Stock market bubble

A stock market bubble is a type of economic bubble taking place in stock markets, in which a wave of public enthusiasm, evolving into herd behavior, causes an exaggerated bull market . When such a bubble takes place, market prices rise dramatically, making the listed stocks significantly overvalued. Generally stock market bubbles are followed by stock market crashes.
