2013 Market Crash?

[JonnyReb]

 I had an interesting conversation with a customer yesterday. It was in one of the biggest homes I've ever worked in, and the lady of the house informed me that it had belonged to a fairly nationally famous builder who had lost everything a few years ago. The homeowners husband was a big name stockmarket guru.

 As the customer got more used to me as well as caught me playing Rush L. at lunch, she ask me my thoughts on the country and where we were right now. I kept it light but expressed displeasure at the countries current path and issued fears for its future. She surprised me by saying that the country was falling and that stocks were going to be boosted artificially high soonc in order to allow big names and big investors to extract themselves from the market with their money. Then it was going to crash. She told me to watch for the highs and to get out early. Then she ask if i'd bought gold or silver, then said her husband was OUT in march and that they had a farm in Missouri they were headed to with the intention of being completely self sufficient as America was going to collapse.

 Now I'll go with a conspiracy more so than the average guy probably but I have to say the lady gave me chills with some of her supposed insider predictions. I go home and google "market crash 2013". I'm not suprised by some of the conspiracy type articles but am a surprised to see the ladies predictions being echoed in places like CNN, Marketwatch and lots of other well known analytical type publications, quite a few left wing even.

 Just wondering if others have been hearing similar tales and what ya'll think our future holds.. jeff

Oh yeah, then I hear tonight on the news that we busted 14000 on the Dow today, highest since 07(right before the 08\ 09 crash). All that in spite of the feeble economy?

Could be. Those experts do seem to have a track record of accurately predicting these things, eh?
