Time for a stock market crash

I sure the market goes down soon, my entire investment ISA is currently invested in short FTSE ETF's

What if it goes up? Never thought of that did you?

[BlasterBates]

It would just be another buying opportunity


The advantage of betting on the market going up is, you always win as long as you wait long enough.

Yeah but they haven't been that's the problem. I don't and will never have a pension, I have own investments in a variety of places.

I've just gone to a SIPP to control my own investments but still get the tax relief, add in a nice returning BTL I think I am doing ok for my age.

Ah right, that's better, still SIPP is too locked down for me.

Yep I did but the odds are for a correction within the next 6-8 weeks, so I think I am in a good place

What makes you think that

Problem with the stock market now is that is has very little to do with the profitability of the companies in it and a lot to do with the central banks and their will they won't they QE again.

The stock market is like a druggie hooked on the methadone of cheap money from central banks.

This advance has been on low volume and the Euro crises is far from resolved. There is no fudemental reason for the FTSE to be at these levels. Add in the fact that Sep-Oct is traditionally a very bad time for the Market and I feel quite confident of picking up a 5-10% gain on my positions over the next 8 weeks

I believe there will be a stock market crash in march 2009.
