Bubbles are bad because the resources that a bubble wastes dwarf whatever benefits you may find.

It depends.

This thinking assumes that a re-allocation of resources is wasteful.  This may not be correct.  If a person who creates opportunity gains, while a person who only takes opportunity loses, the re-allocation may have created even more wealth.
