doc_holliday1863 | Do you think the stock market is about to crash? |
We are seeing signs on tv and the newspapers that leads one to belive we are in for an impending stock market crash
like the one in 1929. This time we dont have the gold to bail us out and all we have left is the blue print from President Roosevelt to rise from the ashes.
Has the time come to dump the Government saveings bonds and bank cds and invest in Gold?
I dont think i'm alone in my way of thinking because the market has come very close to crashin this past week.
One needs to consider eiter looseing everything or salvageing what you can right now!
Your Throughts?

You need to start looking at a variety of real market news. Start watching a variety of shows on CNBC and Bloomberg if you wwant to get a real feel of whats going on along with reading either the Wall Street Jounal and/or Investors Business Daily.
We are entering a mild recession that the fed actually helped bring us into because of a lack of appropriate responses in a timely manner and discord among the ten members of the Fed reserve board in various speeches about inflation, interest rates and the state of the economy. The best estimates in my opinion are for two to three bad quarters that arent going to be the end of the world.
I would not advise anyone to buy gold at this level although it may in the short term go a bit higher before pulling back.
Some of the financials might be near a bottom and I like Starbucks and agricultural companies --particularly John Deere (DE). Altria right now is a buy in my opinion too as they are splitting soon into a national and international cig company that will start unlocking value. THe dividends have been great too. As we slide into recession drug companies are worth looking into also. |

First of all, relax. We're not even close to the crash of '29 nor are we going to be in the future barring any major catastrophe/war. I predict the markets will be flat for the next few months and then by the end of 2008 the Dow will be back past 14,000. Stay the course. Don't panic and sit tight. |

The stock market has not come anywhere near crashing "like the one in 1929." Read your history. That crash was triggered by massive margin speculation and stupid government policy. |

Well I don't think we are going to get a crash like 1929, because the Federal Reserve is acting appropriately to the situation. I believe there is going to be a slow down, so if you don't want to buy Gov. Bonds or Cd's. You should think about may being buy Silver coins like American Eagle or Gold Coins. Gold is very expensive and it could go higher, but silver is a cheaper type of metal which i think is more affordable. Anyways, it's very hard to predict where the market is heading in the future. |

no...the Fed Reserve will not let that happen...If it drops too much, the Fed Reserve will print more money and buy the stocks themselves. |

I don't make my investment decisions based on what the pundits on TV & in the newspaper have to say. Maybe they know what they are talking about. And maybe they are clueless (which I tend to believe).
The crashes in the past 1987 & 2000 - 2002 have been followed by tremendous returns in the stock market. Crashes are great buying opportunities. 1929, was 1929, which was worlds away from the current situation. You can think that the world as we know it is about to end, or you can be pro-active, and take advantage of the current situation.
We do have gold reserves. Ft. Knox alone has 100 billion in it. And the us has other gold reserves which they can tap. |

Take a look at a 10 year chart of the Dow or s&P. From 2001 - 2003 you will see the effect of recession. A recession is not a crash. The way a recession affects the stock market is different than a "crash."
A crash is unpredictable. Nobody can say whether the stock market is going to crash.
The reasons for a crash are often unknown. Black Monday 1987 was worst than 1929. But even today, nobody knows really what happened in 1987. |
