Not the same. Two big reasons. First, traders aren't highly leveraged. When it actually comes to buy product, you got to pay with cash. Second, the RL examples you give were over considerable periods of time. Tulipmania lasted a couple of years. The housing market jumped from shortly after September 11, 2001 to some point in 2006 through 2008, depending on location.
The current speculation is short term, everyone knows more production can come online reducing price modestly over the long term. A better RL example is market panics. Nobody expects the stock market to stay down for more than a few months or years. Neither do they want to be holding the bag at the end of the day. So you can have herdlike behavior worsened by exhaustion of capital for arbitrage and other things that traditionally help keep markets liquid.

Thinking about it, I just don't see a bubble worth the name at this time. There's too much smart money in the market and alchemy provides some options that I think help calm the dyspro/prom markets.

Which means that the "good doctor" has either no concept how things work in game, has lousy long range forcast abilities, is not listened too, is not influence on these changes that might of already been in action prior to his arrival, or some combination of all of the above.
I thought every economist had those features installed by default.

The tulip needs grow a lot more before I get excited. Little idea on whether T3 helps or hinders. More dyspro and prom moons, but more long term customers for T2 too. And T3 might suck up a lot of these moon minerals as well.
