3 Reasons The Stock Market Could Crash In The Next Few Months.

 
Wall Street experts believe the stock market is soon going to crash due to a lot of reasons. But what are these reasons exactly? Let's break them through and see the 3 most important reasons that potentially can crash the stock market in the following months.  

1. Omicron/variant spread.

In the early weeks of COVID-19, the stock market was hit badly due to the fear of people and because the situation was bad. Lockdowns, masks, helplessness, stocks in the supermarkets were extremely low, everything closed and the people went crazy. Soon the stock market revived back to normal with the time. With the recent discovery from the scientists about the Omicron variant in South Africa which apparently is 20x more spreadable than the other covid variants. Experts suggest the world take more strict measures to prevent this variant spread the world. Now, what about the stock market? Well, it is already hitten as the S&P 500 has already fallen 4%! As time pasts more and more stocks fall rapidly in value and that is the beginning of the end. We can't predict the stock market, so only time will tell.


2. Historically High Inflation

Inflation has been in our lives a long time ago but we don't understand it. Inflation has decreased the value of money a lot and it does every year approximately 8%. Did you know that 100 dollars in 1920 wouldn't buy you even a coffee today? Yeah, that's right. Even though wages are going up for workers, much of their buying power could be stripped away by rising rent/home costs, markedly higher energy prices, and even above-average food inflation. And that's a problem we don't see. 

3. Debt Margin

Generally speaking, margin debt -- the amount of money borrowed from a broker with interest to purchase or short-sell securities -- is bad news. Although margin can multiply an investors' gains, it can also quickly magnify losses. While it's perfectly normal to see nominal outstanding margin debt grow over time, the speed of its increase in 2021 is very alarming. As of October, almost $936 billion in margin debt was outstanding, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. That's more than doubled since the midpoint of the previous decade. More importantly, margin debt rocketed higher by more than 70% earlier this year from the prior-year period. There have only been three instances since 1995 where margin debt surged over 60% in one year, according to analytics firm Yardeni Research.  It happened just before the dot-com bubble burst, months before the financial crisis, and in 2021. That doesn't bode well for the stock market.

Why You Shouldn't Just Skip Inflation.

Inflation is something that is been in our lives a long time ago but still, we don't care but we should. Prices of houses, services, goods and many more are only going up every year. Approximately inflation increases every year by about 6.2%! Like this, the money that we have saved in our bank account loses value over time. Now you thinking 'But banks give an annual return of 0.01% interest', yes well that's right but in front of 6.2% annual decrease of your money value, it isn't really a lot. But how exactly does inflation works and what can we do? Inflation Prediction 3% may not really be a lot but today since the prices going up and minimum wages remain the same then yeah it is a lot. But let's take a closer look.  $1,000 in 2011 is equivalent in purchasing power to about   $1,229.62   today, an increase of $229.62 over 10 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of   2.09% per year   between 2011 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of ...

Why Switzerland's Is So Rich

Image
Switzerland is a mountainous Central European country, home to numerous lakes, villages, and the high peaks of the Alps. Its cities contain medieval quarters, with landmarks like capital Bern’s Zytglogge clock tower and Lucerne’s wooden chapel bridge. The country is also known for its ski resorts and hiking trails. Banking and finance are key industries, and Swiss watches and chocolate are world-renowned. But how is Switzerland so rich and expensive? It all begins before the start of the world wars. Switzerland preferred to remain neutral and that had a huge impact on its economy and politics. When the war ended, while the whole of Europe was in ruins, Switzerland was hardly touched.  The two world wars of the 20th century showed that  Switzerland is capable of retaining its neutrality   while keeping all its industries and financial sector intact . That made the country been seen by the world's rich as a safe place to keep their money.  Indeed, much of the post-war ...
