What is your gut feeling?
My pessimistic gut feeling is that this means that the physics of the Higgs essentially remains unaltered up to scales where this instability arises, roughly 5 orders of magnitude of energy beyond the LHC or more. And that at this scale all kind of magic happens - neutrinos, dark matter, unification. I've written papers on that so maybe i'm biased. If I were correct, this would not mean that there are absolutely no new particles to be discovered, but it severely limits the possibilities. It would also mean that dark matter can be discovered experimentally, but not likely at the LHC.
But really, this is a (well informed) gut feeling, not more. It is impossible to know anything for certain at this point.
