Volatility has return to what has been a relatively stable market, and many analysts are expecting a large correction to come. I know they’ve been saying that since last summer!

A correction will most likely occur but nobody really knows when, not even the smartest analysts, none of them predicted the mess that happened during December 2008 to March 2009. They can continue every week to say correction will happen, and I can say the Lakers will win the NBA Championship, even if they don’t win it this year (mostly likely they will) they could next year or the year after haha.

Here are a few quotes from analysts. I know their downers; you probably wouldn’t want to take these guys to dinner parties!

Dan Cook, senior market analyst at IG Markets, interviewed on CNBC, said During April or May, Cook he expects to see a 20 to 25 percent correction in the markets.

“It wouldn’t surprise me to see a range of 8,800 to 9,000 on the Dow,” he said. “There are a few individual stocks I like, but sector-by-sector, I’m definitely more bearish than what I am bullish.”

Dan Deighan, founder of Deighan Financial Advisors.

“I see the potential for a 25 to 50 percent drop,” he said. “It could be abrupt—it could take a month or so to happen.”

…

“For every dollar that went into stock funds in the last year, 13 dollars went into bond funds—we’ve got a huge, huge bond bubble right now.”

Bill Spiropoulos, chief executive of CoreStates Capital Advisors.

“Short-term, we’re in a little bit of a trouble.”

…

“In the last week, we were looking for a 5 to 10 percent correction, but we think it may be a little bit deeper than that—we’re going to go through 10 percent.”
