Investor compares Buffett Indicator spike and trade deal euphoria to dot com bubble before 2000 collapse

by

TLDR:

  • The dot-com era saw explosive stock gains from 1995 to 1999, with almost everything going up

  • Examples like CYBR and JDSU skyrocketed despite weak fundamentals

  • The crash began on March 24, 2000, and $QQQ didn’t recover its ATH until 2014

  • The user kept buying the dip and dollar-cost averaging, which led to major losses

  • Markets can stay irrational far longer than expected before reality hits

  • Today’s market mirrors dot-com herd behavior, just with new players and headlines

  • Buffett Indicator hit 216% of GDP, higher than dot-com’s 163%

  • Trump’s tariff policy triggered volatility, but trade deals are being spun as economic miracles

  • Financial media hype is back, just with a new narrative

  • Lesson: take profits, don’t get greedy, and remember Buffett’s long-game wisdom
