Unpredictability in the market is just not predicated on happening of any one event. It can be any of the below or possibly a combination of any below.
1. Anticipated End of Quantitative Easing in June and the reaction of the US economy after that
2. Impending nuclear event and already happened natural disaster in Japan
3. Concerns of slowing growth in China, implying slowdown for jobs and instability for chinese govt
4. inflation concerns in india and other emerging economies
5. protests in middle east region spreading implying disruption in oil supply and price hikes
6. problems of sovereign debt in europe
Can anything else go wrong in the world? can the market/investors be blindsighted by something else..
...yes of course, they can get caught unprepared by Analyst downgrades.
these are all the known unknowns....
