As famed economist Charles Kindleberger, who researched and published extensively on the topic of bubbles, explained, a typical bubble starts with good fundamental news. But prices then decouple from fundamentals and a bubble follows, driven by speculative trading by new entrants into the market who fear missing out. Eventually, it all ends in panic selling.

Comme l’a expliqué l’économiste renommé Charles Kindleberger, qui a étudié et beaucoup publié au sujet des bulles de spéculation, un bulle typique démarre avec de bonnes nouvelles fondamentales.

Au bout d’un moment, tout cela se termine en ventes frénétiques.
