"Ah, the Markets!  If NO Rapture.........will "good times" continue?  This article says.....no."


 

I like the Title of the Article:  "No SAVIOUR in sight...."     Hmmmm......smile......
 
More than ever in my investment career of 30+ years.........  I have never worried MORE about a market break/crash to the downside.

5 years after 2008....and NOTHING has been fixed.  Not financially, NOR politically.....not in the USA and especially in Europe.

Yet.....many "people in the know" in the US are calling for a good stock market for the next 2-3 years yet.  One article calling for DOW 28,000 in the next 10 years.

As for me...I'm TOO WORRIED about ANY "outside the box" experience....or BAD NEWS to be too bold on the upside expectations.

The article below is from a website I an skepitcal about (TruNews) but I thought the article was worth a post.

See below:  It talks about the same thing I just expressed..."how can the markets just continue to go up, with things as questionable as they are and nothing has really been fixed at all!  ......all around the world, especially in Europe. "  (paraphrased)
 
So....what are the OUTSIDE the BOX possibilities haning out there?
 
Well
 
1) the Rapture, for sure...
2) Europe could throw up again....as they ahve 3 times in the last 4 years....and EACH TIME their probelms have impacted OUR market to the negative......
 
3) WAR in the MIDDLE East....and how that all plays out in retalliatory responses.....and then you have the price of oil and tension points like the Straight of Hormuz.
 
4) the problems in the USA, financially or politically could come back to haunt us once again...

5) As the US Fed cuts back on bond buying.....THIS could be a "trigger point" ........
 
WITHOUT an outside the box news event though......things just might continue to look good to OK for a number of months.
 
We shall see.
 
TICK TOCK..
