Ghost of John Maynard Keynes- Comments on Economic and Financial Crisis / Economics / Credit Crisis 2008

By: William_R_Thomson

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article1/What is your view of how long the financial system crisis will continue and how much deeper it will it get?

 

One can only hazard a guess by looking at other experiences with banking crises. Japan took about 5 years from the time it started to recapitalize its banks. Sweden and Thailand took a little less time but none were V shaped recoveries.   There is a far greater urgency to efforts now in the US and Europe after a year of dithering and denial but these are still early days and the scale being global is larger and we have the unprecedented scale of the derivative problem. It could still spiral out of control requiring the whole banking sector to be taken into public ownership, but more likely we will have an extended period of recession and subnormal growth covering much of the Obama presidency – assuming he wins.

The Crumbling U.S. Economy, Worse is Yet to Come

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMike Larson writes: I invest prudently to help ensure the future financial well-being of my wife and two daughters. And Martin, who visited us recently, shares the same philosophy.

But when future history books are written on the twenty-first century, they will probably show that this time — right now — was the most dangerous for investors in decades.

The Financial and Economic Blue Screen of Death / Economics / Recession 2008 - 2010

By: John_Mauldin

  • Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis Article The Psyche of the American Consumer
  • The Consumer Weakens
  • The Paradox of Thrift
  • An Economic Blue Screen Of Death
  • Those Wild And Crazy Analysts

This week I am in California giving two speeches to the Financial Planning Associations of San Diego and Orange County. This and next week's letters will be the broad outline of the speech. We will look at how the retreat of the American consumer will affect the stock market. Has the recent drop (can we say crash, gentle reader?) in stock market valuations given us an opportunity to find value? We look at some very powerful evidence that suggests that may be so. Then we look at the counter to that view. Are we at the bottom, or is there more pain? And given the current state of affairs, how should we then invest? Where do we put our money to work when the dust settles, as it surely will.

Current Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression / Economics / Economic Depression

By: Peter_Schiff

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe current stock market crash has spurred a vital national debate about the causes and catalysts of the Great Depression. The dominant school of thought believes that the stubborn refusal of then president Hebert Hoover to intervene after the stock market crash of 1929, and his preference for free market solutions, led directly to the ensuing decade-long catastrophe.

Deflation Scare the Perfect Camouflage for Inflationary Money Printing / Economics / Stagflation

By: Chris_Galakoutis

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt is said the market can sniff out prospective problems and price itself accordingly. If so, then someone needs to get this dog some nasal spray, lickedy-split! The deflation scare currently hovering over the entire market, particularly in the metals and commodities sectors, has been brutal. But the key question today is whether this “scare” will evolve into a genuine deflation threat to the US and the world?

U.S. Worsening Economic Outlook / Economics / US Economy

By: Michael_J_Panzner

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis morning, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia announced that its general economic index for October fell from 3.8 in September to a much worse-than-forecast minus 37.5, the lowest level in nearly two decades. That follows yesterday's news that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's general economic index declined to a record low of minus 24.6, also below expectations. Together with another regularly updated index, the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank's manufacturing sector activity survey (October data has not yet been released), these indicators seem to make it clear that the economic outlook remains bleak.

U.S. Economy Still on Life Support / Economics / US Economy

By: John_Browne

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleOn Monday October 13th , the Dow took the fifth biggest upward leap (in percentage terms) in its history and, most notably, since the 1930's.  It appeared that Paulson and his fellow G-7 finance ministers had solved the credit crisis.  Despite the fact that G-7 taxpayers will be stuck with $3.5 trillion of liabilities to support their governments' bailout plans, the stock markets nevertheless bustled with euphoria.  The next day, reality dawned once again, and all markets closed down.

UK Unemployment Soars by 10%, Forecast to Rise to 2.5 million / Economics / UK Economy

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleUK unemployment as measured by the labour market survey surged to 1.79 million, up 164,000 for the quarter to July 2008, which clearly does not take into account the economic meltdown since August 08, nor the subsequent financial sector crash that witnessed bank after bank go bust and falling into the arms of the state or state sponsored rescue packages both of which are resulting in huge job losses in the financial sector.

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePerhaps the time for self-delusion is passed. The grand new plan, just replaced the $700 billion plan, that replaced the $80 billion plan to bail out AIG, that replaced the Bear Stearns bailout which was just pocket change.

Forgive me for being skittish but it seems like every time you blink the number goes up by a factor of ten. The way it looks now is that combined USA , Europe and UK , the damage could easily be $7 trillion.
