There's Still Time to Buy!

A prognosticator says every asset class in every country is swelling in a giant bubble. Everything is going to pop everywhere. But don't worry, there's still time for us all to get rich before it happens.
But here's the kicker: Even Grantham thinks you probably need to be bullish right now. The reason? Most bubbles, he notes, go through a short but dramatic "exponential phase" just before they burst. Like Japan in 1989 or the Internet in early 2000.

"My colleagues," wrote Grantham, "suggest that this global bubble has not yet had this phase and perhaps they are right. ... In which case, pessimists or conservatives will take considerably more pain."
Well, this pessimist has had enough pain. I'm all in!
