Nobody knows that. Crash refers to panic selling and last one took place in October 1987.

Certain changes have been applied since then and risk of crash is much lower. For example we have E-mini futures contracts traded outside regular exchange hours. In case of enormous number of sell orders before the opening bell money managers can hedge their positions with ES futures.
This is just simplified example to show how different markets are these days. In reality there are many other instruments available now to hedge a risk.

Yes....possibly starting around 2010.... Post dot com was a crash depends on how you define the depth of a depression. The 1929 crash was never admitted to by the gov but portrayed as a minor recession. 5 years later they reasoned better. Post 2001 was the worst since in my life as the percentage of what may be called displacement of people by economic change of employment.

Crashes normally come from various different causes. Sometimes they are the result of the bursting of a bubble. Sometimes the result of a geopolitical event. Sometimes an economic event. Sometimes just for the fun of it.

Through out history there have been crashes or corrections repeatedly and almost assuredly one about every ten years or so. Based on history and probability I would say there is about an 85% probability. If you include all the stock markets in the world he probabilty rises to certainty.

40 or 50% corrections in basic terms ensue whilst there has been a bubble in the marketplace such with the aid of fact the dot com enhance in the late ninety's. In some places the housing marketplace has had an speculative bubble, yet yet inventory expenditures are greater or much less consistent with earnings. business employer earnings do no longer selection almost as much as inventory expenditures and P/E ratios. He reported the turmoil replaced into comparable, no longer the run up. Marked turmoil happens whilst traders are uncertain concerning the destiny, however the present issues are due the the loan disaster.

I think what you need is help from God because he's the only one who truly knows what will happen in the next 10 years... not help from people who spend all their time answering questions on Yahoo.
