Stock Market Heading for an October Crash?
Stock-Markets / Financial Crash Sep 16, 2009 - 02:31 AM GMTWe survived the brief market pullback so thus far September looks a bit safer than in previous years. The big question hanging over this market is whether the investment-led recovery will be given legs by a revival of consumption. The jury remains out on this as consumers are clearly saving more and undergoing an interesting transformation from spendthrift bubblemeisters to far more thrifty families. The danger is that we may catch Japan’s “paradox of thrift” disease: Japanese citizens have been so paranoid about the economy that they never spend enough to restore robust growth to the Land of the Setting Economic Sun.
For a more detailed analysis of whether consumers will fail in the follow-through and lead us into an October stock market crash, I strongly urge you to view my latest video at TheStreet.com.
I do these videos in lieu of the lengthy newsletter at least partly because it’s a lot easier to add chart content to the video. I guarantee that if you view this one, you will learn a lot about how to forecast the stock market trend. Click here to view October Crash at TheStreet.com. Do let me know what you think.
