Just to see where we were, when this thread started (October, 2009) and it predicted a crash, the DOW was just below 10,000.
Dow is up 300 , all of you liquidate every asset and invest it all in Apple , Boeing and American Express .LOL
I am a permabull but finally this thread might have some relevance.
All the stocks leading the market sold off yesterday. NVDA, AMZN, OSTK, ESIO as well as semiconductors. Seems like a canary in the coal mine. My guess is a 5% sell off from the peak if the tax bill passes over a few weeks.

I am all for owning bad predictions, but in all fairness to me, that short worked out well. I posted that November 30th. The tax bill passed in the evening Dec. 1st. See what the S&P did after that. But the bigger start to a pullback didn't materialize. That is true And even then 5% is not a crash or even a real pullback. That isn't exactly saying something very bearish. It isn't the doom and gloom in the rest of the thread.

And for some context, why I combined the tax bill and 5%.

Well, if the goal is to implode the entire system for a reset (and that's very, very possible given global economic changes underway, dollar reserve being dismantled), blowing up the bond market is how to do it since everything else dollar denominated essentially originates from the bond market. Just my 0.02 but I think the Fed already raised the target rate again but hasn't announced it and it will be framed as a 'surprise' hike at the next public dissemination of FOMC meeting results.

The Fed is terrified of inflation and loves deflation. Deflation is easy and fun to fix, just give out more free money. Inflation is extremely painful to fix, they have to take money away, crash the markets, crash the economy and bankrupt the banks. Given that I would guess that the Fed wants so make a big show out of it's teensy, little rate hikes to try to make it look like they are fighting inflation and to keep the dollar from sinking.
I've been waiting for the market crash for 40 years. I'm still waiting...
My wife on the other hand has been investing in the market and the "unrealized gains" are crazy. If we can cash it out before the big crash we will be sitting pretty but if the crash is sudden and deep we will lose...

Futures are looking uuuuuugly. 20% pop in VIX yesterday. Global markets are in sell-off mode, bond yields continue rising. Looks like a correction is finally underway. Whether it turns into a crash, I don't know.

That's the one I'm still waiting for. When I was in my 20's I said that the pyramid scam would be over before I ever got a chance to collect any money I've put into it (social security in case I need to clarify). I'm 2 months away from qualifying so unless that crash happens in the next two months I'll have been wrong about that prediction. I'm actually already wrong because I thought the crash would have happened a long time ago. I'm certainly not saying that the crash is NOT coming but I am saying I was way off on when I thought it would happen.

My wife is the same, all though her approach isn't flashy as it is more safe. She is spread across several energy stocks with dividend pay outs regardless of performance, and has those dividends roll back into purchasing more of those stocks. LOL....she HOPES for corrections and crashes, as it leads to us owning more of those companies. So, when they rebound the totals jump.

The question isn't whether a correction or crash will occur, it's how far down will it go? The big players want a correction because they are prepared to profit, but they will also want to turn it around quickly so they can then profit on the upside.
