Robert Shiller, Market Boom “Can’t Be Trusted”

The strength of the recovery in the housing market has surprised a lot of people, including Yale Professor Robert Shiller.”This is historic,” Shiller says of the recent snapback in the Case-Shiller Index. “It’s V-shaped. We’ve never seen it before. That makes it hard to know from statistical basis what it portends.”Are we on track for a repeat of irrational exuberance?With the stock market up more than 50% since March and the Standard & Poor’s Case/Shiller Index on the rise for the last three months, it’s a worry, says Yale Professor Robert Shiller. “Somehow we got into this really speculative mentality and I don’t think we’re out of it yet.”
