I keep telling people, if the economy gets really bad we'll get QE17, and the market will go much higher, not lower. It will be in worthless currency, but the market will go higher.
if we get some serious inflation - let's say 20%+ - it will crash all investments schemes which might starve big chunk of companies to bankruptcy quick do yo really believe shares of bankrupt company will cost anything even in worthless money? after QE17 AAPL will cost less than now, for sure
I am not sure if the stock market is the problem it is more debt. Equity may be favoured as debt fails. In any event housing will crash the most in my opinion.
Yes, we are DOOMED... when, who knows. always longer than possible. housing crash years after clowns said it's coming it could be years from now... yes, banks will continue to unload homes and it will crash, again. traders are good at being gloom & doom, while normal clowns only think about buy and hold. the gov't must look after them first..... but our time will come. 666 will be taken out

i don't know if it will be worse but it will be bad. the problem is its easier to buy on the drop than short the market. its a good short play doing it small but you can't overplay your hand because its to hard to time. the better trade is buy on the drop down maybe at 35% and do it small a few times so you cost average the move down because it might go down 50%. do it without margin and in a few years you will have made really good money. i don't think ceilings and floors are timetable. there are going to be great prices if the markets go down 35% to 50% so buy solid funds or at least 10 solid companies.
