Economic Disasters Which Threaten To Rip World Financial Markets To Shreds / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Chris_Kitze
Economic Collapse writes: 2011 has already been the most memorable year in ages and we haven't even reached April yet. Revolutions have swept the Middle East, an unprecedented earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan, civil war has erupted in Libya, the price of oil has been soaring and the entire globe is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. It seems like almost everything that can be shaken is being shaken. Unfortunately, it does not appear that things are going to settle down any time soon. The Japanese economy has been dealt a critical blow, the European sovereign debt crisis could flare up again at any moment and the U.S. economy could potentially plunge into another recession by the end of the year. The global economy and world financial markets were really struggling to recover even when things were relatively stable. If all of this global instability gets even worse it could literally rip world financial markets apart.

In the Midst of the Big Bang of 2008, Economic Collapse Has Already Occurred / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
In the 1930’s Georges Lemaître presented the theory that our universe started with a Big Bang. For the better part of the 20th century, it was assumed that the Big Bang event took place in a matter of a few seconds and sent the necessary elements for everything from magnetism to stars to life flying throughout the universe.

The Financial Crisis of 2015 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Trader_Mark
An interesting paper by international management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, on the potential for the next Financial Crisis to play out around 2015. This is not necessarily a 'prediction' per se, but an outline of the next black swan. At the heart of it is once more.... central bankers, especially those of an American kind. I am 100% sure the central bankers will cause another crisis, but what year and via what instruments is a guess.

By: Nadeem_Walayat
Whilst the mainstream press is focused on tittal tattle such as the Duke of York's' rude utterances or South Koreans suggesting that China would be more than happy for them to takeover the North that smacks more of wishful thinking than anything credible.

By: Investment_U
Marc Lichtenfeld writes: There’s going to be a massive stock and bond market selloff in the first half of 2011.
Not only that, the selloff could cause a worldwide financial disaster, global market crashes and the destruction of wealth that will make the popping of the dotcom and housing bubbles feel like a mild inconvenience.

Dangers of Seeking Fast Profit in High Speed Trading / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Barry_Elias
Benoit Mandelbrot, world renowned mathematician from Harvard and Yale, passed away last week at the age of 85.
He coined the term “fractal” (a shape comprised of smaller similar shapes). He determined that derivative pricing in financial markets follows this self-similar characteristic, which leads to infinite variance (e.g., black swan, fat-tail events)

Stock Market Emulating 1930's Crash Pattern / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
Damn The Economic Torpedoes – It’s Fiat Nirvana Or Bust - Little doubt can exist US central planners intend to go the full nine yards in attempting to overt a repeat of Japan over the past twenty years. We know this because the Fed told us in it’s last meeting it’s prepared to do anything to avoid such an outcome, which for them means they are willing to turn the screws on the printing presses without limit. Hence the title attempting to capture the condition our condition is in, damn the torpedoes – it’s fiat nirvana or bust – where just about every observer on the planet thinks such an outcome is now baked in the cake. This is of course a very dangerous condition sentiment wise, which we will expand on below. However for now it looks as though monetary authorities will pull it off, as many believe the markets are still in a position to accommodate such thinking.

World Economic and Financial System Trending Towards a Serious Breakdown by Spring 2011 / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Global_Research
GEAB writes: As anticipated by LEAP/E2020 last February in the GEAB No. 42, the second half of 2010 is really characterized by a sudden worsening of the crisis marked by the end of the illusion of recovery maintained by Western leaders (1) and the thousands of billions swallowed up by the banks and the economic « stimulation » plans of no lasting effect. The coming months will reveal a simple, yet especially painful reality: the Western economy, and in particular that of the United States (2), never really came out of recession (3). The startling statistics recorded since summer 2009 have only been the short-lived consequences of a massive injection of liquidity into a system which had essentially become insolvent just like the US consumer (4).

Stocks and Commodities Risk Warning as Global Liquidity Dries Up! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Claus_Vogt
Last week I wrote about how mutual fund cash holdings had fallen to a 3.4 percent record low. That means mutual fund managers have never been more highly invested in the stock market than they are now!
History shows that low points in the mutual fund cash quote have been near perfect signals to get out of the stock market. But I think it’s smart to have additional confirmation.

Quantitative Easing (QE I) spearheaded by the Chairman of Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke delayed the inevitable demise of the fiat shadow money banking system slightly over 18 months.

Stock and Commodity Markets Discounting Deflationary Depression Second Wave / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Steve_Betts
Yesterday we saw that existing home sales fell 27.2% in July, more than twice the expected drop, and today we see that existing home sales fell 12% in July when the expectation was for no change. Today’s drop was the worst on record. This is the type of behavior you would expect to see during a depression and that is precisely where the economy is headed. The talking heads on TV are in denial but you can hear the doubt creeping into their conversations.

By: Dian_L_Chu
The Hindenburg Omen was triggered again last week, as reported by the WSJ MarketBeat. This is the second time this month since its first occurrence on Aug. 12.
