									On this 26th anniversary of the 1987 
									stock-market crash, the worst one-day drop 
									in U.S. history, it's worth asking whether 
									such an event could happen again.
									
									According to a number of researchers, the 
									answer is yes. And that is a sobering 
									thought indeed, since the Dow Jones 
									Industrial Average fell 22.6% on Oct. 19, 
									1987. An equivalent drop today would take 
									more than 3,400 points off the Dow in a 
									single session.
									
									The stock market is overvalued and a crater 
									in values may be next. So what should you be 
									doing right now?
									
									Most Americans contribute to the stock 
									market through their 401(k) at work. Each 
									paycheck has a set amount deducted from it 
									(a process known as "dollar cost averaging") 
									and it's kind of a set-it-and-forget-it 
									thing. But now might be a good time to pay a 
									little closer attention to your 
									investments.  
									
									
									Check your portfolio. When 
									is last time you actually looked at your 
									holdings? The first thing to do is a 
									checkup. Figure out if your asset allocation 
									makes sense for you. For many people, what 
									makes the most sense is a target retirement 
									fund. You select the year closest to when 
									you want to retire and simply put all your 
									money into it. Then the fund manager adjusts 
									the risk level over your working years. 
									
									
									
									
									Know your retirement horizon. If 
									you have 20 or 30 working years ahead of 
									you, don't worry about what's going on 
									today. Just keep dollar cost averaging. Do 
									not allow news of today to take your off the 
									target you are trying to achieve, which is 
									long term financial security.
									
									
									
									Don't put money in employer stock. When 
									you take your 401(k) money and put it in 
									employer stock, it's like putting all your 
									eggs in one basket. You're getting your 
									paycheck from your employer and you're 
									hoping to build up a healthy retirement on 
									your employer's back. Doing it that way 
									ignores that companies have a lifecycle just 
									like people. They do well for a period and 
									then they may lose their way over time.
									
									
									Investing should be dull so 
									you get to live an exciting life. A lot of 
									people think investing should be exciting 
									because they live dull lives. I say exactly 
									the opposite. That's how you survive if a 
									stock market crash comes.

While some individual stocks (cough TWTR cough) may have reached irrational 
bubble territory, the US equity market is undergoing a seemingly 'rational' 
bubble. However, as John Hussman illustrates in the following chart, the probability 
of a stock market crash is growing extremely rapidly.

Based on the this 
paper, Hussman simplifies the rational bubble as:
	
	
	You only hold one long one more period if expected return is 
	positive - requiring EXTRAGAIN x (1-p) + CRASHLOSS x (p) to be greater than 
	0.
As John 
goes on to explain, The 
diva is already singing, the only question is how long they hold the note...
Regardless of last week’s slight tapering of the Federal Reserve’s policy of 
quantitative easing, speculators 
appear intent on completing the same bubble pattern that has attended a score of 
previous financial bubbles in equity markets, commodities, and other assets 
throughout history and across the globe.
The chart below provides some indication of our broader concerns here. The 
blue lines indicate the points of similarly overvalued, overbought, overbullish, 
rising-yield conditions across history (specific definitions and variants of 
this syndrome can be found in numerous prior weekly comments). Sentiment figures 
prior to the 1960’s are imputed based on the relationship between sentiment and 
the extent and volatility of prior market fluctuations, which largely drive that 
data. Most of the prior instances of this syndrome were not as extreme as at 
present (for example, valuations are now about 35% above the overvaluation 
threshold for other instances, overbought conditions are more extended here, and 
with 58% bulls and only 14% bears, 
current sentiment is also far more extreme than necessary). So we can certainly 
tighten up the criteria to exclude some of these instances, but it’s fair to say 
that present conditions are among the most extreme on record.
This chart also provides some indication of our more recent frustration, as even 
this variant of “overvalued, overbought, overbullish, rising-yield” conditions 
emerged as early as February of this year and has appeared several times in the 
past year without event. My 
view remains that this does not likely reflect a permanent change in market 
dynamics – only a temporary deferral of what we can expect to be quite negative 
consequences for the market over the completion of this cycle.
 
 

 
Narrowing our focus to the present advance, what concerns us isn’t 
simply the parabolic advance featuring increasingly immediate impulses to buy 
every dip – which is how we characterize the psychology behind log-periodic 
bubbles (described by Didier 
Sornette inWhy Markets Crash). It’s that this parabola is 
attended by so many additional and historically regular hallmarks of late-phase 
speculative advances. Aside from strenuously overvalued, overbought, 
overbullish, rising-yield conditions, speculators are using record amounts of 
borrowed money to speculate in equities, with NYSE margin debt now close to 2.5% 
of GDP. This is a level seen only twice in history, briefly at the 2000 and 2007 
market peaks. Margin debt is now at an amount equal to 26% of all commercial and 
industrial loans in the U.S. banking system. Meanwhile, we are again hearing 
chatter that the Federal Reserve has placed a “put option” or a “floor” under 
the stock market. As I observed at the 2007 peak, 
before the market plunged 55%, “Speculators hoping for a ‘Bernanke put’ to save 
their assets are likely to discover – too late – that the strike price is way out 
of the money.”
The following chart is not a forecast, and certainly not something to be 
relied upon. It does, however, provide an indication of how 
Sornette-type bubbles have ended in numerous speculative episodes in history, in 
equities, commodities, and other assets, both in the U.S. and abroad. We are 
already well within the window of a “finite-time singularity” – the endpoint of 
such a bubble, but it is a feature of parabolas that small changes in the 
endpoint can significantly change the final value. The 
full litany of present conditions could almost be drawn from a textbook of 
pre-crash speculative advances. We 
observe the lowest bearish sentiment in over a quarter century, speculation in 
equities using record levels of margin debt, depressed mutual fund cash levels, 
heavy initial public offerings of stock, record issuance of low-grade “covenant 
lite” debt, strikingly rich valuations on a wide range of measures that closely 
correlate with subsequent market returns, faith that the Fed has put a “floor” 
under the market (oddly the same faith that investors relied on in 2007), and 
the proliferation of “this 
time is different” adjustments to historically reliable investment measures.
 

 
Even at 1818 on the S&P 500, we 
have to allow for the possibility that speculators have not entirely had their 
fill. In my view, the proper 
response is to maintain a historically-informed discipline, but with limited 
concessions (very small call option positions have a useful contingent profile) 
to at least reduce the temptation to capitulate out of undisciplined, 
price-driven frustration. Regardless of whether the market maintains its 
fidelity to a “log-periodic bubble,” we’ll continue to align our position with 
the expected return/risk profile as it shifts over time. That said, the 
“increasingly immediate impulses to buy every dip” that characterize market 
bubbles have now become so urgent that we have to allow for these waves to 
compress to a near-vertical finale.
The present log-periodic bubble suggests that this speculative frenzy 
may very well have less than 5% to run between current levels and the third 
market collapse in just over a decade.
As I advised in 2008 just 
before the market collapsed, be very alert to increasing volatility at 10-minute 
intervals.
 
Doomsday poll: still a 98% risk of 2014 stock crash
Commentary: Psychological realities as new year dawns end irrational exuberance
 
by Paul B. Farrell 
1-18-14
 MarketWatch
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, “Doomsday poll: 98% risk of 2014 
stock crash” was my midyear headline. And yes, it still fits. Why? Because in 
the new year, after the irrational exuberance of the “Christmas rally” passes, 
reality will set in.
Remember the dark warnings from last January through the fall? Fed even saw an 
“unsustainable bubble” ... Bill Gross: “Credit Supernova” ... Jeffrey Gundlach: 
“Kaboom Ahead” ... Charlie Ellis: “Don’t own bonds” ... Gary Shilling: “Shocker” 
... Nouriel Roubini: “Prepare for perfect storm” ... Peter Schiff “doubling 
down” on his “doomsday” prediction ... InvestmentNews’s warning to 90,000 
advisers: “Tick, tick ... boom!”
Then a sudden, dramatic psychological twist: The investors’ collective brain 
tired of the negativity in mid-October after the last bearish headline: “America’s 
economic guillotine dead ahead.” A 
week later the reversal: “2014 
‘Year of the Boom’ bet on the bulls,”quoting Bank of America’s chief 
strategist: “Bulls roaring. Hot race to the New Year. Then beyond into a 
booming, bullish 2014 rally ... Great Gatsby’s spirit is back in America. Top 
billing. Let the good times roll. Come join the party.”
By November irrational exuberance was accelerating, in full holiday mode: 
Headline,“Shiller’s 
hot P/Es powering a ‘Roaring Bull’ till 2017,” dubbed 
the 2014 “Katy Perry market.” A week later, another headline added: “10 
reasons to be a bull in 2014.”
But why the shift from doomsday to Katy Perry’s Roaring Bull?
Was it just America coming out of the summer doldrums? Why so sudden? So big? 
Why after all the dark early 2013 bear warnings from respected gurus, Gross, 
Gundlach, Ellis, Shilling, Schiff, Shiller, plus InvestmentNews? Yes, investor 
sentiment rose. Stocks on a bull run. Hot news shifting as fast as market 
volatility in today’s social media.
But what happened? Summers withdrew from Fed competition, calming Wall Street? 
Obamacare crashed, reenergizing the GOP? Ted Cruz and Miley Cyrus distracted us 
from reality? Now, holidays, shopping, celebrations, movies, bonuses, welcomed 
diversions?
But what really happened? And why? Was it as simple as Americans got 
psychologically exhausted, tired of all the bad news, the relentless political 
warfare? We just needed a collective breather? So we jumped on the good news 
wave? It took on a life of its own?
After New Year’s, will irrational exuberance cool, disappear?
Is all this “Great Gatsby” and “Katy Perry Roaring Bull” just hype? 
Distractions? An emotional “Christmas Rally?” ... a brief dose of “irrational 
exuberance?” ... and after New Year’s parties, when Wall Street cashes bonuses 
... when the next debt-limit fight triggers ... when Yellen’s Fed stops printing 
cheap money ... when the 2014 political battles really heat up ... when we wake 
up with New Year’s hangovers, remember all the earlier warnings from Gross and 
the bears ... will a bear recession take down the markets? After all, this bull 
market is in the fifth year of an average four-year bull.
What do your see? Comment: Will 2014 be more bull? Or a new bear? And why the 
shift? To help you, here’s what we reported on this past year, with links to the 
columns:
Gary Shilling: warns of ‘42% decline in S&P ... and global recession’
“With a global recession depressing corporate revenues, unsustainable profit 
margins and currency translation losses spawned by a robust dollar.” In early 
January Shilling saw “S&P 500 operating earnings ... a quarter below Wall Street 
consensus. Throw in a bear market P/E low of 10 and the S&P 
500 Index drops to 800, a 42% decline.”
Bill Gross: “Credit supernova dead ahead”
In February, Gross warned of a “credit 
supernova.” Pimco has $2 trillion 
at risk if the Fed’s cheap money explodes, brings down the economy. Worse, 
“investment banking, which only a decade ago promoted small-business development 
... now is dominated by leveraged speculation and the Ponzi finance.”
Nouriel Roubini: Global collapse, ‘prepare for perfect storm’
Roubini on Slate: “Sooner or later, another ugly fight” over debt, and markets 
get “spooked.” Any one trend 
“would be enough to stall the global economy, tip it into recession.”
InvestmentNews: Bond crash coming, ‘Tick, tick ... boom!’
InvestmentNews March front page was so overwhelming, you could hear sirens 
flashing, warning in huge bold type: “Tick, 
tick ... boom!” Their readers, 
90,000 advisers, trust INews forecasts. Warning: Millions of investors have “no 
idea what’s about to happen.”
	
	ary Shilling: ‘Shocker’ will trigger before Bernanke resigns
	
	Long-time Forbes columnist warned of a “grand disconnect” driving “stocks 
	around the world while the zeal for yield, amidst low interest rates ... 
	suggests an expanding bubble.” Shilling sees a black swan, a 
	grand “shocker” coming.
	
	David Stockman: ‘Get out of market now and hide in cash’
	
	“Stop the Fed from micromanaging the economy,” said Stockman in March: “No 
	more cheap money, debt buybacks, investing in private companies.” Restore 
	“Fed’s original mission: to provide liquidity in times of crisis.” Getting 
	“the Fed out of the financial markets is the only way to put free markets 
	and genuine wealth creation back into capitalism ... If this sounds like 
	advice to get 
	out of the markets and hide out in cash, it is.”
	
	Gary Shilling: Expanded on 9 signs global GDP will fall near zero
	
	Shilling sees “another eight years of slow growth of about 2% in real GDP 
	per year.” Plus “continuing deleveraging” due to nine megatrends slowing 
	global growth to near zeroover the next generation.
	
	Charlie Ellis: Advice to long-term investors, ‘don’t own bonds’
	
	Back in April the author of the classic “Winning the Loser’s Game: Timeless 
	Strategies for Successful Investing” said: “The best piece of advice I could 
	give long-term investors today is don’t 
	own bonds. And if you do own them ... move out of them.”
	
	Jeffrey Gundlach: Bond guru sees ‘Kaboom’ ahead
	
	“Kaboom 
	ahead,” said Bloomberg about Doubleline Capital’s CEO. Real damage yet 
	to come, an “ominous third phase” whose impact will “far exceed the damage 
	of 2008.” He’s buying hard assets, “sitting on cash” waiting to scoop up 
	deals at “fire-sale” prices.
	
	Bill Gross: Warning, the ‘30-year bond bull market ended on April 29’
	
	Bonds started dropping in late 2012. Gross made it official here, the 30-year 
	bull market was dead . His 
	Pimco firm had capitalized on the run, build a $2 trillion portfolio.
	
	Societe Generale strategist: ‘Bubble with no name’ near popping
	
	In April strategist Kit Juckes warns we’re all trapped in the fourth 
	“mega-bubble” fueled by the Fed since the rise of conservative economics, 
	the “Bubble 
	with no name yet.” And “it’s 
	close to popping, like the Asian, Dot-com and Credit crashes.”
	
	Peter Schiff: Doubling down on his doomsday prediction
	
	Euro Pacific Capital CEO Peter Schiff, author of “The Real Crash: America’s 
	Coming Bankruptcy,” is “not 
	backing away from doomsday predictions” wrote MarketWatch’s Greg Robb. A 
	week earlier Schiff warned: “I am 100% confident the crisis that we’re going 
	to will be much worse than the one we had in 2008.” Yes, 100%.
	
	Federal Reserve Board: ‘Unsustainable bubble’ stocks, bonds
	
	Fed’s Advisory Council’s May meeting: Members expressed “strong concerns 
	over the Fed’s low-interest-rate policies and its bond-purchase program, 
	which they say could trigger unmanageable inflation and an ‘unsustainable 
	bubble’.”
	
	New Doomsday poll: 98% risk of 2014 stock crash
	
	We summarized crash warnings since early in 2013. Bubbles appeared 
	everywhere by June. Ready to blow. Only one obvious conclusion: “Max 
	98% risk at a flashpoint, with a 2014 crash virtually guaranteed. Only a 
	2% chance of dodging the bullet.”
	
	Terry Burnham: ‘Lizard brains,’ denial, ‘devastating decline’
	
	In July, former hedge fund manager and author of “Mean Markets and Lizard 
	Brains” predicted: We’ll see “Dow 
	5,000 before we see Dow 20,000.”
	
	Robert Shiller: ‘Bubbles Forever’ and irrational exuberance is back
	
	Millions of investors were searching for the elusive “new, new normal,” 
	something better than today’s heart-pounding uncertainties. In July 
	Shiller’s “Bubbles Forever” warned that “irrational exuberance” was back in 
	America ... temporarily. Then in November cameShiller’s 
	hot P/Es and the “Katy Perry Market,” as 
	America’s sexy new bell-ringer distracted us with a Christmas Rally and 
	upbeat holiday spirit ... temporarily.

MAJOR STORE LAYOFFS
PLANO (CBS 11 NEWS) – 
Plano-based J.C. Penney has announced the closure of 33 stores nationwide. The 
stores are located in 20 different states across the country, and company 
officials insist none are planned for closing in Texas. According to a statement 
released by J.C. Penney the move is in efforts to get rid of under-performing 
stores and save the company $65 million a year.
Myron E. Ullman III, the CEO of the company said in part, “As we continue to 
progress toward long-term profitable growth, it is necessary to reexamine the 
financial performance of our store portfolio and adjust our national footprint 
accordingly.”
J.C. Penney’s customers in North Texas were quick to react to the news fearing 
closures in other states will ultimately mean a negative effect  to it’s stores 
in Texas.
Taire Loredo, a J.C. Penney customer from Fort Worth said, “”If it’s going to 
close somewhere else then I’m pretty sure we are going to get hit with it soon.”
The closure of the 33 stores means about 2,000 jobs will be eliminated. For 
those employees who are not staying with the company, J.C. Penney says they will 
be offered separation benefits packages.
The program encourages students to report incidents immediately and even offers 
an option to do it anonymously.

CURRENT LAYOFFS
Walmart To Lay Off 2,300 Sam's Club Employees
Walmart plans to lay off roughly 2,300 employees of 
Sam's Club, the retail giant's membership-only club, CNBC reported via Twitter 
Friday. A large number of those getting laid off will be assistant managers at 
stores with weak sales, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Sam's Club on its own is the eighth largest retailer in the country, 
according to the company's website. More from the Associated Press:
	Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is eliminating 2,300 workers at its Sam's Club division 
	as it reduces the ranks of middle managers in a bid to be more nimble.
	The layoffs, which cut 2 percent of the membership club's employee count of 
	about 116,000, mark the largest since 2010 when the Sam's Club unit laid off 
	10,000 workers as it moved to outsource food demonstrations at its stores.
	
	Bill Durling, a spokesman at Sam's Club, says that a little less than half 
	of the cuts were aimed at salaried assistant managers. It is also 
	eliminating some hourly workers.
	
	The cuts come as Sam's Club strives to compete with Costco Wholesale Corp. 
	and online players like Amazon.com's Prime membership service.
