Stock Market Imminent Seasonal Lows at Historic Times / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets
By: Mike_Burk
The good news is: We are living through great theatre. On October 20, 1987 there were 1174 new lows on the NYSE, about 57% of the 2076 issues that traded that day, a percentage record that held until recently. Last Friday there were 2901 new lows on the NYSE, about 88% of the 3306 issues traded. New lows have been calculated with their present methodology since January 1, 1978. At the 1987 low the S&P 500 (SPX) was 33.2% off its all time high set about 6 weeks earlier. On Friday the SPX was 42.5% off its all time high set about 1 year earlier.Read full article...

Credit Crisis Collapse What Happens Next? / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2008
By: John_Mauldin
Construction Lending: The Next Shoe to Drop
- Lehman at the Center
- Iceland Guarantees What?
- Letters of Credit: Going, Going Gone?
- What to Do and Where Do We Go from Here?
I have been writing for almost a year that the next shoe to drop on US banks would be commercial construction lending. Today we look at some hard numbers. We look across the pond to sort out the problems in Europe. We look at the consequences of the losses stemming from Lehman. Then we look at one of the more serious consequences of the banking crisis, one that will bring the crisis home to you. Finally, we look at what the various governments of the world must do in response. It may not be fun, but it should be interesting. And it is important. Feel free to forward this letter to anyone who asks why we not only need the bailout but will need even more coordinated government action.

1929 Style Financial Markets Panic: The De-leveraging Margin Debt / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Marty_Chenard
Panic levels are reaching levels not seen since 1929. We are now in the 3rd. Phase of a de-leveraging process.
Some of you may remember the NYSE Margin chart I posted in late 2007. Basically, it showed that 2007 margin levels were starting to drop from an "extreme" level. Historically, every time we have reached extreme margin levels, they always got unwound . That is where we are now, in an accelerating Phase 3.

Stock Market Crash 2008 Performance Round-up / Stock-Markets / Global Stock Markets
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
I normally publish a performance review of global stock markets at the end of each month, but the meltdown around the world of the past few days necessitated an update.
“If a man does not know what port he is steering for, no wind is favorable to him,” said philosopher Seneca in 4 BC 65 AD. Why am I constantly reminded of this quote when looking at some of the rather haphazard actions taken by governments to alleviate the financial turmoil?

By: Money_and_Markets
Larry Edelson writes: Other than cash, gold, and a few select natural resource stocks, the only other investments I'd make in these wild and crazy times are in Chinese companies, buying them hand over fist for the long haul.
Yes, that's right. Even bearing in mind the recent milk/melamine scandal, which is outrageous.

Central Banks Panic as Bailouts Fail to Halt Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Shedlock

The public was overwhelmingly against the plan (and rightly so) as were close to 200 economists. Paulson, Bush, Trichet, and Brown all goaded Congress to waste $700 billion of taxpayer money on grounds there would be a global meltdown if the plan was not passed. Congress had it right the first time. The $700 billion bailout helped bust the dam.

Stock Markets Crash as LIBOR Fails to Respond to Rate Cuts / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Money_Morning
Jennifer Yousfi writes: Global markets had deep sell-offs as short-term credit markets remained tight, with the three-month lending rate for banks hitting a yearly high.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for three-month dollar-denominated loans hit 4.75%, its highest rate so far this year. The LIBOR rate for overnight lending dropped, to 5.09%, but still remains well above the Federal Funds target rate of 1.5%.
