You want too much, since nobody can give you that answer. I have long believed the blow-up will be the eventual fate of the derivative bubble, but timing is crucial, and "now" is quite possible. I look at some technicals Here is some solid data that shows the stock market rally was entirely synthetic, cyborg-generated, with very little genuine buying from investors. plansponsor.com "Stock fund flows, when excluding Emerging Markets, were only around $30 billion, which SI said demonstrated that while spiking stock prices worldwide are signaling economic recovery, investors in stock mutual funds remain cautious and ambivalent about the recovery. Emerging markets funds (diversified or single country) captured about $55 billion during 2009. Altogether, long-term mutual funds (stock and bond funds and ETFs) saw total net inflows of $478 billion in 2009 - led by taxable bond funds (net inflows of $324 billion) and international equity funds (net inflows of $75 billion). SI said a limited appetite for risk restrained demand for U.S. equity funds in 2009, resulting in net inflows of just $6 billion." So, the question then is, who was the buyer? If my answer is correct, then what will the markets do without that buyer?
