that is not the question. What are you going to do if it does? Buy? Are you going short now? Focus on actions, not trivia.

1929... there have been real market 'crashes' every decade over the last 70 years! More money was lost between 2000 and 2002 than was lost in 1929. Before that, there was big hit that the market took in 1987.
When will it happen again, I don't know. Some suggest that different signs are pointing to a crash in 2007. I don't see it occuring for at least 5 years. But I do think that different markets will be hit badly from year to year. Different countries or different sectors.

Mr Money gave you a terrific answer. 100 times more money was lost during both the crash of 87 and the crash of 01 than the crash of 29. Of course there was a lot more capital in the market during both those times. But maybe the 29 dollar was worth 100 more than the 01 dollar too. Back then the best room in NYC cost $5.00. In 01 it probably cost $500 or more.
The big question that could lead to a crash is housing values and mortgages. If people start walking away from their over priced houses and stick the mortgage lenders with the houses, that could very well lead to a crash. If so we will have Allen Greenspan to thank.

A crash is not predictable, but I do have some interesting research on predicting when the market will decline. Looking at historical stock market returns since the Depression, for every 3 years of market gains, we have one year of market losses. Over the past 3 years, the market has had positive returns. Does that indicate a downturn next year? Possibly, but not for sure. One thing for sure is that the market will eventually have a down year, and for every year we have gains, having losses the next year becomes more likely.

if they can successfully keep the naked shorting scandal from exploding, then maybe it will be ok......but the vulnerabilities from this are so far-reaching that it could crater our entire financial system.
(why do you think they destroyed WTC 7 on 9/11??)
they had piled all the evidence into this from the SEC, then blew up the bldg!!
that's how big this is, for the govt. to go to such lengths to cover it up
