Do you mean that "overaccumulation" leads to saving in excess of investment which then leads to "financial bubbling" when this excess is redirected into financial markets?

In other words, in a simple illustrative system in which consumption and investment constitute the only two forms of exprenditure, do you mean that total total saving in a period (total income minus total consumption expenditure) can be in excess of total investment expenditure in that period with the excess being redirected into financial markets?
