Stock Market Crash Likely By the End of 2018 (My Prediction)

WHAT 

Disclaimer! I am not a market conspiracy-theorist or self-proclaimed clairvoyant, what I am about to share is data-driven talking points that support the need of an exit strategy for equity investors. I will be sharing some macro indicators, graphs, & commentary that I hope will prove to be of use.  

What I have to say is this: Our stock market is currently, massively overvalued (total market value cap is 150% above total GDP since Q2 of last year). Economic cycles would tell us that this bull market is likely to come to an end quite soon, yet the S&P continues to rise. The issue here is that retail investors and business-friendly policies are artificially extending this run in our equity market. Don't get me wrong, tax cuts are fantastic contributors to economic growth, but the stock market is simply too high given historical context. There is also not enough intrinsic value to justify the market's current standing.  

The Perfect Storm

Final Thoughts 

I'm rambling now so here are my final thoughts. I would HIGHLY recommend that my fellow investors close their bullish stock positions (many of you have already made a killing, sometime you need to take your $ and run). Secondly, for those who want to profit from a would-be bear market, I suggest you look into counter-cyclical investments that increase in value when the market bleeds (such as gold and our much-loved digital currencies). 

PLEASE up-vote & comment, feedback is greatly appreciated! I’m here 24/7 if any of you have questions regarding how to invest successfully.

Many predicted the same for 2017. Personally, I am of the opinion that we are going to see the stock market begin a correction soon (it seems pretty extended to the upside already). However, I would treat that as a buying opportunity since this setup targets SPX well above $3000 after the upcoming correction completes.

it is true stock market crash likely by the end of 2018 ?
