Is anyone else worried about an upcoming market crash, similar to the dot com bubble?

(Personally) I wouldn’t say worried even if such a thing were to come about. Similar to how one man’s (or woman’s) trash is another man’s treasure, I am young in my career with little to lose and money to spend. The only thing missing is opportunity, which market catastrophie provides. As the saying goes, “the time to buy is when there’s blood in the streets.” Worrying about how others will be impacted is another story altogether, however.

Yes, but I’m early in my career, so I figure I’ll buy the dip, any money I (lose) will recover well before I need it, and I would be worse off trying to time the market

Not at all. I think we're headed for an historic stock market boom and the next 10 years will be analogous to the 90s.

All speculation. Money printer has been put into overdrive and the economy is closer to opening up so who knows if there will be a crash

Yes but maybe when the real economy opens up some of that money will flow out of assets and into real goods. I know the Fed are willing to ignore some inflation, but if it gets high enough they’ll be forced to act. Agree that it’s all speculation, but I’m finding it psychologically hard to keep ploughing money in when we’re at all time highs like this.

Value is relative to the risk free rate. QE and money printer have completely upended how markets view ‘value’. Markets only have to eventually be ‘rational’...which is not the same as making any damn sense nor being ‘fair’. So keep buying haha

Exactly to the above answers- think about the crash last March or a few years ago. At the time, it seemed like a huge loss. Then the market recovered to a higher place than it had been before. Just hold and don’t panic sell, trust the market

Yes. I feel the market is overvalued when comparing Wilshire 5000 to GDP ratio. This is a ratio made famous by Buffet...

70% of GDP= bargain
100% of GDP= fully priced market

As of Dec 2020 we were at 180%

That being said under that logic it has been fully priced for years (since like 2013) but has been >125% since like 2016. Fortunately I am young and will (hopefully) recover.

I’ll just add to my portfolio if it crashes, and buy a bunch of leaps. If I was able to trade puts too I would do that. The economy is like a very large ship, takes a while to turn and isn’t a quick crash. You can usually make adjustments as it happens to profit

There will be definitely be a big correction (aka “crash”). Then it should heal nicely afterwards.

Lol I was just messin

Probably eventually but doesn’t really matter. I’m 27, not taking any out and it’ll rebound eventually.

This and the inflation scaremongering remind me of the couple years just after the Great Recession when everyone was freaking out. Relax - trying to time the market will get you absolutely nowhere.

Think about the potential gains of shorting the SPY tho

Can people put age along with their opinions? I am early 40s, and I worry about a dip so I put a large chunk of cash aside.

What would be some catalysts to cause a crash?

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
