10 Signs Another Stock Market Crash Is Coming

By Reuben Gregg Brewer - Jul 21, 2020 at 8:18 AM
Red line going steeply down through the floor as a man in business suit looks on.

Cause for concern?

At the start of 2020, few could have imagined the volatility that both Wall Street and Main Street would experience in a six month or so span. The list includes a bear market, a shockingly rapid bull market, COVID-19 and its massive (and global) economic impact, and a public movement calling for social change that started in the United States but that quickly went worldwide. These are unique times, but in the end, all times are unique.

Which brings up a saying that is, perhaps, of increasing importance today for investors. To paraphrase, history doesn't repeat itself, but it usually rhymes. And there are a large number of worrying signs that the market is heading for a crash. Here are 10 signs that long-term investors should look at and understand right now before it's too late.
