Mark Cuban’s blog post Why This Tech Bubble is Worse Than the Tech Bubble of 2000 is definitely worth 5 minutes of your time.

It is now evident that most market pundits out there are dismissing Mark’s view. And while Mark talks about Angel Investors and illiquidity in that market, his analysis can just as easily be applied to today’s stock market. More about that in a second.

First, here is what most people don’t realize about Mark Cuban. After selling his first business Mark became a heck of a trader and investor in the 1990’s. His returns were so good at the time that Goldman Sachs tried to bring him in order to figure out what he was doing. This same ability helped him unload Broadcast.com for $5.7 Billion to Yahoo right at the top of the tech bubble.

I have absolutely not doubt in my mind that most of these individual Angels and crowd funders are currently under water in their investments. Absolutely none. I say most. The percentage could be higher. Why? Because there is ZERO liquidity for any of those investments. None. Zero. Zip.

So why is this bubble far worse than the tech bubble of 2000 ?

Because the only thing worse than a market with collapsing valuations is a market with no valuations and no liquidity. If stock in a company is worth what somebody will pay for it, what is the stock of a company worth when there is no place to sell it ?

We often talk about the stock market, but we rarely look at this side of the equation. Mark is absolutely right. If you are an Angel Investors, good luck getting your money out. Especially when today’s Silicon Valley’s bubble bursts. Plus, the chances of hitting a good exit in tech are about as good as winning a lottery.

What’s more, the bubble Mark Cuban has identified in the tech industry is the same bubble I see in the stock market. The drivers behind both are the same. The only difference is the amount of liquidity available.

Finally, let me ask you the following question. Who would you rather listen to….a shrewd billionaire investor or some yahoo on CNBC who is predicting the Dow 20K? The choise, as always, is yours.

This conclusion is further supported by my mathematical and timing work. It clearly shows a severe bear market between 2014/15-2017. In fact, when it starts it will very quickly retrace most of the gains accrued over the last few years.
