Predicting the Next Great Bubble

The author obviously has a problem understanding a lot of things about markets, trends and especially bubbles. What he is describing are trends that may lead to certain good end results and if they do they can lead to markets for those products and companies moving higher than the rest of the markets. He has identified trends that can generally be followed with success and has properly warned that timing is still everything.

However, to refer to the tops of these trends and markets as bubbles is wrong. Bubbes are artificially created, pushing extreme tops that can only fall because they are not real. Bubbles bursting are not caused by trends reversing or being replaced. Bubbles are the Greensapn housing bubble or the tech bubble, where reality went out the window, and so they burst when reality set in again. Buying into bubbles is a sure way to lose, but following real trends can be very profitable.
