It looks like the sell off is picking up steam

22. The safest bet in the world is that most stock predictions on DU will be wrong

I don't know where the market will end up at the end of 2018. It may well be down for the year. But it won't be the first down year since 2009. The Dow Jones was down 2.2 percent in 2015. https://www.yahoo.com/news/dow-p-500-end-2015-losses-capping-worst-211552449.html

And just because the market is down after the first quarter doesn't mean it will be down for the year. Again, it might well be. But, to pick a recent year, the market on December 31, 2015 was at 17425. Three months later it was up by less than 300 points. A year later it was up by over 2000 points.

The one thing about the market I'm pretty certain about, suggestions that the market might drop 7000-9000 points in the next few weeks are absurd. See: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210441143#post46
