The Market
Crash being a switch from a period of Irrational
Exuberance to a period of Deep Depression I decided to
try to draw a parallel between a collective bipolar disorder in order
to predict the occurrence of a Market Crash, the stage of the
switch between a maniac state to a depressive state.
Let's look first at the definition of a bipolar disorder.
As any psychiatrist knows a bipolar, although he knows exactly when heis a depressive state he is the last to know when he is in a manic state.
We have to detect what are the symptoms which lead to the switch between that manic state to depression.
But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions as they have in Japan over the past decade? And how do we factor that assessment into monetary policy? We as central bankers need not be concerned if a collapsing financial asset bubble does not threaten to impair the real economy, its production, jobs, and price stability. Indeed, the sharp stock market break of 1987 had few negative consequences for the economy. But we should not underestimate or become complacent about the complexity of the interactions of asset markets and the economy. Thus, evaluating shifts in balance sheets generally, and in asset prices particularly, must be an integral part of the development of monetary policy.

Financial crises are characterised by discontinuous breaks in market pricing the timing of which by definition must be unanticipated - if people see them coming, then the markets arbitrage them away.

In order to detect a collective pattern I have tried different Google Trends on several themes that are common to people who are in that state. I couldn't find something that would be meaningful enough. Till I asked the Doctors. The first fact that tells a Doctor that a patienti s switching is the fact that he start to feed himself again. I tried a Google Trend on Food and I found my leading indicator.
In one of the greatest investment markets in the world, namely, New York, the influence of speculation (in the above sense) is enormous. Even outside the field of finance, Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be; and this national weakness finds its nemesis in the stock market. But the essential issue here is one of insurance, with a relatively modest premium, against a potentially catastrophic, very low probability event.
