As the saying goes, economists have predicted 7 of the last 3 recessions. Same applies to bubbles I think.

Bubbles are easy to identify, bursting points are not.

There is no such thing. Just like “it’s different this time” economic booms.

The best result of a bubble is either a gradual deflation (prick it and let the air out slowly), or keep it from popping until demand can catch up.
