The Worst That Can Happen

I'm not a market or economic prognosticator. I tend to invest based on established trends - I don't call market tops or bottoms. I'm willing to give up a little on the ends to maintain a safe and conservative portfolio.

That said, Big Jake at Seeking Alpha has ten very dire predictions for the future - here's three to get you started.

Prediction One: The twenty-five-year equities bubble pops in 2009.
Prediction Two: Public pensions and 401k holders wiped out.
Prediction Three: Millions of retirees will be left virtually penniless.

I'm definitely not as negative as Jake, but I still found this an interesting article and one every conservative investor should read. It could happen. Hell, anything could happen.
