we havent had a crash since the dot com bust, but that wasnt really a crash since it was a bubble anyway.

1. yes
2. no
3. Do a little resurch and you will see that there have been many over the years.
4. I would say yes but only God knows the answer to all things.
5. I think what you need is help from God because he's the only one who truly knows what will happen in the next 10 years... not help from people who spend all their time answering questions on Yahoo.
6. Nobody knows that. Crash refers to panic selling and last one took place in October 1987. Certain changes have been applied since then and risk of crash is much lower. For example we have E-mini futures contracts traded outside regular exchange hours. In case of enormous number of sell orders before the opening bell money managers can hedge their positions with ES futures. This is just simplified example to show how different markets are these days. In reality there are many other instruments available now to hedge a risk.
7. Crashes normally come from various different causes. Sometimes they are the result of the bursting of a bubble. Sometimes the result of a geopolitical event. Sometimes an economic event. Sometimes just for the fun of it. Through out history there have been crashes or corrections repeatedly and almost assuredly one about every ten years or so. Based on history and probability I would say there is about an 85% probability. If you include all the stock markets in the world he probabilty rises to certainty.
8. Yes....possibly starting around 2010.... Post dot com was a crash depends on how you define the depth of a depression. The 1929 crash was never admitted to by the gov but portrayed as a minor recession. 5 years later they reasoned better. Post 2001 was the worst since in my life as the percentage of what may be called displacement of people by economic change of employment.
