Have you ever heard of the term tulip mania? As the term indicates, it has something to do with the tulip flower. The full story goes back all the way to seventeenth century Holland. Actually, the tulip is not native to Holland. Not until 1593 was it introduced to Holland by Carolus Clusius, a botanist, who brought it from Constantinople. He planted a small garden, intending to research the plant for medicinal purposes. If Clusius's neighbors had been morally upright, the tulip might still be a rare exotic plant in the gardening world. Instead they broke into his garden and stole some of his bulbs in order to make some quick money, and in the process started the Dutch bulb trade. Over the next several decades tulips became a popular trend among the rich of Holland, and the price of tulips began to rise. In a very short time, even ordinary bulbs were selling for extraordinary prices, and the prices for some of the rare types of tulip bulbs became absurdly high. A single bulb of a Viceroy, a rare type of tulip, would sell for 2,500 florins, which would be about $1,250 in current American dollars, while a Semper Augustus bulb, one of the rarest kinds of tulip, could easily go for twice the price of a Viceroy. Sometimes people traded one tulip bulb for other goods as well. The lengthy list includes, among other things, a bed, a complete suit of clothes, and a thousand pounds of cheese.

One curiosity of the 17th century tulip market was that people did not trade the flowers themselves but rather the bulbs of scarce varieties. The result was what would be called today, "a futures market." Tulips even began to be used as a form of money in their own right. In 1633, actual properties were sold for handfuls of tulip bulbs. This strategy led to an unexpected, rather absurd, incident. A man who ran a grocery store happened to learn that trading tulip bulbs could make him a lot of money, thus he began selling the bulbs in his store. The number of customers coming into his shop soared, and so he hired a new assistant. Interestingly, the assistant had never seen a tulip bulb in his life nor did he know how expensive one bulb was. While the owner of the store was away, he mistook a tremendously valuable tulip bulb for an onion, selling it for just one pence. Soon after, the owner came back and found out what had happened. He immediately went looking for the customer who had purchased the bulb, only to be devastated to learn that the customer had already eaten it for dinner. What he had had for dinner that evening actually cost 24 times the salary of a normal sailor in Amsterdam at that time.

How did the tulip market boom, and then go bust? There were several factors, but it mostly had to do with the simple rule of supply and demand. The tulip bulb was a rare commodity from the start, although ordinary bulbs were often sold by the pound. Then some of the tulips contracted a mosaic virus that altered the color of the blooms, creating red stripe patterns on their leaves. These varieties were very rare, and this started attracting wealthy collectors. This caused the price of the rare tulip bulbs to become even higher. Demand grew so rapidly that the supply of bulbs could not keep pace with the demand, and the prices rose and rose. But no market can sustain that kind of rapid growth rate forever. Eventually the price of a single tulip bulb became so high that very few buyers were able to purchase one. When no buyers showed up to buy the tulip bulbs, a domino effect occurred. Demand dropped suddenly, panic selling spread across Holland, and the price bubble burst, which caused an economic disaster for those who had speculated in the tulip market.

Looking back, it's easy to laugh at the foolish Dutch for paying such high prices for simple tulip bulbs, but an economic bubble was nothing new even then. We have experienced a lot of economic bubbles recently such as the real estate bubble, the stock market bubble, and the dot-com bubble. Then how can we avoid falling into another tulip mania type crisis? Christopher Menon, a financial journalist, gives us three answers to this question. First, do not yield to public opinion! To put it metaphorically, "be a shepherd not a sheep!" When the majority is sure about making money out of something, you should question whether they are right. Second, if you don't yield to public opinion in an inflated market, calculate the intrinsic value. "Price is what you pay: value is what you get," says Warren Buffet. This implies that price and value are not always the same. Thus, you should weigh the price you pay against the value of the item you wish to buy! Third, count on rationality. According to rational models of decision making, people will make choices that maximize benefit and minimize cost. If the value you can gain is higher than the price you must pay, you can take a step forward. But in the opposite case, you must stop. We have learned a valuable lesson from the economic crisis caused by tulip mania in 17th century Holland. It is now up to us to become a rational consumer in any economic activity that we do in the future!
