Stock Market Is Set Up.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012
By: Jack_Steiman
The market is set up to move higher. It doesn't mean it has to happen as planned, because, let's face it, folks, both the bulls and the bears have failed miserably in getting things done when they had their chances. There have been many chances for both sides, with the bears being the most recent group to mess up a good thing. They had the market buried with the move below 1225, but once that took place, it was churn time on diminishing volume, and that's all the bears could muster. The bears failed as the bulls took over, and have now worked the market back up to the breakout level, and beyond, for the moment, in a way that suggests somewhat higher prices ahead. Here's the set-up.

In 2008, reckless credit default swaps nearly obliterated the global economy. Now comes the next crisis - rehypothecated assets.
It's a complicated, fancy term in the global banking complex. Yet it's one you need to know.
And if you understand it, you will get the scope of the risks we currently face - and it's way bigger than just Greece.

Good Riddance to 2011 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2011
By: Bill_Bonner
Before we say goodbye to 2011, let us pause to remember it…briefly. We spent 365 days with it – 365 days in a row. We can’t just move on to 2012 without at least a backward glance. What kind of a year was it? In what direction did it take the world, dear reader? Should we cheer that it is gone…or merely dry our eyes and hope for the best in 2013?

The Dollar Vigilante's Outlook for 2012 / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis 2012
By: Jeff_Berwick
“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft then by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them but protect them against you....you may know that your society is doomed” Ayn Rand

Financial Markets and Economic Forecasts, My 2012 Cheat Sheet / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2012
By: Elliot_H_Gue
For many investors, 2011 will be remembered as a year of white- knuckle volatility. This year, the S&P 500 experienced one-day swings in value of greater than 2 percent on almost 15 percent of trading days, compared to less than 9 percent of trading days in 2010.Amid such volatility and uncertainty, making one-year predictions about the economy and markets is a fraught enterprise.

Any Difference Between Fractional Reserve Banking and Hypothecation? / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis 2012
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
“ Capital markets are designed for the benefit of the few “
The above quote cannot be better used to describe the ongoing fraud, lies, crony capitalism and cheating in the financial markets. Ever since the collapsed of MF Global, the level of public awareness on the ‘behind the scene’, manipulation and wheeling and dealing of brokers in businesses and politics have somehow heightened.

Sovereign Debt Collateral Damage, What to Expect 2012 and How to Prepare / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis 2012
By: John_Mauldin
Which path will we take? If we could only grow our way out of our sovereign debt problems. But growing debt creates even more problems if not dealt with, making it even more difficult to deal with; yet getting the debt and deficit under control brings its own form of pain. As I keep pointing out, there are no easy choices left. Some countries must choose between difficult and very bad, and others are faced with either disaster or calamity. Greece simply gets to choose what it wants to be the cause of a depression. Long and slow or fast and deep? Choose wisely.

Stock Market Review...2011 and What May Be Ahead For 2012..... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2011
By: Jack_Steiman
2011 was clearly the year of the bull.
Why, you ask?
Think about it, folks. This market was hit with a tremendous amount of bearish news from all over the world. Europe in terrible shape with many of the Eurozone countries tinkering on bankruptcy. Desperate measures are being taken to try to keep things afloat. Day after day we hear of how dire things are overseas. We know that Japan and China are struggling with their economies, and things are slowing quickly.
