Welcome to The Stock Market Crash

              -- "A down-to-earth website about the downturn."

The global financial systems are experiencing an unprecedented crisis. Markets around the world are in a highly volatile state. Every now and then, we do come across "bear market rallies" - short bursts of upward price movement, only to be followed by even more severe downdrafts. The phrase - stock market crash - has now kind of turned into a household term.

Were you a victim of the stock market crash?

• Did you trade with significant amounts of money and found yourself to be always on the wrong side of the trade, be it long or short?
• Did you have significant positions in the stock market, on the long or short side, and watch helplessly as your portfolio essentially evaporated into thin air?
• Did you have bulk of your retirement money in financial instruments that were tied to the stock market and hence experienced a 30-40% reduction in your hard-earned retirement funds? And, the moment you realized this and moved the money out of stock-based funds, did you watch, once again helplessly, as the markets rocketed up like there was no tomorrow?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, you are not alone. Investors and traders around the world have lost a lot of money in the stock market crash, and the associated bear market rallies. Together, let's see what we can do to avoid being in the next stock market crash.
