About TheBubbleBubble.com

TheBubbleBubble.com was created by Jesse Colombo for the purpose of exposing the “CCC Aches” economic bubbles and warning of their ability to severely damage and destabilize the global economy. “CCC Aches” is an acronym that Jesse coined for “China, Commodities, Canada, Australia, College, Healthcare, Emerging markets and Social media,” all of which are large and growing bubbles that arose in the 2000s that very few people recognize as bubbles.

All of the “CCC Aches” bubbles are viewed by mainstream analysts and commentators as legitimate “engines of economic growth” and not the highly-threatening bubbles that they have truly become. In this regard, the “CCC Aches” bubbles share a common ground with the Dot-com Bubble and US Housing Bubble, which were both viewed as legitimate economic growth booms right up until their violent implosions.

TheBubbleBubble.com is an outgrowth of the popular Twitter blog, “TheBubbleBubble,” started by Jesse in June 2011 that quickly attracted over 23,000 followers, including journalists from Bloomberg and the Financial Times, hedge fund managers, economists, educators, think tanks and political activists. TheBubbleBubble Twitter blog and TheBubbleBubble.com are the only resources that specialize in economic bubble-related news and information, especially pertaining to the massive but little-known bubbles in US higher education, student loans and US healthcare.

About Jesse Colombo

Jesse has a successful history as a bubble and financial crisis prognosticator, having started the popular website “Stock Market Crash!” (stock-market-crash.net) in early 2004 for the specific purpose of warning about the then little-known US housing and banking bubble and how it would lead to a catastrophic financial crash. Stock Market Crash! was one of a very small handful of websites devoted to the housing and banking bubble topic during that time and was featured in a 2005 LA Times article for this reason. The 2007-to-Present crisis that Jesse warned of unfolded almost exactly as he had described several years earlier, helping to draw well over 2 million unique visitors to the website and resulted in The Times of London calling him one of “The Ten People Who Predicted the Meltdown,” along with economists Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Roach. Though the Stock Market Crash! website has been retired, the site’s original 2004 housing bubble & market crash predictions are viewable via the Wayback Machine web archives. Now, eight years later and far more experienced, Jesse is warning about bubbles again – a whopping new crop of eight this time. Jesse sincerely hopes he is wrong this time around.

Jesse’s background in finance started when he was a precocious 15-year old who used his life savings to buy his first stock, Bradley Pharmaceuticals, just a few days after the September 11th 2001 attacks after spending the summer vacation researching and following it. Within just a few months, Jesse doubled his money, sold the stock and was hooked on investing and finance ever since. Jesse spent the rest of high school reading every finance and economics book he could find, trading stocks, options and currencies and, though a very good student, getting into trouble for sneaking out of class to place trades on the school library’s computers. After graduating from high school one year early, Jesse used the extra time to continue studying finance, trade and build Stock Market Crash! before attending college.

Focusing on finance and accounting, Jesse earned a Bachelor’s degree, cum laude, from State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2008, ironically graduating straight into the economic crisis that he foresaw several years earlier. Jesse is currently employed as a private investor, web entrepreneur and occasional business consultant.

One of Jesse’s significant long-term goals is to form an investment trust that operates on Warren Buffett-style value investing principles for the purpose of taking key positions in bargain-priced stock shares and businesses during the more intense phases of the coming economic crisis that he foresees. Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett’s mentor, made his fortune during the Great Depression by operating an investment trust that purchased shares of quality companies that were selling at rock-bottom prices, which proceeded to dramatically rise in price as the economy recovered from the Depression.
