I don't think they can crash. I think stocks can correct, but I think it's worth it to continue owning stocks and bonds as long as they continue QE, even a small QE, while holding rates at zero. It's just a formula for stocks and bonds to continue to go up. But I don't really know anything. I'm just taking guesses now, like everyone else. Fundamental analysis on companies is dead. It's all just a casino now.

Housing Starts, Permits Miss As Rental Euphoria FizzlesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/16/2014 - 08:51 While both the Housing Starts and Permits data reported moments ago disappointed - and sorry, you can't blame it on weather this time - with both sets of data missing expectations (Starts 946K, Exp. 970K up from a revised 920K; Permits 990K, Exp. 1010K down from a revised 1014K), the real story was in the composition of single family vs multi-family, or rental units, which showed that the previously reported rental euphoria has well and truly fizzled after a dead cat bounce in last 2013 could not be sustained. And perhaps more importantly, the complete lack of any real bounce in single-family housing, which remains at levels seen in late 2012 for starts, and is now rolling over for permits, confirms that the so-called hosing recovery not only slipped right through the vast majority of normal people, but even Wall Street is finally pulling out as builders themselves realize.
