By: Axel_Merk
Following calls by European leaders for a "Bretton Woods II", the Bush administration has invited the " G-20 " countries to come to Washington with the lofty goal to reform the world financial system. Will the way we do business change November 15?
The first Bretton Woods conference, held in 1944, gave birth to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and - albeit with half a century delay - the World Trade Organization.

Credit Crisis Tentacles Spread to Every Sector of Finance Market / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: Dr_Krassimir_Petrov
Finally there is a 100% consensus between economists, experts, journalists, and government officials that restoring interbank lending will restore the stability of the financial system and will reignite economic growth. Too bad, the consensus has gotten again all wrong. This is a pure myth and nothing can be further from the truth.
The grim reality is very different and already forgotten. The reality is that most markets for the majority of financial instruments have collapsed completely and reviving interbank lending will not resurrect any of those markets. In other words, resolving the problem of interbank lending will not help the economy in any way. It is like an air balloon that has deflated and we desperately need to reflate it again with helium, but we are told that even ordinary cold air will lift it off the ground; since the balloon is stubbornly stuck on the ground, we are told we simply need more air!

By: Frank_Holmes

Stock Markets Attempting to Bottom Against Grim Economic Background / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Richard_Shaw
Pretty grim out there. Where is the basis for current optimistic stock market views?
Markets may anticipate recovery, but how soon could that recovery be, given the depth of the problem? How many more stimulus programs are needed? How many more can be paid for now or later? Are we sowing the seeds of greater disaster later by adding more easy money to a problem that was caused in substantial part by easy money in the first place?

Stock Market Indices Teetering at the Edge of the Cliff / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Richard_Shaw
Wiley Coyote Suspended in Air Over a Canyon - There is nothing left in the charts to suggest support for the S&P 500 index if it pierces the approximate 800 level (roughly 80 for its proxy SPY).
The index has been volatile within a range between generally 850 and 1,000 over the past few weeks.

Global Stock Market Rampant Buy Signals / Stock-Markets / Global Stock Markets
By: Prieur_du_Plessis

“Deflation/Inflation. First deflation – then inflation. I don't have to convince you that we're now dealing with world deflation. Copper is down 35% this year, cotton down 32%, oil down 26%, platinum down 43%, orange juice down 44%, wheat down 35%, gasoline is now around $3 a gallon, stocks have collapsed, autos are cheaper, home prices have plummeted, suburbs are hanging out ‘for sale' signs. No price is firm – you can make an offer for anything, and you're likely to get it at your bid price.

Obama Victory Flashing a Stock Market Buy Signal / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
Welcome to Wall Street, Barack Obama. His victory signaled a change in US political direction, but the biggest election day rally ever – a surge of 4.1% in the S&P 500 Index on Tuesday – was quickly overshadowed by the grim realities of the worsening economic and earnings picture, resulting on Wednesday and Thursday in the S&P 500's biggest two-day loss (-10.0%) since 1987.
Mr Obama gave his first press conference as President-elect on Friday afternoon, summarizing a discussion he had had with his economic advisory team. He pledged to confront the US's economic crisis “head on” and said he wanted to see “a rescue plan for the middle class” that would include a new fiscal stimulus package. The week closed on a positive note as a late rush of buying on Friday left the stock market indices higher for the day, although still in the red for the week.

Stock Bull Market Being Born? / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Zeal_LLC
With the election of a new President, it was an important week for the financial markets. Whether you were part of the 53% of Americans who voted for Obama or the 47% who voted against him, you've got to be thankful this bitter campaign has ended. A peaceful regime change is a great blessing that should not be overlooked.
The very next morning it was back to business as usual for the financial markets. Countless traders collated and analyzed all the information available to them to continue trying to best-position their capital for the future they believe is most probable. And prevailing sentiment was definitely morose. No matter who won on Tuesday, today's serious market and economic problems were going to linger.
