Anybody who claims to know the answer to your question is a liar, because nobody can accurately predict the future.
You, me and the other six billion people on the planet all have a small influence on things that will eventually influence the stock market. Do you choose to spend or save money today? Where will you go shopping tomorrow?
All this will influence the market, and nobody can accurately what you, me or anybody else will do tomorrow, because we haven't decided yet.
Mark Hulbert, founder of the Hulbert Financial Digest (now a part of MarketWatch), has followed hundreds of newsletters for more than twenty years, including stock market timing newsletters. You can read his conclusions in the Business Week article below. Quote: "Hulbert's conclusion: None of the newsletter timers beat the market."
In my opinion, if you care about the stock market crashing, then you may have the wrong strategy.
If you invest in a neutral manner, in order not to be exposed to stock market swings, you can still make a performance of 15% to 30% per year, but you'll have between half and four times less risk than holding an index tracker.
Should you wish to know more about how to invest in a market neutral way, you can check out my website on the second link.
Let's make money!
Good luck

After the 1987 crash, a new mechanism was put into place where the market will shut down if it drops below a certain threshhold. It is likely that panic will abate during the cooling off period and a crash will be avoided.
This won't stop crashes completely -- but it will keep the market from dropping 25% in a day.

It already did, in 1929. Oh yeah and in 2000-2002
Dont think it will happen again though 2000-2002 wasnt nearly as bad as 1929. Some stocks in 1928-1929 went from $1000 a share to like $2 a share in less than a year.
