  • As I see it, Yes, which could mean,
  1. yes, there is a reason for the financial market crash and it is what you think it is. OR
  2. Yes, there is a reason for the financial market crash, but it is difficult to find out what it is. OR
  3. Yes, the financial market will crash. The reason is unnecessary.
  • Very doubtful, which could mean,
  1. No, the financial market will not crash, so there is no reason.
  2. It is very unlikely that the cause of the financial market crash can be identified.
  3. The financial market will crash, but the reason is extremely doubtful.
  • Concentrate and ask again, which could mean,
  1. The Ball is hazy, ask again
  2. You aren’t concentrating enough. Try again with more intention and focus.
  3. The prediction isn’t possible right now. Maybe later.
