Introduction : Bubbles

The term bubble initially originated from the company South Sea Bubble in the early periods of 1711-1720. It was originally the company’s name and did not mean the crisis itself. The name bubble was given for this phenomenon as the stocks were inflated like a bubble and becomes absolute nothing once it bursts. Bubbles are believed to be very risky as it cannot be identified in its starts and leads to heavy damages when it breaks.
