Also, some stories here.

It's impossible to know the future of the stock market. People have opinions as to what will happen. Few ever predict a crash or bull market until it's happened so you could say there's a bit of luck involved in such a prediction.

Stock futures may be interesting to you. Google "S & P futures" to find many informative links. S & P futures often signal the stock market's response.

As to predictions, be careful. Financial "pundits" like to stay positive, even before a crash. Positive comments can keep the markets up even when things are not so good. Most that lost a lot in the crashes, had their money in risky investments that were paying returns way beyond the norm-50% a year-so it's no surprise those were the very ones that declined the most. There were mutual funds that weathered the bad times just fine-but who chooses an 8% return when you can have 50%?

Hope that helps! It's maybe more than you cared to know,
