This Is What A Pre-Crash Market Looks LikeBy Michael Snyder, on November 12th, 2017 The only other times in our history when stock prices have been this high relative to earnings, a horrifying stock market crash has always followed. Will things be different for us this time? We shall see, but without a doubt this is what a pre-crash market looks like. This current bubble has been based on irrational euphoria that has been fueled by relentless central bank intervention, but now global central banks are removing the artificial life support in unison. Meanwhile, the real economy continues to stumble along very unevenly. This is the longest that the U.S. has ever gone without a year in which the economy grew by at least 3 percent, and many believe that the next recession is very close. Stock prices cannot stay completely disconnected from economic reality forever, and once the bubble bursts the pain is going to be unlike anything that we have ever seen before. If you think that these ridiculously absurd stock prices are sustainable, there is something that I would like for you to consider. The only times in our history when the cyclically-adjusted return on stocks has been lower, a nightmarish stock market crash happened soon thereafter… theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/this-is-what-a-pre-crash-market-looks-like

Dropped 1600 pts, then when the dust settled it is at -1175 with a projected -600 in futures. Yup, everybody was cheering the 'trump rise', now it's just a lot further to fall.
As I mentioned in another article; Trump will have to DOUBLE obama's debt spending to keep the upward market trajectory, you can bet your ass the 'market stabalization' jerkys are currently in full panic mode. A 1600 point drop for no discernible reason...
And a blast from the past...

Must keep sheeple investing in the govt sponsored ponzi scheme at all costs... Opinion: The stock market’s plunge isn’t the sound of a bubble burstingBy Mark Hulbert, Published: Feb 6, 2018 3:32 p.m. ET Whatever it is that’s bringing the stock market down sharply, it’s not the bursting of a bubble. That’s because the recent market — overheated and overvalued as it has been — doesn’t even come close to past market bubbles. And the stock market’s plunge over the last week — more than 2,000 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +2.42% on an intra-day basis — also doesn’t compare to the carnage of a bubble bursting. That at least is what I conclude from academic research into the precursors of past market bubbles. Consider first a study that was published in 2006 by Malcolm Baker, a finance professor at Harvard Business School, and Jeffrey Wurgler, a finance professor at NYU. They devised a number of objective indicators of irrational exuberance that, in backtesting, were highly correlated with bubbles such as the 1929 stock market crash and the bursting of the Internet bubble in early 2000. Here are several of those indicators: www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-some-good-news-about-the-stock-markets-plunge-2018-02-05
