Experts Are Warning About a Stock Market Crash. Here's What History Has to Say About It.
The stock market has been on fire over the past couple of years, and many investors have watched their portfolios soar. The S 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is up by more than 52% since it bottomed out in October 2022, while the tech-heavy (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has surged by nearly 67% in that time.
But these gains can't last forever, and there's no shortage of experts predicting what the next market downturn might look like. Economist Harry Dent recently said in an interview with Fox Business that the market is currently in the "bubble of all bubbles." And research firm Capital Economics predicts that the S 500 could face a correction after reaching the 6,500 mark, which analysts expect might happen by the end of 2025.
Many have compared this market surge -- which has been heavily fueled by excitement around artificial intelligence (AI) technology -- to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. That downturn ended up becoming the longest bear market in the S 500's history, and investors are understandably nervous about a similar slump in the near future.
