If people start walking away from their overpriced homes that they can not afford to pay the mortgages on, it may be sooner than you might imagine. Maybe invest 1/2 and put the other 1/2 in t-bills. If there is a crash you will be at least 1/2 prepared. On the other hand if there is not, you will be able to reap some rewards.

There will be a major stock market crash by 2010. History will largely attribute the crash to a greatly destabilized US economy caused by excessive governmental spending to support the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas.
As we speak, the chief officers of billion-dollar US defense contracting companies are exercising stock options and dumping their stocks in quantities generally ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 shares at a time, making millions off the sales. Meanwhile stock prices are falling, and the companies cannot recoup because the Department of Defense is reallocating funds from non-essential contracts to primary contracts to support the warfighters on the ground.
The US economy is spiraling towards an economic depression. Be prepared.

It would take a HUGE National Catastrophe for the Market to Crash.
The Stock Market is very healthy, corporate earnings are Strong!
We might see a small corection in the market in 2007, partly do to the pullback in the housing sector. Oil prices are begining to decline which is great news. One major concern is inflation. It appears that this is not in check, which could force the Fed to RAISE Interest rates again.
I don't see a Market Crash in the near future

I don't think anyone can really predict what the market will do in the short term. In the long term, it usually goes up with a compound annual return that beats inflation by about 7%. You can't get that anywhere else except maybe real estate.

When you see a stock climbing way to high at a unusual rate of growth watch out they may do a shake out. and if you see the same thing with multiple stocks of the same kind of industries in 2001 then watch out for a crash.

2010!!!!
I recommend reading Harry Dent's Books about the upcoming Bubble and subsequent Burst on this topic. He bases his decision on demographic trends.

Robert T. Kiyosaki makes a similar prediction also based on demographics (aging baby boomers). I suspect he stole from Dent though. Dent has been talking about this sine the 1990's.
