By: Nadeem_Walayat
Japan today released truly shocking GDP data for the fourth quarter of 2008, the Japanese economy contracted by 3.3% which equates to an annualised rate of 13.2% which is on par with magnitude of contraction that is associated with an economic depression. All exporting countries are experiencing a crash in exports which fell by 14% in the quarter, as western consumers stop buying and start saving.

What if the World Stops Spending for Good / Economics / Recession 2008 - 2010
By: Kevin_Geary
All the politicians and policy makers around the world are trying to do what actually may be impossible.
They are trying to get banks to lend again and they are trying to get "Joe Public" (consumers) to spend again.

By: John_Mauldin
Time for a Reality Check
- World Trade Is Falling Off a Cliff
- European Bank Losses Dwarf Those in the US
- Geithner: "You Can't Handle the Truth"

By: Oxbury_Research
As of this writing, the short term trend of the market is decidedly down. Whether this lasts a day or two, or extends to a week or more is not knowable.
The reason? Timothy Geithner, President Barack Hussein Obama's choice for Treasury Secretary, was inadequate to the task given him.
