« This Just In | Main | This is NOT Happening » June 20, 2007 Paul Krugman Four Years Ago TodayThe big rise in the stock market is definitely telling us something. Bulls think it says the economy is about to take off. But I think it's a sign that America is still blowing bubbles — that a three-year bear market and the biggest corporate scandals in history haven't cured investors of irrational exuberance yet. And. In short, the current surge in stocks looks like another bubble, one that will eventually burst. From a reader: He lied! Krugman knew there was disagreement among investment consultants as to whether the market was a bubble or for real, and he intentionally massaged the indicators, and hyped the financial intelligence to make everyone believe there was a link between the current bull market and the bubble of 2000.
