the market. I think the list that shared here is quite good to make it as a market checklist to know the market status. Knowing when to enter and exit the market is important and will be an advance for you to make more money.
