One of an indicator for a market crash is the value of VIX index. Attached a 4 years weekly chart
Market will crash when VIX is higher than 40
stable when lower than 20
in between 20 to 40  means on unstable ground.  ( todayVIX =  22.37)

When market crash we should have the list of ETF ready to trade . Attach is the list of  Ultra short ETF.

hope this help my friend

Good day, sulifeisgreat & all here.....

myself is noobie here & really hope u do not close this thread down....
i am sure there are many who like myself, are just getting into the investing arenas & have yet to familiarise ourselves with the US markets... thus we remain rather quiet even though we singgah this thread almost everyday to get the latest updates....

anyway, i really enjoy learning from the guys here as there are many trading terms & methods which I have yet to learn & it really open up my horizons...
personally, i am one of those so call "buffett-wannabe" as i do prefer the long term fundamental analytical approach with little or minimal risk style.... i got more involved in KLSE in June 09 & ever since then, has been crunching many numbers & statements & i must say, it does give us a snapshot of what is happening in the respective field of business....

right now, i am trying to learn the other school of investing, ie trading (short term & largely volatile)..... i am not entirely enticed by the quick profits or "fast money"(as some would call it in layman terms).... but to learn it so that i can look at shares from another perspective & trade when i am ready (at least with a sizeable capital)...

if possible, i would like to combine both long term investing & short term trading to create something of an optimal investment portfolio for myself in time to come......

anyway, DJ is 10k above...!! happy trading!!
