I posted his full paragraph to illustrate precisely what you did- you cut off his final sentence, which gave the impression that his definition of a bubble was the opposite of what it is. I figured this comment would suffice to embarrass even you, but then I underestimated your shamelessness or your wine:
"Who are you trying to kid? This is the sentence immediately following the selection you quoted.
"In this book, a bubble is an upward price movement over an extended range that then implodes. An extended negative bubble is a crash."
