Boom before Bust - when does the bubble burst?

Hmm, may be I didn’t put my thoughts clearly. We already have threads where the basic premise is to take some decision based on the current state of the market, like Nifty PE crosses 24|A statistically informed entry-exit model! My idea behind starting this thread was to record cliched events (like in a journal with mutliple authors) which are reminiscent of middle/late stage bull markets without making any predictions/recommendations (observe rather than act, much like meditation) based on any such event, e.g.

  • When every idle conversation leads to some discussion of the state of stock markets.
  • Your close friend whom you were preaching to buy a blue chip stock, preaches you about the latest multibagger.
  • Predictions of Nifty/Sensex 2x in 2 years, 5x in 5 years come out from known brokerages (2,00,000 by 2020? who knows?)
  • Leading daily newspapers (not the business news) start featuring financial news on the front page.
