Market Bubbles

For just about as long as I can remember, I have been interested in stock markets and investments

So as part of my investor education, I have decided to do a little research into market bubbles. What causes them, where do they come from, what happens - those kinds of things

I have created a series of presentations on Bubbles which I would like to share with anybody who may be interested - I have also created a dedicated blog for Bubbles specifically - you can find it here: http://bubblespotting.blogspot.com/
