Five years removed from the last financial crisis, what's the likelihood of another one gripping the world markets?
"It's a certainty," says Former Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson. "As long as we have markets, as long as we have banks, no matter what the regulatory system is, there will be flawed government policies. Those policies will create bubbles."
Talk about a disheartening reality. Nevertheless, it's true - which means we always need to be prepared.
I began that process on
Monday. But it's time to finish the job today and reveal the specifics of the next bubble being formed.

Sure, in the short term, a fat initial yield is going to be the bigger breadwinner compared to a lower-yielding dividend growth stock.
But down the line, you'll see the dividend grower catch up and then out-pay the former. And the gap will only get wider every year after that.
It's a patient investor's strategy, but it pays off big time.
Because dividend growth is so important, increases are always a great excuse to check a company out. After all, one increase often foreshadows another.
That's why, once a month, I look back on recent dividend increases to see which companies continue to put more shoulder into their dividends. It's a good way to discover new stocks and revisit old ones.
