The next big bubble to burst?

[earmuffs]

Just wondering what people might think the next big bubble will be.

IMO, it's gonna be gold and silver. I think there is a mini gold rush at the moment, everyone is investing in it but at the same time everyone is mining for it so..
I think people trust the gold and silver price far far more then they should.

Thoughts of what the next bubble to pop will be?

The white metals are outperforming gold.

That's the point.
We associate gold and silver with precious high money metals and money and shit and so when we think invest in metals the logical choice to us is gold and/or silver.
When in actual fact gold and silver are no different (market wise) then say copper.
Everything works on supply and demand, gold and silver no exception.

Thus why I think it's gonna go pop.

In the UK we have the recent company pension reforms.

Which will see people and companies diverting funds into this... to the pension companies... who then have capital to keep investing in what I think is the next bubble.

Bonds and gilts market.

The bond market?

Very unlikely.
And if it were to unfortunately happen that would be a total shit storm, the whole economy revolves around the bond market, even the stock market revolves around the bond market.
Think great depression Xbillion.

If I a brutally honest I only started learning about economics a few years ago by studying on the internet, spurred on by learning that conspiracy videos only contain half truths or dont fill in all of the blanks (dont worry I wont be posting conspiracy in here lol)

Id like to think I know a little bit, probably the very basics and thats about it.... however when I compare my knowledge base with people like you muffs.... who is studying this at university, I know I might be a teeny bit out of my depth

Partly reason why I wanted this subforum, to talk about it these things and to learn further.

Im guessing that maybe part of the problem (with regards to bonds) may be down to the low interest rates at the moment. Maybe not to the issuer but maybe the investor?
