Financial Crisis 2008-2009, The Seeds of the Credit Crunch Part 2 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Akhil_Khanna
Effects on Corporates
The corporates had taken on huge debts during the boom times to expand their capacities to meet the huge quantum of orders they were receiving. They had retained manpower at very high employee costs to meet their targets and offered huge incentives and bonuses to the employees. They were caught unawares with the sudden drop in orders. Their capacity utilization began to drop substantially. They started to go back on or reduce their commitments to purchase the goods being manufactured in Asia.

Global Financial Crisis, No Bailout Will Stop It / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Mac_Slavo
Sometimes, a bailout is not enough.
When Dubai World black swanned global investors last month with what amounts to be a reported $80 Billion in debt liabilities, it sent shivers down the spine of many a financial manager and stock trader. For those who were paying attention, Dubai’s troubled assets were no surprise, it was simply a matter of time. Oft repeated by contrarian analysts and investors like Dr. Doom Marc Faber, Gerald Celente, Jim Rogers, and Karl Denninger, the mathematical certainty of the economic crisis would play out - eventually.

130 Bank Failures and Complacency in the Markets / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Andrew_Abraham
This last week the Fed closed 6 more banks making total to 130 bank failures since the crisis started. There are strong expectations that even more small and regional banks will fail. Just these 6 banks cost the FDIC $2.3 Billion dollars.I believe there is something like 500 banks on the FDIC watch list. However all this time there is complacency in the markets. Bad loans are still out there…you name it from credit card debt to residential housing to a more menacing threat the commercial real estate markets.

Federal Reserve Allowing Bailed Out TARP Banks To Restrict Commercial Lending / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
The following information may be the most important we have ever published. One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending. Loans have to be 75% collateralized, 50% of which has to be in cash, which is a compensating balance.

Rothbard on the Financial Panic Then and Now / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: William_W_Baker
Murray Rothbard's Panic of 1819, written for his dissertation and originally published in 1962, provides a window to an era when there was once a vibrant and well-articulated public debate on monetary policy measures. Fortunately, it was rereleased by the Ludwig von Mises Institute in hardback in 2007.

Warren Buffett, Stop Using My Credit Card! / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Janet_Tavakoli
I like Warren Buffett. I even wrote a book about the financial crisis contrasting his principles of prudent finance with recent excessive leverage, bad lending, and malfeasance (Dear Mr. Buffett). Buffett is not a regulator, an altruist, a consumer advocate, or an elected official. As CEO and largest shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, his goal is to maximize shareholder value.

Red Alert, The Second Wave of The Financial Tsunami to Hit in 2010 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Matthias_Chang
Many of my friends who have been receiving my e-mail alerts over the last two years have lamented that in recent weeks I have not commented on the state of the global economy. I appreciate their anxiety but they forget that I am not a stock market analyst who is paid to write articles to lure investors back into the market. My website is free and I do not sell a financial newsletter so there is no need for me to churn out daily forecasts or analysis.

Stocks, Dollar or Bonds, Which Crisis Will be Next? / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Graham_Summers
As I wrote earlier this year, the US’s monetary policy has already laid the seeds of the next Crisis. Is now no longer a question whether or not another Crisis is coming; instead, it’s a question of which Crisis and when. I’ve detailed what I think are the three general options below:

I Apologize to David Viniar and Goldman's Lawyers and Call for More Regulation of Goldman Sachs / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Janet_Tavakoli
I apologize to Goldman Sachs’ CFO David Viniar. He did not lie when he said that Goldman’s direct credit exposure with AIG was hedged in the event AIG collapsed. He only addressed direct AIG credit risk.1 On September 16, 2008, he may merely have been unimaginative about risk to Goldman as a result of AIG’s potential bankruptcy partly brought on by stress created by billions in collateral payments already made—and the billions in additional collateral owed—to Goldman Sachs (and other CDS counterparties). Systemic risk is a matter of public interest. Viniar apparently did not intentionally give the impression that Goldman was disinterested when it came to AIG’s bailout.

Global Financial Crisis Polarising Market Perspectives- Credit and Credibility Chapter3 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Richard_Karn
Chapter 3: “May you live in interesting times”
The global financial crisis has wrought such extensive damage that it has polarized market perspectives like nothing in our experience. The two prevailing camps may be categorized as those subscribing to variations on either the ‘green shoots’ or the ‘Dawning of the Asian Century’ themes and those believing the lull that has existed since early March is but the calm during the eye of the storm and global markets are in for a fresh, possibly more severe battering.

Fractional Reserve Banking System Basis of Bankster Fraud / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Gary_North
The heart of the modern monetary system is fractional reserve banking. This system is based on fraud. At the very heart of the modern economy is fraud – fraud on a gigantic scale.
What is the nature of this fraud? Counterfeiting. Banks are government-licensed institutions that issue bogus IOUs. Because these IOUs function as money, they are counterfeit money. This is the heart, mind, and soul of all modern banking.

U.S. Financial System Systemic Failure Approaches / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Debate stirs on whether the financial structure of the USEconomy is broken irreparably. Debate stirs on whether actions taken in the last year or two have put the nation on a path that can even achieve stability, let alone recovery. Debate stirs on whether a pernicious and not so secret syndicate has taken control of the USGovt financial ministries, let alone be removed. Debate stirs on whether lack of US Federal Reserve audits and disclosure of their accounting is integral to sustaining the syndicate control as well as its probable egregious fraud. Debate stirs whether the nationalizations have actually enabled adoption of wrecked assets, have concealed executive ransacking, and have buried massive counterfeit of bonds.
