nobody said there was a stock market bubble. but I suggest you to check few graphs on Google/Yahoo Finance.
But the market will decide that. Not us nerds.
I hope us nerds are a little bit more aware about stuff going on than Mr. Market.
That's what the word "bubble" refers to, though. If the OP didn't mean a stock market bubble, he should explain what he does mean. A "bubble" of investing? Why would it warrant the analogy of a bubble? What horrible things happen if and when VC investments don't pan out?
What people are trying to call a bubble is actually just an increase in investment by VCs, sometimes good investments, sometimes bad, and sometimes there are overvaluations.
But if you think we're in a bubble, you either don't remember the real bubble of 1999 or you misunderstood what the problem was.

Considering the deep trough we just came out of, it makes sense that we see a stock market uptick. Moving up != inherently bad.
why? not at all. last spectacular bubble was in real estate - it was accompanied by stock market rise but not by any means stock market bubble.
Someone who knows what they're talking about explain please!
What kind of bubble are we in? A VC investment bubble? The investments that are being disparaged too anecdotal to have a significant financial impact.
Why call it a bubble?
When you see a VC claim that one of their portfolio companies is overpriced then we MIGHT be in a bubble. Those talking about bubbles generally point to companies they don't own as examples of a bubble.
