I think it's still the perfect storm it has been for years now:
Interest rates suck. Too much fear to invest in Europe. China, North Korea and Japan are rattling sabers to some extent. Housing market is doing better but still has not recovered.
So ya got 50 million to invest somewhere? Stocks it is. The market can't crash if there's nowhere else to put your money.
I also wonder how much a nation that's turning towards stock based retirement accounts essentially just turns into a never-ending firehose of money that hardly changes based on the economy. It's not like people feel a bump and pull their money out of stocks -- most of them are in automated accounts and stay invested and keep putting money in so long as they are employed.
Next crash will have to come from a spike in unemployment or interest rate hikes.
