Stock Market Rebounds from Crash Low Amidst Extreme Volatility / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets had another historic day today with extreme volatility both up and down, mostly to the downside early. The indices opened sharply lower on a gap-down and slid hard, had a sharp morning bounce that took the NDX from 1358 back to 1406 , nearly a 50-point rally. At the same point the SPX went from 1027 to 1056, but they were unable to sustain. Read full article... Read full article...

Crashing Nasdaq QQQQ Have Unfinished Business on the Downside / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Paulenoff
While the cash SPX violated its 62% support level of the 2002-2007 bull phase, the Q's (NASDAQ: QQQQ) have just tested the similar level at 33.33, which thus far has held the selling onslaught. In that my weekly RSI momentum gauge is making new lows, coupled with breakdown of the SPX, suggests strongly that the Q's still have some unfinished biz on the downside. My next near-term optimal targets are 31.70/50 and then 30.00-28.90.Read full article... Read full article...

Dow Jones Stock Market 777 Point 7% Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Nadeem_Walayat
In a classic example of the market knows best, stocks opened sharply lower by some 350 points in the first hour ahead of the Congress Bailout vote some hours later in the day which left many mainstream commentators confused as the over-riding expectations were that stock markets 'would' rally ahead of and in anticipation of the YES vote on Bush, Paulson and Bernanke's proposed $700 billion bailout down payment on the buy up of the financial sectors holdings of toxic mortgage backed securities.Read full article...

Stock Market Crash is Inevitable! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: David_Vaughn
We've heard that before, huh? But this time it is real.
“The US stock market could suffer a devastating crash with shares losing a third of their value this week…” “…a meltdown of 1929 proportions…” “Officials close to Paulson are privately painting a far bleaker portrait of the fragility of the global economy than that advanced by President George W Bush…” “…the message from government officials is that “the economy is dropping into the john.”

Growing Risk of Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Marty_Chenard
As you know, a strong oppositional disagreement occurred in Congress last night causing the current Bail Out Plan to be on hold. This was bad timing as Washington Mutual collapsed last night with J.P. Morgan buying their assets.
What is now developing is a "confidence crisis" in our banking system, the Federal Reserve, and our Government. That means Congress has less time to act because the probability of panic break outs are increasing.

America's Financial Apocalypse, What Can YOU Do as an Investor? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Stathis
Dividends At this point, there is very little you can do. If you have suffered large losses, you either have traditional mutual funds or you believed what the “experts” told you on television; perhaps both. If you have not already liquidated your holdings in the stock and bond markets, you might consider doing so after some market strength, if in fact that occurs anytime in the near future. Your ultimate decision should depend in part on your tolerance for more downside, your investment horizon, and whether you can write-off your losses. If you insist on remaining in the market, I continue to recommend healthcare, oil trusts, and cash.

America's Financial Apocalypse / Politics / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Stathis
What Can YOU Do as an American?
Wake Up - My advice is to find some people who you trust; those with proven track records, those who are not tied to the television shows. Figure it out. You are only going to be misled by the mainstream media. They will only come clean after it is too late, fooling you into thinking they actually warned you in a timely manner. But as you can see, this is simply not a reflection of reality. That is how the dotcom charade worked and that is how this one if playing out. It's game that is played. Stop being played and become a player.

Stock Market Meltdown –Watching Rome Burn / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Steve_Selengut
Both presidential candidates want to crucify SEC Chairman Cox for failing to control our creative financial institutions. But rumor has it that Congress specifically excluded the devilish derivatives from SEC purview. Let's fire the right bunch of "poips" for a change! Scary markets are brought about by many factors, some normal, and some not so normal. It's often helpful to look backwards before getting too paranoid about the present. The S & L crisis of the early 80s might be an appropriate starting point.

Financial and Economic Collapse has Begun! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: David_Vaughn
I believe I remember vividly that I wrote at the beginning of this decade around 2002 or 2003 that it would be under President George Bush's watch that the financial collapse would begin in earnest.
It is a historical fact that the few years following 1929 witnessed the addition of 10,000 or so new millionaires in the US . I suppose these were those out of debt and who had prepared for the events of those days. Those days are now repeating themselves once again in our humble generation. Our nation today is definitely hurtin' for certain. And the blood is running in the streets!

By: Paul_Lamont
As we stated last November : “In A Short History of Financial Euphoria , John Kenneth Galbraith observes: “All crises have involved debt that, in one fashion or another, has become dangerously out of scale in relation to the underlying means of payment.” We have now reached this ‘ Minsky Moment .' According to Morgan Stanley, the risk is now greater than 50% that the financial system “will come to a grinding halt.” In this Bloomberg video , Gregory Peters, head of Credit Strategy for Morgan Stanley, describes the process of securitization, which “has created this cheap financing environment,” as “broken.” Read full article...
