Five Reasons the Market Could Crash This Fall

I can barely find an article or a blogger saying that the bull market is here to stay, everyone is in total agreement that the market has run it's course, there is no fundamental reason for it to keep going up, but plenty of reasons to go down... I can't say that I disagree... But what is troubling is this consensus - markets usually drop when the majority doesn't expect it to do so, but every pundit on TV and online seems to be shorting the market right now...

Now, I'm certainly sticking to cash right now, but I'm very curious what's going to happen... I almost expect the market go past 10,000 DJI before dropping down.

Any thoughts on this "consensus" about the market drop?

Two New Dogs To Watch: Citigroup, Pfizer

I definitely agree with you here. I have not looked at Pfizer much, but Citi is looking very attractive right now: actual dividend yield is about 6.7%. But I'm also in the waiting mode - until after the Dec 11th Fed meeting, which will let us know whether the correction will turn into recession or not. Fed has previously expressed sentiment in regard to the markets still being "bad", but they don't want to make any more cuts. If they don't make any rate cuts on Dec 11th, that will be bad, very very bad.
