Abstract
We investigate the stock market crashes in China, Iceland, and the US in the 2006-2009 period based on the results in Lleo and Ziemba (2012). The bond stock earnings yield difference model is used as a prediction tool. Historically, when the measure is too high, meaning that long bond interest rates are too high relative to the trailing earnings over price ratio, then there usually is a crash of 10% or more within four to twelve months. The model did in fact predict all three crashes. Iceland had a drop of fully 95%, China fell by two thirds and the US by 57%.
