Definition: A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market, resulting in a significant loss of paper wealth.Crashes are driven by panic as much as by underlying economic factors.
 
For some time now, a prominent trader and investor have been telling stories about a coming stock market crash. He has been telling everyone that he is getting prepared with tons of cash waiting by the sidelines for a stock market crash to happen and then profiting handsomely from the event.
 
I can say from my experience that predicting a stock market crash is the most futile exercise I have ever done.
 
Very few people will be able to forecast correctly this event. Many more will see it but do not believe or understand until too late!
 
I know because I have been caught in 3 major stock market crashes in the past (1987,1998 and 2008) and each market crash was caused by a different factor from the other. 
 
I expect the next one will also be affected by a different factor from the last one and the others. What factor is it going to be is your guess is as good as mine.
 
So forget about predicting when the next stock market crash will happen. If you keep all that cash and the crash happened in 10 years time, you would have lost 10 years opportunity in the stock market. 
 
From my own experience, you will be better off investing slow and steady with SPARE CASH on good listed companies that paid good dividends and companies with growth potential for capital appreciation. Treat investing like a business and not a get rich quick scheme or a casino.
 
Also a general rule is don't put a large percentage of your CASH ...in the stock market. Your long-term investments and future need to be diversified and NOT dependent on a single vehicle. Good Luck!

When everyone is expecting an event to happen, then such an event is not really an 'event' at all

When everyone is expecting a crash to occur, they would already had this event 'priced in' into the market, hence there will not be an opportunity to exploit when such an event does occur

Fortunebullz is correct this time!

Clap!
Clap!

The Us$ 1.5 to 2.5 Trillions which will be repatrated by US Companies oversea by tax amnesty will flow into US Infrastruture.

This is suggested by both Hilary and Trump.

So instead of Market Crash the world might even a multi year rally lead by Wall Street.

You don't need to forecast the next big crash. All you need to know is there will be a crash. At that time, make sure you're liquidated to take advantage and not be trapped. At the moment we know the crash is coming in the next 1-3 years. Its ok to wait. Money put in FD first. You see, cash is a position, its ok to hold on to it.

The fact is if you don't know how to follow market timing, you will lose money.

The Federal Reserve has two more meetings this year. One before the election and one in Dec. They will raise the rates in December. And just like last year, the increase of rates and devaluation of Chinese Yuan will hit to stockmarket.
