Stock Market Crash Risk, Geronimo! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: John_Browne
As a former army parachutist with a bad head for heights, I recall standing in the doorway of an aircraft while my jumping instructor shouted: "Don't look down!" He understood that my unease with parachuting combined with the sight of thousands of feet of open air could be enough to elicit panic. Many investors in today's American stock and bond markets appear to be getting the same advice. While in my predicament, I had a parachute and a rudimentary understanding of how to use it, I fear that American investors have nothing to break their fall. Read full article... Read full article...

Stock Market Crash Second Leg, What’s Next in 2010? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Christopher_Laird
A lot of people realize that the world financial and commodity markets have rocketed around 60 pct since March 2009. Around the summer/fall people realized that the markets got ahead of the world economy, which is still terrible. Unemployment is still rising and one day this month there were US job losses of 50,000 announced. Hey if jobs are again going to tank (they are) then this gig of so called recovery is over.

Are Commodities and the Stock Market Dow Index Dead? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Chris_Vermeulen
It was a heart pounding week on Wall Street as traders and investors locked in profits during 2010’s first round of earnings season. While it is normal to see selling of shares after good news hits the market, last weeks melt down was over exaggerated and for good reasons.

Stock Market Heading for Black Monday Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Clive_Maund
On Friday Goldman Sachs and J P Morgan broke down decisively from their Head-and-Shoulders tops, a development that we predicted before the open based in large part on the huge downside volume in these stocks on Thursday. The Put options that we bought in the early trade in GS and JPM soared, some contracts rising by about 50% by the close. This bearish development caused shockwaves to spread through the market which accelerated to the downside late in the day. After 2 days of heavy losses the Precious Metals stocks indices stopped for a breather just above their 200-day moving averages, and closed virtually unchanged on the day.

Lessons from the Stock Market Panic of 1907 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Clif_Droke
In their timely look at the panic of 1907, Robert Bruner and Sean Carr focus attention on what they believe to be the underlying causes of the ’07 stock market crash and recession, drawing parallels between it and the credit crisis of more recent times. Their book, “The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market’s Perfect Storm,” is now available in soft cover published by John Wiley & Sons (2007).Read full article... Read full article...

Signs of Global Stock Market Crash and Financial Meltdown / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
There’s a lot of buzz hitting the contrarian financial news circles around the web regarding recent market weakness and the possibility for the end of the rally which began in March of 2009.
Many contrarian investors have been waiting for the crash that is inevitably to follow the largest US market rally in modern history, and this may be it. We caution our readers, however, that over the last year there have been various false signals, and rather than seeing a crash in the Summer of 2009 or Fall of 2009, stock markets continued to push up, despite abysmal economic fundamentals.

Avoid Emerging Markets Like the Plague, Global Stock Market Margin Call / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Paul_Lamont
As we reported last month, individual investors are “pouring money into mutual funds that buy foreign stocks, especially in emerging markets such as China and India.” It appears that UK investors are joining the party. Not surprisingly, stories of the Chinese bubble are starting to come in. As typical of the top, investors feel that nothing can “change the upward trend.”

Could the Fed Be Manufacturing Another Stock Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
A week ago, I wrote an essay titled Bonds, Not Stocks, Will be the Big Story in 2010. In it, I detailed how the US Treasury is now facing a debt spiral: a situation where it needs to issue roughly $150 billion of new debt per month WHILE rolling over TRILLIONS in existing debt at a time when investors are willing to lend to it for shorter and shorter periods of time.

John Cassidy Fails in His Critique of the Financial Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Robert_Murphy
While driving my son to school one morning, I heard a National Public Radio interview with John Cassidy, author of the new book How Markets Fail. Fortunately, we got to the front of the line before Cassidy let out the zingers. A few minutes earlier, and my son would have seen Daddy lose his temper.

Reliving the Stock Market Crash of 1929 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Murray_N_Rothbard
[First published in Inquiry, November 12, 1979] - A half-century ago, America — and then the world — was rocked by a mighty stock-market crash that soon turned into the steepest and longest-lasting depression of all time.
It was not only the sharpness and depth of the depression that stunned the world and changed the face of modern history: it was the length, the chronic economic morass persisting throughout the 1930s, that caused intellectuals and the general public to despair of the market economy and the capitalist system.

How to Respond to the Inevitable Stock Market Crash in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: FleetStreetInvest
Theo Casey writes: ‘Cautious’ is my watchword for 2010.
The reason for my caution is because the bull market was illegitimate. It wasn’t a response to economic growth or corporate outperformance. The rally happened because central bankers made it happen. Don’t get me wrong, the multi-billion pound stimulus Bernanke, King and the rest of the world’s central bankers heaped upon the market has been a blessing. It’s driven our investments to record levels.

Stock Market Investors Have Jumped Into Another Fire / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: EWI
The following article is an excerpt from Robert Prechter's Elliott Wave Theorist.First they bought into the “stocks for the long run” case and got killed. Then they jumped on the commodity bandwagon and got killed. Many investors are buying back into these very same markets, but others are running to what they perceive as safe “yields” in the municipal bond market. So far this year, individual investors have “poured a record $55 billion” (Bloomberg, 11/12) into muni bond funds, with the pace running $2b. per week in August and September; many other investors are buying munis outright. These must be the people who tell us that they can’t live without “yield” and also cannot imagine their city, county or state government going bust. But as Conquer the Crash warned and as The Elliott Wave Theorist has reiterated, the muni bond market is heading for disaster.

China Facing Economic, Financial and Stock Market Crash Scenario / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Shedlock
Problems in China continue to mount. Money supply is growing rampantly out of control, property prices are in a bubble, exports are weak, commodity speculation is pervasive, and GDP growth is more of a mirage than real.

Stock Market and Gold Crash, Are We About to Repeat 2008? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
A few weeks ago on November 10, I wrote an article Three Reasons Gold Might be Making a Head Fake.
In it, I noted that Gold’s recent rally was largely due to Dollar devaluation (Gold had failed to hit new highs in other world currencies) as well as several other factors that disconfirmed the precious metal’s explosive rise. I wrote:

Probability of a Stock Market Crash Is Rising / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Brian_Bloom
A new ball game?
In the past few weeks, this analyst has been taking the unpopular stance that the US Dollar Index might be wanting to bottom out. The sharp rise on Friday (chart courtesy yahoo.com) may or may not have been the start of a new move but it was certainly not a mild move in currency terms.

Marc Faber Forecasts Financial Collapse / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: LewRockwell
In his gloomiest prediction yet, Marc Faber sees big financial bust leading to war:
Marc Faber, the Swiss fund manager and Gloom Boom & Doom editor, said eventually there will be a big bust and then the whole credit expansion will come to an end. Before that happens, governments will continue printing money which in time will lead to a very high inflation rate, and the economy will not respond to continued stimulus.
