OK, I don't want to be accused of being the new Lord Jamjar but here is a theory. I really hope this is total rubbish and could never happen and that people will completely disprove this.
In the past the stock market has seemed to predict world events. For example on 6 Sep 2001 the Dow decisively broke below 10,000 and we all know what followed on 11 Sep sending the index crashing 2000 points. Many other crashes have been associated with global events, such as the Asian crisis, oil shocks etc but they have also coincided with breaks on the indicies below major psychological points.
At the moment most major indices have rallied above significant levels. The dow at 9000, the FTSE at 4000, Dax 3000. Could a break below these levels predict a major global event leading to a big crash?
Coupled with that is the big head and shoulders pattern of which we are just retesting the neckline of now, should this fail and the pattern completes then the target for the dow is sub 4000.
Some Elliot Wave theorist also claim that a Grand Super-cycle Collapse began in 2000 leading to a target of Dow 400 (four hundred).
So the stock market is predicting a catastrophic world event, where is that likely to come from?
Sun-Tzu in the 'Art of War' says: 'if strong, feign weakness' and 'if unified, project division'.
Is it strange that Saddam Hussain allowed his country to be 'liberated' so easily by the Americans? No Scud attacks on Israel, no real resistance, he just disappeared. Doesn't it now look as though America attacked a small defenseless country for no good reason other than increasing American Power in the world and controlling oil supplies? 'If unified, project division'.
Wasn't it a bit strange that the cold war ended so suddenly with Russia just seeming to give in to Western capitalism. Russia used to have more Nukes than America, what happened to them all and why did they back down so easily and let the West think that we had won? 'If strong, feign weakness'.
The World is now worried that America is the Worlds only superpower and seems hell bent on enforcing it's rule globally. Was this the plan all along? Any attack against America could then be seen as a defensive move against an aggressive world power, ie America has brought it upon themselves.
What next? America was prompted into action by the Twin Towers attack. The next logical country to draw into the plan would be Israel. A dirty bomb attack in Israel would force them into an aggressive stance, with America as allies. The middle East would be thrown into absolute chaos with all out war between the Arab states and Israel. Russia could then take this opportunity to make a dash for the south (as already agreed between Suddam and Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a Russian Nationalist). An all out attack to gain control of the oil in the middle east. With Israel hopelessly cornered they would have no choice but to retaliate using their own arsenal of nuclear weapons. This gives Russia and the East a perfect reason to unleash their own nuclear assault on the West. America would be seen to have brought all this on themselves.
Of course, starting a Nuclear War is suicidal, but then we've seen a lot of suicide attacks recently in the name of the greater good.

Dow 4000 or even 400 could be the least of our worries!
