Little attention is devoted to the fact that bubbles can last for several years, and sometimes even decades. The main driver of both stock market bubbles and real estate bubbles is debt. Anna Schwartz, co-author with Milton Friedman of <i>A Monetary History of the United States<\/i> (1963) described the relationship to the <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB122428279231046053.html\">Wall Street Journal<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If you investigate individually the manias that the market has so dubbed over the years, in every case, it was expansive monetary policy that generated the boom in an asset. The particular asset varied from one boom to another. But the basic underlying propagator was too-easy monetary policy and too-low interest rates &#8230;..\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, there is evidence of expansive monetary policy from the Fed, but the overall impact on the financial markets is muted. Most of the QE bond purchases are being parked by banks in interest-bearing, excess reserve deposits at the Fed.
