	The Costs of the Stock Market Bubble, by Dean Baker, CEPR, Nov. 2000
		It is also likely that a stock market correction will lead to a sea of litigation as investors try to recover some of their losses from corporations that provided misleading information or brokers who gave bad advice.
		It is possible that in aggregate, stock market induced consumption may have a significant negative impact on the purchasing power of the rest of the population in the areas outside of housing, but it would be difficult to try to measure this effect.
		In each case, it is assumed that the stock market in subsequent years rises at the same rate as corporate profits, which is assumed to be equal to the growth of the economy.

	Stock market bubble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stock market bubble is a type of economic bubble taking place in stock markets, in which a wave of public enthusiasm, evolving into herd behavior, causes an exaggerated bull market.
		Stock market bubbles are inconsistent with the "Efficient Markets Hypothesis," which makes their existence a matter of some debate.
		Some of the first documented economic bubbles were the South Sea bubble in England in the 1700s and the Tulip bulb bubble in Holland in the 1600s.

	FRB:Speech, Bernanke--Monetary policy and the stock market--October 2, 2003
		Although a stock price multiplier of about five for unanticipated changes in the federal funds rate is certainly not negligible, we should appreciate that unexpected changes in monetary policy account for a tiny portion of the overall variability of the stock market.
		For example, we investigated whether the magnitude of the effect on the stock market of a surprise policy tightening (that is, an increase in interest rates) differs from that of a surprise easing of comparable size.
		The stock market multiplier associated with unanticipated policy moves that are perceived to be more permanent is a bit higher, as would be expected; its value is about 6.

	Stock Market Bubble
		While the stock market does make an important contribution to capital accumulation and the production of wealth, it is far from an unlimited one, and its contribution is not enlarged by hordes of essentially ignorant people dabbling in it on the basis of tips and hunches.
		The application to the stock market is that the market will stop rising as soon as the Federal Reserve becomes sufficiently alarmed about the inflationary flooding of the economy as a whole that emanates from the stock market bathtub so to speak.
		The extent to which the rate of increase in the stock market in the last several years is unsustainable without the accompaniment of rapidly rising prices can be inferred by estimating the long-term sustainable rate of increase in the production and supply of goods and services from year to year.

	Institutional Failure, Foreign Issuers, and the Stock Market Bubble of 2000.
		Although there are many variations on stock option plans, a typical plan gives an executive the right to buy stocks from the company at at fixed price and to resell these stock within the next ten years, at a time of his or her choosing.
		Corporations were buying back their own stock in huge quantities, while individuals, on balance, were selling stocks, with about two-thirds of the proceeds being directed towards money market funds, corporate bonds, and deposit accounts (See household flow analysis).
		It was the sudden increase in net sales by individuals, mainly exercising stock options, at a time when buybacks by domestic companies were neutralized by new issues by foreign corporations, that popped the Great Bubble and crashed the stock market in 2000.

	Case Study: Applied Capital Flow Analysis: the US Stock Market Bubble (1990-2000)
		From this we conclude that the primary reason for the long up trend in stock prices during the 1980s and 1990s was that domestic corporations were intent on repurchasing and canceling their own stock while open-end mutual funds were also buying equities regardless of price.
		What caused the market crash of 2000-2001 had nothing to do with a decline in investor confidence in common stocks or an awakening among corporate executives, fund managers, or the SEC as to the unfairness of buybacks.
		In 1996, the bull market raged on, with the SandP 500 index increasing another twenty percent, with further erosion of fundamentals.

	AEI - Short Publications
		A close look at the role of governments in markets during the last half of the 1990s suggests that the Fed's role in creating preconditions for a stock market bubble was, at most, peripheral and that the Fed did undertake to cool an overheating economy in 1999.
		While 1999 was the exhilarating bubble year for the U.S. and other global financial markets, the year 2000 saw the start of a period when the bubble became self-correcting as the underlying conditions supporting it melted away.
		The steep drop in the stock market was accompanied by an abrupt slowdown in United States economic growth driven largely by an inventory sell-off and continued falling investment spending.

	Greenspan Defends His Policy Toward the Late Stock Market Bubble: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal
		There is a principal about asset market bubbles: a policymaking authority like the Federal Reserve can never be sure enough that an asset market rise is a bubble in order for it to take steps to pop it.
		After he first raised the issue of whether the stock market was overvalued in his "irrational exuberance" speech in late 1996, Mr.
		Greenspan said the actual amount of stocks that are purchased on margin -- meaning the investor uses a percentage of the stock's value as collateral for a loan to buy the stock -- is very small relative to overall stock-market activity.

	Reactions to stock carnage: "The bubble has burst" - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I think that intuitively people knew that the market was artificially propped up, but everyone has been making so much money in the market in the last two or three years, so no one wanted the music to stop and it kind of took on a life of its own.
		The stock market needs to be sobered up a bit -- sure, some of the stocks were overvalued, there wasn't a ton of rationality in some of these investments.
		But some stocks are totally rational bets, and some market leaders are extremely valuable companies that will only get more valuable in the next 20 years as they move into a truly global integrated economy.

	Five years after stock market bubble, exuberance still lingering (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Investors began 2000 having enjoyed four years of amazing stock market gains, fueled by the rise of the Internet and explosive growth in a variety of technologies.
		For many, the bubble illustrated what happens when you hold on to stocks for too long, ignoring sound investment decisions in favor of what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously called "irrational exuberance" -- and that term was coined back in 1996.
		But because the club had reduced its exposure to risky stocks, "when the bubble broke, we lost some like everyone else, but we weren't as vulnerable as we could have been," he said.

	Is the Current Stock Market "A Bubble?"
		Yet Greenspan referred to the stock market as "a bubble" in a prepared speech when the Dow was about 6000.

	The stock market bubble and Mr Greenspan
		Faced with the criticism that he should have been aware that a financial bubble was in process—at least from the time he made his famous statement about the “irrational exuberance” in December 1996—Greenspan sought to justify his actions at this year’s annual financial symposium held in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, at the end of August.
		His comments amount to an admission that those in charge of the “free market” are powerless in the face of economic and financial processes that have wiped out the life savings and destroyed the retirement plans of millions of people.
		It is estimated that of the stock market gains between 1989 and 1997, around 86 percent went to the top 10 percent of households, while just over 42 percent went to the top 1 percent.

	Stock Market Cycle - Bubble in Bull Markets
		When the bubble is inflated, bull markets tend to slow down a little which is what known as market correction.

		They will buy the stock as long as the value is lower that the highest P/E. For example, if the P/E of stock ABC is 50 whereas the P/E of company XYZ is 40, the speculators would believe that company DEF is offering cheaper valuation.
