What will be the catalyst to cause the markets to drop?

I have no problem with that but how about a 1% pullback -- when shit like this happens you get a flash crash - up up up up is not healthy for the markets -- levels need to be tested.

Thats why i'm so wary to short. Everyone from stock boards to the real world is so negative and everywere i go people shorting. I think we spike to 1200-1300 by year end just because no one thinks we can.

Kassz007 ,

i agree, im not saying the economy isnt in a mess and financial meltdowns make for great conversations. But the worst rarely happens when everyone expects it, usually comes up and bites you on the ass when you least expect.

The markets where called higher and higher going into 07 and look what happened. For the past few years everyone has been saying how this is the end of the financial world and people dont even trust banks with savings accounts and the market has rallied.

Im just trying to get to the bottom of what will cause the meltdown so many people seem to be expecting. Printing money is an answer I have got. But that has been happening for 2 years and hasnt caused the markets to crash. When does it stop making the markets go up?

I think if something drastic were to happen, it would have to be something nobody expects. Excessive money printing is well known and won't cause some type of crash. It would have to be something unexpected such as some type of major unforseen bankruptcy, parabolic oil prices, etc.

Ah so now it makes sense. You are playing the million years cycle.

I've heard of the markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent but....

The whole world is going up up up with inflation. PSE (philippines stock exchange) just broke a new record high yesterday.

Looks like the whole world is going to inflate with us.
 
BULL ....everyone thinks the economy is back, pile into the markets and they run back to 13000 or so....then you may have a Crash.

But all in all. IMHO....i think its slowly rangebound chop after the elections, for a while at least.

Nothing is going to make this market sell hard again, IMHO. It's manipulated, twisted and most smart money left two years ago...and they are not coming back anytime soon.

Flash Moves may happen thanks to the QUANTS and BOTS. But thats about it.

Dinosaurs were wiped out because they had become the dominant species.

Now human beings have become the dominant species.

I would not be surprised if this turns into the banking calamity narrowly missed 2 years ago.
