Pessimists are predicting a global crash in 2020. You can see why
There is a tendency for institutions that missed the warning signs before the last financial crisis to over-cook their doomsayer’s warnings as they consider the potential for another one. The International Monetary Fund leads a group of gloomy forecasters that worry about the stability of the global economy amid rising debt levels and slowing GDP growth. How long, they ask, can the expansion seen since the last crash go on before another recession hits?

Those recession fears now seem way overblown after 'scorching' jobs and manufacturing data
January's super strong jobs report and a solid manufacturing survey on Friday showed that recession worries may be overblown and slowdown fears are not impacting corporate hiring or dampening manufacturers' sentiment. The economy added a surprising 304,000 new jobs in January, well above the 165,000 expected by economists. Wages grew by an annual 3.2 percent, and were even higher for nonmanagerial workers with a 0.4 percent monthly gain.

Recession fears trigger 'sea of red' in stock markets as traders flee to safety
Asian stocks closed in the red with recessionary warnings front and center on Monday. The selloff on Friday bled into Monday trading, but seemed to stop at Asia as US futures and European stocks are broadly flat. The worries followed a yield curve inversion last Friday, which signalled the bond market's increasing concern about global growth and US recession. Weaker industrial data out of Germany and dovish moves by the Federal Reserve last week had also dampened sentiment.

Day Trading Disappointment Stories
Let’s not focus on my identity too much, because I am a pretty well-known character online. Let’s just say I received an email from a company that seemed pretty reliable and guaranteed that with their mentorship you can get to making $10,000 in a week. I invested the same amount into that promise, and guess what? Lost it all in a week to penny stocks.

Investors Increasingly Worried That Current Stock Market Mirrors 1987 Meltdown
Although the stock market may have hit a new all-time high recently, investors are feeling increasingly worried. According to one metric, fear is at its highest level in roughly 50 years. Will investors flock to alternative assets — like Bitcoin (BTC) — as a result? For many older investors, the 1987 stock market crash is like recounting a period in Hell. The crash then was the biggest single-day wipeout in history. Worst of all, it came after unprecedented growth — much like today. According to the Leuthold Group, some of the current stock market trends seem to point that we may be soon experiencing a repeat of that dark day.

A growing legion of debt-laden 'zombie consumers' has been enabled by low interest rates, economists say
Interest-rate cuts in the US have been cheered by Wall Street and the White House. To fend off a slowdown in the economy, the Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark interest rate a quarter percentage point to a target range of between 2% and 2.25% last month. Such a move typically lowers the cost of borrowing for credit cards, mortgages, and other loans.

Stocks appear detached from reality, rallying in anticipation of two things that may not happen
The new year is not even three full weeks old, and already half a trillion dollars has been added to the S&P 500′s value.
