Stock Market to Crash on Monday?
BBC NEWS | Business | Big share falls feared on Monday
Could we be in for another stock market crash on Monday?.. almost 20 years to the day of 'black Monday' when the market crashed in the 80's.
Stocks do look surprisingly highly priced considering the current economic situation and outlook.
In for a fell of over 250points on the FTSE I reckon.

You'll be able to have a look see in an hour or so. Start off with Aus, NZ, Hong Kong, Japan and follow the sun....
Personally, I'd be surprised if we have a 250er. Maybe 1/2 that. We closed down lots on Friday after a nervy start. On the flip side, I can't quite believe how quickly the FTSE shot back up after the credit crunch.
Having written that, I'm waiting for the Turks. Come on chaps, invade Northern Iraq, then I can sell by Shell shares at a premium. Says he who sold his Turkey ETF on Thursday... Cluck cluck.

It never ceases to amaze me the complete lack of basic English skills there are in English people.
Do you not care how much of a dick you look making basic mistakes like this? especially as you are obviously fairly intelligent considering you are talking about shares. Allow me to correct your basic tense mistake for you.

America goes for a potential nosedive so they just cut the interest rate to save the land of the free.Same here in the UK
Can they really keep doing that? Can it spiral out of the Banks control altogether?

One of the main reasons stock markets go up is inflation. As prices rise, so does income. Costs also rise, but so does profit. (Assuming it all rises at the same rate, the "buying power" remains the same). As profit rises so does company valuation and hence so does share price. All in line with inflation.
Another factor is that people pump in money to the stock market every month in the form of pensions contribution. All the money cant be left in the bank (poor returns) so gets invested in the market. More demand for shares = rising prices.
Lastly you have selection bias - crap companies that dont grow and have bad business models, cant adapt etc never get very far and hence never make it to the top 350 companies (which represents something like 98% of the market value). Hence the ones that do are more likely to grow and be successful and have rising share prices.
So 3 main reasons why the normal behaviour of stock markets is up.

Over recent years, the stock market has made huge gains. Since there's been a sniff of stability, post 9/11, Afganistan and Iraq.
These can't merely be be put down to inflation and rising costs. New markets or technologies, rising demands for raw materials and the greater globalisation of processes all play their part.
USA could still upset the apple cart. It's the primary market for a lot of the far east. Though it's interesting that China may now be China's own greatest market, and growing.
