Will the Stock Market Crash in 2027? Here's What We Know.

Overview
Earlier this week, an economist at the University of Helsinki predicted that the U.S. economy would enter a recession by 2027. As reported by Business Insider, the professor, an expert in financial crises, named high corporate debt as the trigger for a collapse in the economy. The result would be a global financial crisis, which would cause a U.S. stock market crash.
Personally, I don't put a lot of faith in theories of this kind. There are simply too many moving parts in the economy to pinpoint a date and cause for a stock market crash.

I wouldn't go so far as to put a date or year on it, but it seems likely a bear market is on the way. Here's what we know.
