Stock Market crash before Christmas?

[SantaClaus]

Place your bets ladies and gentleman please.

Added my personal definition as requested by HAB and others:

• A drop that is big enough to cause panic.
• A sharp move down (even if it doesnt touch the March lows) in a short amount of time.
• Panic selling and media hysteria.

Not a chance.

0.00000000000000000% probability.

Please be explicit about your definition of 'crash'.

I thought the economic deity currently residing at Number 10 had saved the world, was he lying?

It`s already happened - March was the low.
Depends how you define a crash. I define a crash as in much lower than the March low. A return to a sniffing distance ofthe March low would not be a crash, it`d still be a recovery (the trend would be still up)

Depends whether money invested in shares is a good hedge against economic armageddon and currency collapse I suppose. Presumably some shares would do badly in that scenario? E.g. Banks?

And this hedge would be Zeity's space dreadnought?
