Suppose the following events occur in the exact order next week: 1) Stock Market Crash of similar magnitude to 1987. The DOW drops to below 10,000 in a single day. 2) An earthquake of similar strength as the 1906 one strikes with its epicenter right in the heart of San Francisco or Los Angeles. If both events were to occur for real next week and in this order, where do you see the US Economy in 1 year from today?
