Will the halvening of the DOW be an election issue? Will it be triggered by the Fed? Markets are hanging off the edge of a cliff and it's September so put your bets down.
Personally, I'm keeping an eye on Asian bonds. I have full confidence in market managers' ability to carry out a crash once it starts, but there is often a trigger that seems artificial. Where will the cracks start to allow water out of the dam first?

Slaves predict. Kings react.

Right, so what are you saying, specifically? My understanding of the world is the exact opposite. Kings plan, and make decisions long before plebes even hear about what's happening, and they're the ones left reacting to the king's early moves. Before someone can react to something, wouldn't they be predicting what happens first and then reacting accordingly?

You started this thread with a fanciful question that no one can answer. My point is that prediction is a fool's game. You can't control for the myriad of factors in the financial markets nor can you control them in any way so why bother predicting? The smart investor has rock-solid rules that simply respond to market moves.
