It's just that folks expected massive returns. They have to expect smaller returns over longer periods of time

I'd say widespread overpaying due to unrealistic expectations is a pretty good definition of a bubble.

I just don't understand how it's happening again, only 10 years after an identical problem. I get that the banks are just executing an exit strategy, but how are they getting the mugs to buy into the IPO?
