Nobody can predict the future. Your sources are suspect.

Best thing for you to do is educate yourself financially.

Personal financial disaster, for most people, is much more likely than getting lost on a mountain.

For rank beginners, I used to give out copies of Andrew Tobias' classic "The only investment guide you will ever need". Probably still in print.

For the very advanced: The first books by Gerald Loeb, Victor Sperandeo, Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

The world is always coming to an end.
Greed and fear make all the evil in the world.

Good luck
