Those Responsible for the Credit Crisis Should Go to Jail / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: By far, the No. 1 question I've received this week has been: Why aren't the guys who caused the credit-crisis meltdown headed for jail? Personally, I believe these savings-sapping, market-mashing miscreants ought to be rotting at the bottom of a deep dark hole. At the very least, they should be impoverished and prevented from capitalizing any further on the chaos they caused, meaning no book deals or fruitful forms of tell-alls.

Stock Market Short Lived Rallies Suggest Investors Want Out / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Mike_Burk
The good news is: New lows have fallen off sharply.
Short Term - The preludes to the crash of 87 and the crash of 08 were very different, but the price patterns that followed have, so far, been similar. The percentage of issues hitting new lows in the crash of 87 set a record that held until a week ago. The 5 day average of the absolute value of the percentage change of the S&P 500 (SPX) set a record in 87 that still holds.

Fed Fighting to Prevent 1930's Style Financial and Economic Deflation / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Tim_Wood
It Still Ain't Gonna Work Plus A Quick Technical Look at Gold - As the market declined into the 2002 low we began to see more manipulation and efforts to hold the market up than ever before. In the wake of these desperately irresponsible acts, interest rates declined, the money supply expanded, banks embarked on ridiculously irresponsible lending practices and the housing bubble was born as was the commodity bubble. These acts by the Fed were a deliberate attempt to hold back the deflationary wrath of Kondratieff Winter, which is all about the purging of excess credit from the system. So, what do the geniuses in charge do? They promote more credit. Now that really makes sense doesn't it? Just as the economic cycle was trying to naturally deflate and purge itself of the credit excesses in 2001 and 2002, the brainiacs in charge stepped in and flooded the economy with more of what was ailing it. Credit. Read full article... Read full article...

Higher Near-Term Target for Nasdaq Qs / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Looking at the Q's (Nasdaq: QQQQ) from a near-term pattern and momentum perspective, the action during the past week could represent a double bottom in the making (around 29.30) or the conclusion of a significant downleg at yesterday's low (29.25) followed by the start of a potent recovery rally period. In either case, my work points higher to a minimum near-term target of 33.50 and then to test the Sep-Oct down trendline in the vicinity of 35.00/20. (11:55 am ET, $32.32).Read full article...

Stocks Bear Market Extremes / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Zeal_LLC
The brutal stock markets have been exceedingly hostile to long-term investors for a couple months now, crushing all stocks regardless of their individual fundamentals and merit. And in the last couple weeks, even speculators have been getting slaughtered. This frenetic hyper-volatile environment is making short-term trading nigh-on impossible to execute successfully, even to the short side. Read full article... Read full article...

JPMorgan Responsible for the Destruction of U.S. Financial System / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The tag team of JPMorgan as the monster and Goldman Sachs as its harlot represent a powerful pair that is more responsible for destroying the entire US financial system than 95% of the American public has any awareness. The colossus of JPMorgan is a monster, a predator, nurtured by pond scum. It has gobbled up Chase Manhattan, Manufacturers Hanover, Chemical Bank, Bank One, and more over the past two decades. Their profound presence in keeping the USTreasury Bond yields down can never be understated. They do so by managing 85% of the credit derivatives on the planet. They distorted usury prices, as in price of borrowed money, thus aggravating the LIBOR (London InterBank Offered Rate) market in a very visible manner. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Crash Alert! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Dear Friends,
I have been surprised so far at how orderly the market has been, despite the heavy l losses. Just as it seemed that the market would roll over into “the big one,” it would rally back from the brink. Tonight I was reminded of an interview I had with Andrew Smithers in 2005 and the article I had written about it. I did a follow-up article again in 2006. I had identified the problem correctly, but was too early. The original link to an article that was published in Barron's has been turned off, but here is another link that quotes the original article verbatim. Read the articles. This is very important.

Losers in the Financial Markets Paper Money Casino / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
When the Dow soared 936 points on October 13th , its 11.1 % rise was its best percentage advance since 1933—an advance which had occurred during the Great Depression.
Five years after its 1933 historic advance, the Dow Industrials were down 90 % from its highs and in 1953, the Dow was still down 75 %. When speculative bubbles collapse, the losses are staggering and prolonged.

Derivatives Crunch Means Savings Is the New Investing / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Mick_Phoenix
Welcome to the Weekly Report. As I write this on Saturday afternoon, I see nothing from the G7 statements that can be taken as co-ordinated action. Indeed all I see is a repeat of what is becoming a tired mantra:
- At the White House, Mr Bush pledged the G7 most industrialised nations would take robust action together.
On Friday, G7 finance ministers agreed to take moves to free the flow of credit, back efforts by banks to raise money and revive the mortgage market.

Stock Markets Bounce– A Reversal of Fortune? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
My first day back in office after a visit to Geneva and Dublin coincided with the best day ever for European stock markets and the biggest points increase in the Dow Jones Industrial Average's history. A pattern has started developing that the good days occur when I am in the office, whereas the sharp sell-offs tend to happen when I am travelling. I will keep you posted on my travel plans in case you want to factor that into your trading models! Read full article... Read full article...
