What we define as a bubble is any kind of debt-fueled asset inflation where the cash flow generated by the asset itself - a rental property, office building, condo - does not cover the debt incurred to buy the asset.

Imagine you're copying a very long document, and occasionally you'll put an A where there should be a C.

So the longer the lineage has been in existence, the more mistakes the sequence is going to have.
