Market Snapshot
Updated
1. Excessive Speculation or Asset Bubbles
Preceding downturns, markets often experience speculative mania in certain sectors (e.g., 1929 stock bubble, 2008 housing bubble, 2000 tech bubble).
2. Monetary Policy Tightening
Central banks often raise interest rates or tighten monetary policy to combat inflation, reducing liquidity (e.g., Federal Reserve hikes in 1929, 1980, and 2008).
3. Leverage and Debt Crises
Excessive leverage among consumers, corporations, or financial institutions increases vulnerability (e.g., margin loans in 1929, subprime mortgages in 2008).
4. Overvaluation of Financial Assets
Markets often become overvalued based on metrics like P/E ratios, creating disconnects between prices and fundamentals (e.g., 1999-2000 tech stocks, 1929).
5. Liquidity Crises
A lack of liquidity or credit crunch exacerbates selloffs (e.g., 2008 banking crisis, 1987 Black Monday).
6. Geopolitical or Systemic Shocks
Unexpected shocks such as wars, oil crises, or pandemics trigger fear and uncertainty (e.g., OPEC oil embargo in 1973, COVID-19 in 2020).
7. Declining Consumer Confidence
Consumer sentiment falls due to high unemployment, inflation, or fear of recession, dampening spending and economic activity (e.g., 2008, 1980s).
8. Corporate Earnings Decline
Broad declines in corporate profits lead to stock selloffs (e.g., early 2000s dot-com bust, 2008 financial crisis).
9. Structural Economic Weakness
Economic imbalances or structural issues amplify downturns (e.g., overproduction in 1929, housing bubble in 2008, supply chain disruptions in 2020).
10. Psychological Panic and Loss of Trust
Fear and herd behavior lead to mass selloffs, deepening declines (e.g., 1929 panic selling, Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008).

Trade active
In the post below I got the timing right on when we would see a significant downturn
Where I was wrong at is that this downturn that we get week of inauguration wont be the "big one"
We will get an even more significant downturn in the summer and that should see the end of this bull market
FYI- the level that I called out as the TOP is basically accurate....we just wont hit it until later in the summer
Cant be right all the time :)
