The Rise and Fall of the Nikkei Bubble
In the late 1980s, Japan experienced an economic miracle with the Nicay stock index reaching an astonishing peak of nearly 39,000 points. This meteoric rise was fueled by speculative investment with individuals and institutions pouring money into stocks, often driven by fear of missing out. However, this bubble burst in 1990, leading to a devastating crash that wiped out over half of the index’s value. A sobering lesson. Emotional trading can lead investors astray, turning euphoria into despair. Today, as markets surge and volatile trends arise, the Nikke’s legacy urges us to invest wisely, viewing market fluctuations through a lens of caution rather than greed.
Explore the explosive rise and dramatic fall of Japan’s Nikkei stock market during the late 1980s and the crucial lessons that resonate today.
