By Thomas Franck, CNBC Ralph Acampora has historically been a market bull when it comes to equities. But the so-called godfather of technical analysis has become more cautious after the Dow Jones industrial average surpassed his "Hail Mary" forecast more than two months early. "I had two targets, one was 19,000 and the other was my 'Hail Mary' pass: the...

Yes, much has recently been published about the 10-year anniversary of the 2007~08 credit market crash and many people are trying to make comparisons between then and now. Some of this information is valid and factual. For example, the amount of debt now is much higher than the debt levels in 2004~08. This would lead some to consider the scope...
