Global Stock Market Sell Off and Extreme Volatility / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Regent_Markets
It could be argued that even with the wild gyrations of the past few months, many were still in denial about the state of the financial markets. Last week, fear was rife as traders, investors, and the man on the street could no longer deny the magnitude of the global sell off. Some commentators are referring to it as the great crash of 2008. Certainly, there have been bigger one day falls in percentage terms, but the scale and unyielding nature of the October's sell off of is unique.Read full article... Read full article...

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.

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%.

Financial Safety During Financial Crisis and Stocks Bear Market / Personal_Finance / Financial Crash
By: Christopher_Laird
Since so many of the financial community talk endlessly about where to invest, it always seems good to focus on the issue of financial safety. In my view, way to much emphasis is given to getting investing ideas, and little to how to keep what you have. Lots of people get caught in that.
It doesn't help that the financial media, like CNBC is always saying ‘how can you play this' or where would you invest in this situation. There certainly is nothing wrong with that, and surely CNBC wants to be relevant and useful to their massive world audience. But, aren't there times where the clearest strategy is what NOT to do?

NYSE Extreme New Lows Amidst Panic Stock Market Selling / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Marty_Chenard
Which index is now 101.3% higher than the highest reading during the last Bear Market?
The answer is the New Lows on the New York Stock Exchange. The highest level of new Lows was 912 in 2002. Yesterday, the New Lows reached an unprecedented level of 1836. This is a clear sign of panic selling with NO buyers interested in perceived bargains.

Stock Market Crash- Where's the Bottom? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Weekly_Wizards
Our Wizards Harry Boxer, Mike Paulenoff and Jack Steiman weigh in this week on the direction of the markets.
According to Boxer, author of The Technical Trader : We are in a critical mode in the market. From mid-August to early October, literally only 6 weeks, that's all it's taken for the NDX to go from 1973 down to 1329, nearly 650 points, or about a third of its value, culminating with a spike down into what looks like perhaps very close to an important major low. We'll see if that occurs. There are very difficult fundamentals right now in the economy and we're not getting any good news. But we are stretched to the downside way more than we'd expect, and the oscillators, the VIX/VIXN and many other technical indicators I follow are at multiyear, if not historical, levels.
