Stock Market Crash, Banking on a Repeat of 2008 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Garry_Abeshouse
It’s happened before, it can happen again. -
In mid 2008 I accurately predicted the collapse of major US and European bank stocks, based in part on the analysis of my long term hand drawn Point & Figure charts. These same charts are now indicating a bull trap in the making and a probable return of the bear some time over the next six months. The V-shaped patterns on the higher performing banks together with the predominance of upward wedge patterns throughout the broader US market also indicate that we are entering an extremely high risk time even now.

Stock Market Bubble Now the Most Expensive US Market Of All Time / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
140…
That’s the current P/E for the S&P 500 based on reported earnings (earnings that include write-downs). According to David Rosenberg of Gluskin Shef (and former Chief Economist of Merrill Lynch), no US market has ever been this expensive in history. The Tech Bubble, which by all accounts was an extraordinarily overpriced market traded around a P/E of 40 during its peak.

Stock Market Bull Trap Heading for a 50% Crash to 5,000 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
At the risk of getting ahead of myself prior to being able to confirm the turn, I am suggesting stock market action over the past week bears the distinct odor of a bull trap, with even informed technicians still waiting for a push to 50% retracements on the indexes. In this respect then, you should realize the context of such a bull trap would be profound in that we are talking about the March lows being tested and violated, meaning for example the S&P 500 (SPX) could be on its way down to test its namesake at 500 before this next sequence is all over. You will remember from previous discussions, and in framing context correctly here, it’s possible we could be looking at a Supercycle Degree Affair lower in global stock markets directly ahead, implying 500 on the SPX would be an optimistic target for a low.

Another October Stock Market Surprise? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Andy_Sutton
I have been asked countless times in the past month why it is that share markets seem to have a difficult time navigating the autumn months. Obviously, there is a healthy amount of fear regarding the next 29 days, as the memories of last year are still firmly intact. Yesterday’s 203-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrials Average has done nothing more than rekindle those sour memories. While the question ‘Why October?’ is largely rhetorical in nature, we can certainly take a look at history for some potential causes for the blowups.

CAUTION: Stock Market Crash /Collapse Dead Ahead Say Faber, Rogers, Dent and Celente / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mac_Slavo
After a massive upswing in US stocks over the last six months, the recent rally may finally be coming to an end. It seems that the trend of rising stocks on bad or better than expected news may be in a reversal, as evidenced by market participants’ caution over the last couple of weeks. For those that follow contrarian investors like Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, Gerald Celente and Harry Dent, this should come as no surprise.

By: Andy_Sutton
As global stock markets navigate through the eye of the ongoing financial hurricane, it becomes increasingly important for investors still impacted by these markets to be able to gauge when the storm’s fury will reassert itself and plan accordingly. By all measures, there are a healthy number of individual investors still in the stock markets in one way or another who are hoping to recover everything lost in 2008.

Stock Market Crash and Market Efficiency / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Gerard_Jackson
The share market crashes that reverberated around the world confirmed the prejudices of many (some of whom are paid to know better) as to the irrationally of markets. There was much gleeful parroting of Keynes' misleading comments stating that share markets were nothing but casinos that graphically demonstrate the excesses of capitalism. Of course there has been a great deal said in recent years about the efficiency of markets and the cause of fluctuations. Since the 1960s the efficient-market hypothesis has held sway among a great many people. This thesis holds that markets are extremely efficient in the sense that all information about the past, the present and the future are swiftly built into share prices.

Stock Market Heading for an October Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Peter_Navarro
We survived the brief market pullback so thus far September looks a bit safer than in previous years. The big question hanging over this market is whether the investment-led recovery will be given legs by a revival of consumption. The jury remains out on this as consumers are clearly saving more and undergoing an interesting transformation from spendthrift bubblemeisters to far more thrifty families. The danger is that we may catch Japan’s “paradox of thrift” disease: Japanese citizens have been so paranoid about the economy that they never spend enough to restore robust growth to the Land of the Setting Economic Sun.

Stock Market Crash, Rosenberg Says this is Your Last Chance! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Guy_Lerner
Over the last several months, we have been very fortunate to read the missives of Gluskin Sheff's chief economist and strategist, David Rosenberg. Aside from a stellar career at Merrill Lynch, Mr. Rosenberg gained notoriety for his early "call" on the recession that began in December, 2007. Now Mr. Rosenberg is gaining notoriety as the last bear standing. Despite a 50% run in the S&P500 and a growing chorus that the economy has turned a corner, Mr. Rosenberg has been steadfast in his resolve:

The US Government's Journey to Economic and Stock Market Collapse, Are we there yet? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: David_Calderwood
Regular visitors to LRC are probably scratching their heads by now. How can the U.S. stock market continue to zoom higher each day while the best that can be said of the U.S. economy is that the pace of job losses has slowed? Why are debates over massive new government programs overshadowing the economic typhoon that is slamming tens of millions of families with legions of unemployed adults?

Financial Collapse, Whatever Happened to the Lehman Lad? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Adrian_Ash
"Look what happens when you let a financial system get to the edge of collapse..."
CASTING professional Seventies' Geordie James Bolam as Bank of America chief Ken Lewis was an inspired choice. This week's ridiculous BBC drama, The Last Days of Lehman Brothers, would scarcely be funnier without him.

Will The Collapse Of FDIC Insured Banks Cause Another Stock Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Andrew_Butter
The problem with Banks these days is that it's hard to understand if they are solvent or not. Sometimes I suspect that the people running them don't even know, or if they do they are in denial, or lying.
Presumably, in July 2008, before Hank Paulson stood up and announced to the world "The US Banking System Is Safe And Sound One", he or his people, had looked at the audited accounts, talked to the regulators, perhaps the SEC, perhaps the rating agencies too; I mean presumably he wasn't deliberately telling a big fat lie?

911 OMEN Foretells the Global Economic & Financial Future / Politics / Financial Crash
By: T_Anthony_Michael
A once in a millennium kairotic moment occurred on 9/11 of 2001 that still promises to usher in the most profound and fundamental societal transformation of our times. This earth-shattering event, which truly represents one the primary apocalytic prophecies of the modern era, remains pregnant with the potential to catalyze unprecedented change in every sphere of life in the USA and beyond. However, in order to take full advantage of this extremely unique opportunity for political, economic and social revolution, something must first give way.That something is nothing other that the misplaced trust that American citizens have customarily put in their government, their media, their corporations, their academic institutions, their financial institutions, etc.

World Wide Stock Market Crash on Pause / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Investmentscore.com
Don't Be So Sure - Things Aren't Exactly 'Normal' - Starting in late 2007 and through 2008 a historic, worldwide market crash brought some of the largest corporations in the world to their knees. Between bankruptcies and bailouts, many massive financial institutions have been struggling simply to keep alive. Trillion dollar currency markets have been thrashing up and down like penny stocks. The largest housing bubble in history has popped with governments intervening and thereby prolonging the effects. Worldwide trillions of dollars in market equity has been lost.
