Earlier this week Time published an interview with Mary Ann Bartels, stock market technical analyst at Bank of America/Merrill Lynch regarding the current state of the stock market and gets her opinion on whether or not the stock market will go back down.

I've always thought of the stock market as unpredictable. What analysts say is pure speculation.

Mike over at The Oblivious Investor tells us why the stock market is unpredictable:

Of course, stock prices do change over time. In fact, they’re constantly changing. Why? Because people’s expectations for the underlying companies are in a permanent state of fluctuation. New information comes to light on a daily basis that either improves or worsens the outlook for the companies in which we’re investing.
What are your thoughts?

    Stock markets will go up and down... it's just the way they work.
    I think it's a nice post as some people really think that once the markets go up they'll always go up.
