Will The Stock Market Crash Before The End Of 2008?

I say it will. The stock market hasn't crashed since the year 1929.

 

My belief is simple... what is keeping it alive currently? Does anyone have the faintest idea? Take a look around you... absolutely nothing.

 

What pumps you up to trade stocks each and everyday? Hope to get on a hot read? The bottom line is... it will crash soon enough. For all you high rollers who have 50k plus involved in it... get it out ASAP. It's going to happen... I can feel it...

 

And once it does hit rock bottom... take that money...and get back into it.

 

I promise you it will drop 1,000 points in one single day before the end of 2007. There isn't any security or leverage to keep the DOW this high as it is...

calm down. i think u are way off here. there are alot of things keeping it up a 5 percent correction is about all thats gonna happen a crash is highly unlikely because we are now a global market. A china crash could create a giant ripple but i think its unlikely.

I see a 10% correction by the end of 2008 but there will no longer be crashes.....ever again.  If you thought the world was dependent on the good ole US of A back in 1929, it's a thousand times more dependent now.  We've created that dependence.

 

That being said......plunge protection is in full effect domestically and internationally.

Minus a catastrophic event such as nuclear war that would entice most investors to liquidate their portfolios, 401ks, etc. I don't see how we could get more than the 5-10% correction noted as a possibility above. With the billions of dollars pouring into 401ks, IRAs, etc. the money managers have to find a place for this money and most of it is being invested in the stock market. Also with the number of public companies being bought by private equity that reduces the supply of stocks for these money managers.

 

Economics 101. As demand increases and supply decreases, prices increase.

 

 

 

didn't the market crash in 1987?  but as for your opinion, i can see a huge sell off happening sometime in the near future.  but how big of one, i dont know.

Same old song and dance.....someone predicting a crash.  Heard it all before.

 

All jokes aside....yes, anything and everything can and will happen, but Dow dropping a grand is a less than 10% move. 

 

To me, a crash is dropping like 30% in one day.

 

But, yeah, man, keep predicting a crash and predicting doom, cause eventually you'll be right and all the fools will then call you a "stock market guru."

 

Hahahahahaha

I say a 20% correction will occur.  Then we go back up. 

I think it is crashing today!

credit concerns, subprime issues bleeding into prime market

auntie em, uncle henry its a twister its a twister

Wallstreet

 

Do you think this continues tomorrow?

Feels like it, my stocks are getting killed over the last few weeks

 

T-King

buying opportunity.

 

way too much fear for market to really get taken apart.  too many are shorting it and calling for a crash.......and those people doing that will feel one thing over time......

 

PAIN

og-

 

no offense, man, i'm sure you have a better take than what you wrote......

 

but you did predict a "HUGE SELL-OFF," but don't make any predictions of how much or when other than "near future."

 

basically, you really hedged yourself pretty good with that type of qualifier, man.

 

it's like if the north-east US weatherman predicts before every winter that there will be a big snow storm but doesn't know when or how many inches.

 

...............not a very tough prediction to make.

 

no offense, though, man.  i'm sure you meant to do better, and i'm sure you have the knowledge to quantify at least something.
