Is the bubble finally about to pop? Stocks are extremely overvalued and due for a plunge. Meanwhile gold and cryptos are also going up, indicating people leaving the stock market and looking for other places to store their money. I would not be surprised to see the stock market drop 50%, we're overdue for a correction, and basically federal reserve money going to corporations who buy back their own stocks to keep prices up, is the only thing propping the stock market up at this point.

I don't think it's so much a bubble pooping, as it is Coronavirus creating an Externality. Cornoavirus is really screwing up China's market, which is largely a supply market. So, since China can't deliver all the goods it was paid for, other markets are having to deal with a shortage. Various industries, from tech to auto can expect slowdowns in production due to a lack of parts being imported. That's the main cause of the economic instability.

I agree. But what you said, and a bubble popping, aren't mutually exclusive. The bubble is in the financial sector, what you're talking about is the manufacturing sector. If manufacturing gets slowed down as you mentioned, then I believe it will impact the financial sector deeply, because it's based on the manufacturing sector. Then once the financial system has negative momentum, it can create a runaway effect, and the current US stock market is extremely overpriced. This is what could trigger the financial bubble pop, the secondary financial sector effects of the manufacturing slowdown
