The aim of this article is to ascertain whether and to what extent the Hurst exponent can be used to forecast future crises.

The analysis of a dataset of 35 indices and stocks representing various geographical areas and economic sectors is presented in Section 3, while in the last section the conclusion is drawn that in fact the Hurst exponent has, after all, no usefulness in predicting future crises.
