Stark Evidence of an Impending Global Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Brian_Bloom
In the past few weeks the tone of this analyst’s articles has turned markedly more bearish. Regardless of the strong rally in recent weeks, the “bird’s eye” evidence seems irrefutable: Within the foreseeable future there is a high probability that the Primary Bear Market will resume in earnest. i.e. Unless there is a structural change in the behavior of the world’s political and financial authorities, a stock market crash in the USA seems to be on the cards and this will likely cascade through other markets.

After Iceland’s Economic Collapse, Election Not about Left and Right / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Global_Research
Prof. Michael Hudson writes: I can hardly believe the news reports on Iceland’s election on Saturday, April 25. Evidently in an attempt to interest readers in an island few know or have cared much about, the papers tried to attract reader attention by talking about the “left” unseating the “right.” No doubt this political swing is going to continue for many years to come throughout the world. But for Iceland’s voters the issues were more pragmatic. Reckless neoliberal bank privatization is indeed the main problem, but the proposed responses are not inherently left or right as such. At issue is whether voters have become so desperate in the wake of crooks wrecking the financial system that they will seek a more stable currency (the euro) by joining Europe on terms that forfeit control over Iceland’s North Atlantic fishing waters and burden taxpayers with unprecedented public debt to compensate British, Dutch and other European bank depositors and speculators for their losses?

JP Morgan Collapse Could Trigger Next Global Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Brian_Bloom
In summary, this article concludes that the probability of another stock market crash within the foreseeable future is very high. The word “crash” is used advisedly. Since early March 2009, the industrial equity markets have been rising on misplaced hope. When that hope is dashed – as looks highly probable – the consequence is likely to be a wave of selling pressure given that the credibility of the financial authorities will have been shattered.

Global Financial Collapse - Video / Politics / Financial Crash
By: Submissions
An Argentine opinion on the Global Financial Crisis, describing the whole Global Financial System as one vast Ponzi Scheme. Like a pyramid, it has four sides and is a predictable model. The four sides are: (1) Artificially control the supply of public State-issued Currency, (2) Artificially impose Banking Money as the primary source of funding in the economy, (3) Promote doing everything by Debt and (4) Erect complex channels that allow privatizing profits when the Model is in expansion mode and socialize losses when the model goes into contraction mode.

Financial and Economic Crisis In Order Of Magnitude / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Captain_Hook
In order of magnitude, it's important for those who pay attention to these things to note what is occurring in the economy and financial markets right now is of the highest degree in terms of importance (and movements), because the world's reserve currency, the US Dollar ($), is in jeopardy of losing this role , which will change everything. Why is this happening right now? Answer: In a nutshell, it's because the global trade loop the US has with China (and the rest of the world to a lesser degree) is increasingly coming unraveled as stressed US consumers purchase less manufactured products from Asia, which in turn reduces currency multiples the Chinese have been using to buy US Treasuries.

The Soft Financial Panic of 2009 Has Just Begun / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Q1_Publishing
Boston's Clarendon Street sits on one of city's most iconic buildings. It's also the symbol of what could kick off what I call the “Soft Panic of 2009.”
Locals know it simply as “The Hancock.” The 60-story frame wrapped in reflective blue glass makes it look like the tallest mirror in the world. I'm sure it was an impressive sight when it was built in the 70's. It still is.

Forecasting Economic Armageddon / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Is what we are experiencing with the economy the beginning of the ‘Economic Armageddon' that Stephen Roach forecast for the U.S. in November 2004? This is what he said (and I paraphrase):
America's record trade deficit means the dollar will keep falling, interest rates will rise further and U.S. consumers, in debt up to their eyeballs, will get pounded with no better than a 10% chance of avoiding economic Armageddon .

Systemic Financial Loss- Did You Ever Lose A Close Loved One? / Politics / Financial Crash
By: Michael_T_Bucci
dealing with systemic loss: facing the future and the death of your world - Did you ever lose a very close loved one? A child or a spouse or your closest surviving parent or sibling? Did they die suddenly or slowly. If slowly, did you toss between hope and despair over each stage of their catastrophic illness? Hoping against hope. Despair ever lurking. Signs of recovery one day, then relapse the next. If this did ever happened to you, you would understand the mind and emotions of the masses at this moment. They are facing death: the death of an income, a lifestyle, a home, a society, a system, a world.Read full article... Read full article...

Financial Crisis Worst is Yet to Come, Market Forecasts Into 2015 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Most investors don't take seriously warnings about the future of the economy and the financial marketplace, but those who did avoided the dreaded "Cs" of finance: the Credit Crisis and Crash of '08. What warnings are we talking about you might ask? Well, it was the headlines of several years ago screaming that a 'Category 6 Fiscal Storm', 'Debt-Driven Meltdown', 'Systemic Banking Crisis', 'Financial Train Wreck', 'Wild Ride', 'God-Awful Fiscal Storm', 'Major Upheaval', 'Rude Awakening', 'Great Disruption', 'Debt Bombshell', 'Major Upheaval', 'Unwelcome Economic Spiral', 'Perfect Financial Storm', 'Serious Collapse', 'Drastic Fall', 'Financial Disaster', 'Major Bear Market' and/or an 'Economic Earthquake' was in store for the U.S. and, indeed, the global economy in the very near future. And the future is now! Read full article... Read full article...

Financial and Economic Crisis Entering the Panic Phase / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Jim_Willie_CB
A couple of bright friends reported to me some overriding themes at the PDAC gathering in Toronto last weekend. Apparently, some surprise came to them. They mentioned that more than a few analysts, writers, and speakers still do not get it. They actually believe the situation with the US Economy and US banking system has begun to stabilize. That is like saying a college basketball player has Michael Jordan under control, or a farmer has his Clydesdale horse under control, or a misguided King can call back the ocean tide, or a man has a hurricane under control as he clings to a roof rafter.

Inside Story on Septembers Financial and Economic Meltdown- Video / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Submissions
On Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the astonished leadership of the U.S. Congress was told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the American economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days. "There was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left," says Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.) As the housing bubble burst and trillions of dollars' worth of toxic mortgages began to go bad in 2007, fear spread through the massive firms that form the heart of Wall Street. By the spring of 2008, burdened by billions of dollars of bad mortgages, the investment bank Bear Stearns was the subject of rumors that it would soon fail.Read full article... Read full article...

The Perfect Storm: Financial Crisis of Epic Proportions
THE BURNING PLATFORM - "The US government is on a “burning platform” of unsustainable policies and
practices with fiscal deficits, chronic healthcare underfunding, immigration and
overseas military commitments threatening a crisis if action is not taken soon." David M. Walker
David Walker served as Comptroller General of the United States from 1998 through 2008. He is now the CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation and leader of the Fiscal Wake Up Tour. He has been a lone voice in the wilderness for the last decade regarding our looming fiscal disaster.

The Great Financial and Economic Crash- This is Only the Beginning / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Peter_Schiff
The intense scrutiny recently paid to my investment strategy in the immediate wake of the financial crisis of the last six months has unfortunately obscured the central element of my larger economic forecast. The standard line has been that although I was able to predict the crash, in the form of the housing collapse and the credit crunch, my expected fallout of a weaker dollar and global decoupling has been proven false. However, this assumes that the crash has fully played out. In reality, all we have heard thus far is the overture.Read full article... Read full article...

Peter Schiff Was Wrong / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Shedlock
There are numerous YouTube videos, articles, and references to Peter Schiff being "right" rapidly circulating the globe. While Schiff was indeed correct about the US imploding, most of the praise heaped on Schiff is simply unwarranted, and I can prove it. First, let's start with a look at the claim being made. Peter Schiff concludes many of his articles, books, etc. with the following statement.

Disastrous Stock Market Session Welcomes Our New President / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had an unmitigated disastrous session today, opening lower with a gap down on negative pre-market futures and selling off sharply early in the morning. They bounced back and forth around the inauguration, and when there was nothing major said of economic significance, the markets continued to make lower lows and lower highs all day, failing to break through trendlines or moving averages at any point, and closing near the lows for the day going away.

Stock Market Entering Full Panic Mode / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Oxbury_Research
So much for 2009.
I just looked at the market and had a flashback. Remember when you were a child, sitting on the merry-go-round, and everything was pleasant until that one kid thought it would be funny to push it faster and faster? And it's tolerable for about 5 seconds, prior to the nausea? Then you just want to cry. That's how I feel now.
