Tails: 2014 will end badly for stocks
- On December 18, 2013, the Federal Reserve has announced their intention to reduce bond purchases
[source] - Despite the improved 6.7 unemployment rate, the wage trend indicator shows very low wages and low wage growth
[source] - On December 30, 2013, margin debt is at an all time high
[source] - As of January 15, 2014, the US national debt exceeds $17 trillion.

At this moment, there is very little evidence to suggest a strong trend up or down. However, a $17 trillion debt is not to be taken lightly. We'll continue to add more to the list, but this is it for now.
