Major stock crash imminent

I would expect a ~20% correction from the highs in this environment, but it’s holiday season and we just bounced off significant S&P weekly support level today.

Why is a loss of 20% of value a "correction"? Isn't it really a decrease? Gains are called gains, not corrections. Why not call a loss a loss?

I guess they're getting a little nervous?

I wish it was possible to make a few bucks investing in CDs like it was in the past.

Today's interest rates are so low it's not even worth the time.

What to do with $150k that I don't want in the market due to volatility but would love to make 3% on?

Talk to a New York Stock Exchange Financial Advisor. They will discuss your risk tolerance and your goals.

You are not far away with 3 month T-Bill @ 2.35% and one year CD @ 2.7%

Financial advisors are worthless. Index it and forget it

The Dow has not even reached 10% below it’s high and you guys are talking about a crash? Get a grip.

1.)Where does Ford Source their Aluminum?

2.)Where does Apple source their Raw Material?

It’s just terminology adopted by the investing community:

Nah. It's sales language designed by those who sell investments and investment advice to the public and is meant to confuse.

Like "risk tolerance".

Financial Disadvisor you are incorrect about the Fed tapering their tightening policy. They are still likely to raise rates well into 2019 unless there are worrying signs of inflation.

We’re seeing a return to volatility which is historically very normal. It just feels rockier than usual because we’re at the tail of a market cycle. The market is a leading indicator so it is possible by 2020 we head towards recession but nothing to be alarmed at. The markets, one could argue, have been overvalued for some time so this was inevitable

Spoken like a person who only as a little toe in the markets. There are reasons those with one million dollars to fifteen million dollars in markets have full service financial advisors. Investors at large NYSE firms sometimes fall out with their advisors. They do not take their millions to a toll free number at Vanguard, the unhappy big guys go to another NYSE firm.

I'm not talking about a crash. However, Igy saying on a page 3 post; "50% haircut to global stocks." You might want to read his posts on this thread and discuss it with him.

Hussman? He’s an idiot. Do yourself a favor and don’t listen to him unless you want to lose your shirt.

This quote reminds me of you:

“The notion that the desirability of a common stock was entirely independent of its price seems incredibly absurd. Yet the new-era theory led directly to this thesis… An alluring corollary of this principle was that making money in the stock market was now the easiest thing in the world. It was only necessary to buy ‘good’ stocks, regardless of price, and then to let nature take her upward course. The results of such a doctrine could not fail to be tragic.”

– Benjamin Graham & David L. Dodd, Security Analysis, 1934

This quote reminds me of you:

“You’re an idiot.”
