Are We in a Market Bubble? Separating Hype From Reality

Talk of a market bubble is everywhere — but how do you separate hype from fundamentals? In this episode of the Mind Over Money podcast, Brian and Blake define what makes a market bubble and ask the big question: Are we in one right now? They compare today’s market to past manias, from the 1999 dot-com boom to the Dutch tulip frenzy and the railroad expansion. Brian shares lessons from 40+ years of watching cycles unfold, including the warning signs and repeatable narratives investors should know. They also break down the current backdrop for stocks, gold, and silver, and offer portfolio positioning ideas built to handle a range of market environments — surprises included.
