Is another stock market crash coming soon?

Very good point. Dividends aren't an across the board reality though. Most companies don't have dividends, I think.

They don't factor in dividends, most dividend funds are avg 6%/yr over a decade....
 
If you invested $1 in the S&P 500 on Jan 1, 2001 and held it through Dec. 31 2010, factoring in dividends and inflation, you would have $0.90. Without factoring inflation you would have $1.14.

Lot of companies do have dividends but most tech companies which make up great % of SP500/Dow Jones don't have dividends. Seriously if you are long over 10+ years no one should be dumb enough to put it on index funds and expect a good return.
 
If Obama wins your scenario is likely.

Commodities and precious metals will be the next bubble - we aren't anywhere near that yet.

I think the stock market will continue to deflate until the end of the year.

Then we'll be starting an election year. Do the powers that be want Obama to stay in the White House?

The banks and the big corporations are sitting on hundreds of billions in idle cash. Why are they holding onto it? What are they waiting for?

If they want Obama to stay in the White House, I expect those billions will come flooding back into the economy starting early next summer once we know who the Republican nominee is. They will choose some sector and inflate the bubble to historic proportions with billions upon billions of dollars. The stock market will soar to unimaginable heights and the unemployment rate will drop and we will have full employment.

The press will loudly proclaim that happy days are here again because of the Obama Miracle. Obama will win in a landslide.

Then inflation will hit us like a steam roller and the Fed will tighten and the economy will collapse when the massive bubble bursts. Maybe a war will be the solution to all the economic chaos. But by then, Obama will be safely entrenched for another four years. (See Woodrow Wilson.)

I'm guessing if you can pick the sector they will target for the Obama bubble, you can make a killing. It won't be housing again. Social media seems played out and can't provide significant levels of employment anyway. The green economy is a bust. What will it be? The media will start giving hints early in the year.

Maybe hemp? How about unmanned aerial systems (Skynet)?

Tulips?

What a hilarious fantasy!

Barry has ZERO chance of being re-elected.

None, zip, he's toast.

Probably won't even be the dem nominee.
 
While grassroots liberty movements are making A LOT of strides, I think you may change your tune once the propaganda machine is flipped to the "OVERLOAD" setting.

My take has nothing to do with grassroots liberty movements.

It has primarily to do with Barry being an ineligible candidate.

He slipped through the cracks the first time around ---> but has NO chance of doing so again.

He's completely toxic and has zero chance of being re-elected.
 
Seems that more and more people are calling for a near-term correction. The term "mature-market" is being thrown around, by people who are usually cheerleaders for the market. This bull-run within a secular bear has just about run out of steam, and the debt crisis is just what it will take for it to be pushed over the edge.

Unfortunately, an overall market crash will take mining stocks with it. Gold and silver will also be hit, as people will need to raise cash. If someone is fully invested, is it time to take some profits so that you have cash waiting to buy back in after the crash?

One article:

Stock's are crashing, people need to raise cash...gold and silver starting to sell in the last hour...
 
Big plunge in the last hour. Down 470 and heading lower.

If unemployment numbers come out bad tomorrow (9.3%-9.5%), look for an even bigger sell off.

This aint' no flash crash.
 
Compare these gains to the dxy.
Everybody in the financial msm is looking at the dxy and saying that the $ is a sound currency with low inflation (cpi). The problem is that the dxy compares trash (usd) to garbage (mainly eur).
true... I always do a comparison to garbage, trash, and responsible ecos...

EWE... a BEATING TODAY

DOW: -512.66
S&P: -60.22


Today, like watching "The Big One" @ Talladega or Daytona
 
Unemployment numbers from the government come out tomorrow. Could mean double dip on top of a stock market crash..
