Is the stock market going to tank?

[Yossarian]

Not the bond market. Not the private equity market. Not the real estate market. Not the dollar. Nor pig futures. Nor gold prices. (Although they may all be related, or not.) Nor anything else.

And not a small 100-200 point correction/gains taking. And not "Is the stock market overvalued?" Nor any other possible similar question (although they may all be related, or not).

But: Is the US, stock, market (let assume for sake of discussion the DJIA in particular) going to TANK in the next six months?

Discuss.

Or not.

[lemon boy]

depends!

[Woodsy]

you are both not stocky enough to talk tacks in here

[lemon boy]

clete's pretty stocky anymore.

[Yossarian]

can't argue that!

[Woodsy]

can't argue that!

rally?
deuce, deuce & 1/2?

[Yossarian]

P.S. I say yes. DJIA will be below 13,000 again sometime this summer.

I'm not sure about that, but, fuck doggies, everything is ridiculously expensive. Gas, food, housing, really basic stuff is sucking up a lot of resources. What inpact will that have on stock investing? Who knows. I doubt stuff like the national debt or trade deficits with China affect most people way of thinking or economic view, but the skyrocketing day to day costs are going to have some impact somewhere.

Consider that a factor?

I've got a lot bet on "no" so I'm gonna say "yes".

[Buster Highmen]

P.S. hi Yoss, nice to see your typings.

[Yossarian]

I've got a lot bet on "no" so I'm gonna say "yes".

I knew I could count on you for something. I was really just wondering what you were doing, so I could bet against you.

No, but the sky (you know, that big blue thing above your head) is going to fall (as in drop, nose-dive, plummet, tumble, or for the geeks...accelerate at 9.8m/s^2).

You could probably make a fortune by shorting my portfolio.

That's -9.8m/s^2, sir.

I doubt I'll ever have the balls to go short in a big way, but the idea of shorting you IS enticing.

We need an Iceman Fund, so we can all bet on your portfolio performance.
