Having lived through a couple big market busts over the past 30 years, it's interesting to see that almost all of them were caused by a loosening of standards.

e.g.

- DotCom boom was letting companies IPO even if they had no revenue

- Great Recession was due to loosening credit restrictions for mortgages e.g. giving people NINJA (no income, no job) loans

so very curious to see how this plays out.

Caused by, or is it more like the rules were changed to postpone an already inevitable bust?
