I shared my thoughts on the markets, opportunities and where we need to be cautious.

Bubbles are created by something new
A bubble, much like a crash, is more a state of mind than a quantitative calculation. While some may define it as a period of extraordinary high prices, I believe that’s insufficient. A real bubble is more than just a financial miscalculation, where people make the mistake of overpaying for something. It goes beyond that to a psychological extreme. It’s a mania where people’s psyche gets engaged, their interest in something becomes excessive, and they lose their reason.
A bubble usually surrounds something new. The newness is very important because it gets people excited, and it defies precedent. This pattern is observable throughout history. For instance, the 1630s craze in Holland was over recently introduced tulips, and then the South Sea Bubble of 1720 in England was fueled by enthusiasm for new trade opportunities.

How to remember what you read
Even if the subject matter of the book is not particularly dense or complex, try to give it your undivided attention so your brain can better form connections. This means getting rid of distractions: no email, no notifications. Turn off your phone and leave it in another room. If you can create that dedicated space in your schedule, you will remember more of the books you read.
Actively engaging with the content forces you to place it in lots of different contexts, which will make it easier to recall in the future.
Also, research shows that capturing notes has lots of benefits in and for itself. One of them is to help you better remember what you read. You could write notes in the margins, on a separate note-book, on post-it notes—it doesn’t really matter, the act of adding context through these notes is what helps form new pathways in the brain and store the information better in your long-term memory.
Once you’re done reading the book, take a few minutes to write a short summary, including the main ideas.
