Is the Stock Market Going to Crash?

Posted by Lorren on April 25, 2011

QE2 is going to end in June. QE2 is where the Federal Reserve prints a ton of extra cash. They’re going to stop printing cash then, unless they start QE3.

The Federal Reserve is going to have its first press conference ever on Wednesday. Wonder what they are going to say? George Soros recently was part of Bretton Woods III (a meeting where they discussed the world’s economy). Could that have anything to do with what the press conference has going on?

I don’t have money in stock right now… my grandma might have some money in a fund for me, but everything that I have a choice in is not in stock. I asked my grandma to get out of stock in 2007. While I don’t have much, the little that I do have is in other, more useful investments. I’m thinking about looking at more useful investments.

Stocks are doing well now, but they’re also being propped up by all that extra money. What happens if they stop printing it?

I’m not a financial advisor, but I do know that you should only invest in what you are familiar with and are comfortable with. If you’re educated, great. If you’re not, make sure that you are comfortable with you’re invested in.
