Back in 1996, Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan famously said:
"How do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions?"
It was a prophetic question, as the stock market soon after became caught up in the mania of the DotCom bubble, reaching unprecedented levels of overvaluation followed by a precipitous price correction. The Nasdaq didn't return to its 2000 highs until 15 years later.
Many are feeling like it's deja vu all over again with the latest run-up in the small number of stocks, colloquially known as the Magnificent 7, driving the market indices to new record highs.
Are we in a new era of irrational exuberance, this time driven by the promise of artificial intelligence?
And if so, what's the danger this time of another prolonged contraction ensuing?
