Today the Federal Reserve is meeting, and they will announce their position on interest rates tomorrow. I watched the business news and those interviewed seemed to think the Fed will not raise rates. This could be a positive for stocks. Many economists and financial experts believe we may have a soft landing with no recession after all. Some are even saying that they expect a runup in tech stocks later in the year. This may be what happens, but I can’t ignore continuing troubling dreams that appear to relate to the stock market.
I recently had another dream that could relate to the
financial markets. The dream used the theme of a football team, which may have
been the Dallas Cowboys, often referred to as America’s team. In the dream, people
had rushed to support them investing large sums of money. The cheerleaders had
invested their savings in the team as they cheered the team on. Then things
went terribly wrong and there was a huge collapse; the losses were enormous. The
cheerleaders lost most of their investment and wanted to know how to get their
money back. But it was gone, and the team was a mess. It was only worth a
fraction of its previous value. I told them there was no way they could recover
their investments.
A time horizon was not given in the dream, but dreams like
this normally do not precede the event by a long period. My experience with my
dreams is that if the event is going to occur, it will occur in weeks or months
at most. If this dream does relate to the financial markets, I think the period
from now through the end of the year is a critical time. I suspect that if
there is a stock market collapse, we will have little warning. Something will
happen that causes the big money managers to decide to unload their stocks. Then
panic will set in.
There are things investors can do to protect themselves in
the event of a market crash or just a selloff. If you are an investor and are
concerned, check with a financial advisor for advice. Also, check your holdings
to see how they are rated in terms of risk and look to see how they have
performed in previous major selloffs. In a true crash good stocks are taken
down as well bad ones as everything is sold, but percentage wise they may lose less than the average stock loss. And they will usually recover more quickly as the market stabilizes. The
stocks that lose the most are the more speculative ones.
I am not a financial advisor and cannot tell anyone what to
do concerning their investments. During my lifetime, my dreams have often been
precognitive. So, I am making available dreams that occur that may relate to
conditions beyond my individual life. Dreams that are about the economy,
politics, weather, and other general topics are included.
