Every 7 years we have a meltdown. Review the prior one (before the mortgage bubble), the dot.com bubble. We have a new one brewing. Who wants to guess what the new bubble is going to be?

I don't know. I just look at high dollar industries, and who profits when they get severely shorted. I think a few defense contractors will probably fall. Maybe a tech giant or two that is over valued. A whole lot of small fish under those will crash, too, though.
