The 3 Forces Behind a Market Crash, the way Benjamin Graham saw it>>>>>>>>>>>>>
By Bill Barker
February 15, 2007

There have been a lot of new highs reached in the market over the past few weeks and months. All-time highs if your scoring system is the Dow Jones Industrial Average (AMEX: DIA), and five- or six-year highs if you prefer the S&P 500 (AMEX: SPY).

And so there has been much generally bandied about regarding whether the market is due, almost due, or past due for a "crash." Because if there are sound reasons to fear a market crash, then it's time to come up with a decent alternative to sinking new money into the market.

Indications of a coming crash
Back in 1934, Benjamin Graham -- the father, grandfather, founder, and creator of securities analysis -- wrote that there are three forces behind a market crash.

1. The manipulation of stocks.
2. The lending of money to buy stocks.
3. Excessive optimism.

Let's assess the level of each today>
