Precarious Global Financial Position Set to Worsen / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Michael_Pento
Despite the incessant, nauseating calls for a bottom in real estate and banks, financial firms now find themselves in their most vulnerable conditions since the credit crisis began last summer. Just this week alone we were given three data points that help underscore just how precarious a situation these companies are in.Read full article... Read full article...

By: Kurt_Kasun
There could be heroes that emerge in the market tumult, but I urge you not to try to be one of them.
Financial markets around the world are now fraught with uncertainty and fragility. The cemetery of those who have lost their shirts trying to call "the bottom" is rapidly running out of vacant grave sites.

Comrade Bernanke and the Socialist Republic of the United States / Stock-Markets / Nationalization
By: Peter_Schiff
By nationalizing nearly 80% of AIG for $85 billion, the Fed is doing a lot more than simply flushing taxpayer money down the toilet. The greater wrong is allowing the agency that has the power to print money to take control of a private enterprise, especially without the approval of the company's shareholders. The move represents the largest lurch toward socialism that this country has ever seen, and signals the end of the vibrancy of America's once vaunted free market economy. Since there is no limit to the amount of money the Fed can create, there is no limit to the number of assets they can acquire. Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Markets Fear and Uncertainty Remain After AIG Bailout / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Chris_Ciovacco
"The U.S. government seized control of American International Group Inc. -- one of the world's biggest insurers -- in an $85 billion deal that signaled the intensity of its concerns about the danger a collapse could pose to the financial system. The step marks a dramatic turnabout for the federal government, which had been strongly resisting overtures from AIG for an emergency loan or some intervention that would prevent the insurer from falling into bankruptcy. Just last weekend, the government essentially pulled the plug on Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., allowing the big investment bank to go under instead of giving it financial support."

Nasdaq Q's Signaling Technical Bottom / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Mike_Paulenoff
In a "normal" market environment, if the Q's exhibited the current technical set-up that shows a glaring positive momentum divergence, the form of a completed downleg from the 8/15 high at 48.57 into the AM's low at 41.41, and a rally (today) that has subdivided into what I interpret as a bullish "recovery form," I would be very enticed to enter a new long position. In fact, our model portfolio is long based on the explained technical set-up. HOWEVER, we all know that this is not a normal market.Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Markets Comparison Against the 1930's Depression / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Captain_Hook
Analog Comparisons - The term analog is rooted in the word analogy , which for our purposes is being used with reference to an analog signal measuring a variable signal that is continuous (similar) in amplitude and time. In terms of analyzing the financial markets, and how price movements have a tendency to repeat in terms of pattern (amplitude) and time, it is this understanding that was the primary precept in the work of W. D. Gann , which to this day remains THE comprehensive / definitive template to unlocking the mystery of how markets work. The primary understanding then, is that price movements in markets have a tendency to repeat in pattern and time. Read full article... Read full article...

Wall Street is Screaming BUY Emerging Market Stocks / Stock-Markets / Emerging Markets
By: Money_and_Markets
Tony Sagami writes: Wow — talk about a disaster. Bad news at AIG, Lehman, and throughout the financial sector led to a world-class pummeling on Wall Street. The Dow lost more than 504 points, while the S&P 500 dropped more than 4.6%, the worst single-day decline since right after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

By: Mike_Shedlock
Distrust between banks is growing. They are all wondering "who's next". Fear of an AIG implosion is on everyone's mind. But what to do about it? See The Crime In Buying AIG Time for some non-solutions that will put Life insurance policies, retirement annuities, and the like at risk just so AIG can make good on a bunch of derivative bets gone bad.

The Death of Wall Street- Protect Yourself from the Banks / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Mike_Stathis
Searching for Sanity Wall Street's business model is broken. The high stakes game of Russian Roulette which Wall Street never seemed to lose, is taking them down one by one. Commercial banks aren't in much better shape either. In fact, the business model of the entire financial system is broken. And the pain is only going to get worse.

Stocks Bear Market Risk and Gold Bottoming / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Tuesday likely will be another pivotal day for equities, with Goldman Sachs
earnings due out before the opening bell, and at 2:15 PM ET, the FOMC
decision. Some people already are calling for a rate cut of 50 bps (to
1.50%) in order, I suspect, to allay investor fears in the aftermath of the
Fed refusing to throw more money at companies with ugly balance sheets and
bad debts.

Credit Crisis Developments Explained - China Cut Short-Term Interest Rates / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Fredrick_William
There appears to be a good deal of opacity in what the Fed has said on Sunday regarding a broadening of the collateral it is willing to hold on short-term emergency loans to primary dealers. The exotic financial instruments created this week-end by the Fed are very difficult to price. The effects are less contained than in the past and they are larger given that they emanate from the subprime crisis and directly affect the net worth of households.Read full article...

Lehman's Bankruptcy the Ultimate Wall Street Derivatives Defaults Nightmare / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Money_and_Markets
Martin D. Weiss writes: In the wake of Lehman's demise, Fed Chairman Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Paulson will try to put out the word that it's no great trauma.
But it's a lie and they know it. If they openly admitted that the Lehman collapse will paralyze Wall Street, torpedo the stock market and sink the economy, they'd have to pony up $100 billion or more to support it. Instead, their agenda was to push big banks to put up the money. And they failed to do so.

By: Mike_Stathis
Although not yet official, the verdict is on the way. Bear Stearns led the death march a few months ago.

Stock Markets Fizzle Out After Freddie and Fannie Bailout Rally / Stock-Markets / Global Stock Markets
By: Regent_Markets
A week that showed so much promise ended up being a huge let down. A lot of ink was spent on the take over of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae by the US government, and it allowed equity markets around the world to open the first trading day up 3%. This sadly didn't last, as traders realized quickly that this take over was akin to putting a band-aid over a third degree burn; it was not a long term solutionRead full article...
