How about a poll to predict the stock market? If these pollsters think they’re so smart that they can predict the outcome of the presidential election weeks in advance, why don’t they do something useful and have a poll to predict the stock market or something? I’d be curious to know what the stocks will be weeks in advance.

Such as: Do foreclosure increases affect the stock market and in what ways? What happens when deeds recorded decrease? What happens to the stock market when median home prices go down? What happens when new construction permits decrease? This is of course referring to residential real estate, but what about commercial real estate? Thank you very much for your input.

Matt Humberto asked:


I’m interested in “leveraged indexes” (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I’m twice as in trouble as I’d normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early “warning signs” to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!
Correction: By “recession” I meant a bear market. Sorry for the confusion of terms.
