How to Predict a Crash

If we could predict it, we would have all retired billionaires a long time ago.

No.. you are wrong.. it wont be a "Mortgage Bubble".. (maybe you meant "housing" bubble?) the "housing" crash was due to toxic mortgages.. but those loan's do not exist any more.. in fact, underwriting guidelines got so strict that only the best could get financing.. that's starting to taper off now, but none the less if the "Housing Market" crashes.. it wont be because of mortgages.. the increase in home values has been stable, steady and consistent.. and in a healthy market, there are up's and downs.. but a crash happens when something major happens.. Interest rates jumping up 3% in a few months would definitely create havoc, you would see things slow down quickly.. but probably not a crash.. If we went to war,, that could be bad.. if the US dollar collapses, it would be catastrophic.. many things could cause a housing or economic crash.. and no one has a crystal ball to know if and when it will happen.. As far as another huge rate hike? Since President Trump got elected, the markets have been going strong.. and typically, during these strong markets, inflation can get out of control.. so the Federal Reserve will step in and raise the "intraday rates" given to financial institutions.. this rate hike is designed to slow the growth and keep inflation under control... so as the markers continue to blaze upward, expect rates to continue to rise..
