Its been suggested already by a few economists that a new crash is coming.

Hopefully, they are not talking about a BTC crash. Cheesy

This is caused by QE which is pushing up asset prices. The fact that interest rates are so low is distorting these numbers

Interest rates are low in part because inflation is low, productivity is falling and wage growth is non-existent. There is no reason for interest rates to go higher.

It doesn't mean anything for the most of people who are short term traders and just follow the indicators shown by the market. Those indicators are calculated by the previous data and give sell or buy orders called trend following strategy.

What was the 200 crash?
I agree we will se crisis, but for me this is not where it will start.

We don't know when but the indicators show a high probability that it'll happen very soon or soon.

I'm exited about a crash coming. A crash is nothing more than a big change.
A big change means plenty of opportunities for those who are prepared and adapt.

Cryptocurrency will play the most important role tomorrow.

You (err Yellen) very slowly closes the faucet that of quantitative easing, slowly buying fewer and fewer treasuries.

She has to suck the liquidity back into the faucet, for us to move back into pre-QE levels of money supply.

And that is the trap they have backed themselves into. How do you get down from that ledge without falling? Something has to give at some point.

It could just mean GDP is low in comparison to US stocks. US corporations receives revenue and profits from the global market, a lagging domestic market does not necessarily mean US corporations are not profitable and are overvalued.  Cheesy

Well it's certainly true that what goes up must come down (at least some).

But what this chart doesn't do is really give us a fool proof answer or prediction of the future. Look at the charted level in 1996, where it meets the previous high point (from 1966). At that point people could have said "the crash is coming!" Yet it took another 4 years for that decline to come.

Buffett is a smart guy. I'm not saying this chart is wrong. I'm saying that decisions made using this chart only need to consider the context of one's investing time horizon.

Oh, the 90s. Such a good decade. Look at that pretty graph.

Are we ever going to see such a time period again? Probably not in the US or the western world at least.

To me it looks like it can still go up to the 2000 level if not higher before the big crash.
