U.S. Market’s Stub Toes As Greece Debt Fear Spreads / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Brady_Willett
I’ll be the first to admit that I do not know how the Greece debt crisis/saga will end. What I do know is that when the rating agencies first warned on Greece’s debt back in December this should have been when policy makers urgently started to develop contingency options (assuming some were not already in place). And while delaying any bailout may well have been a ploy to squeeze as much cooperation from Greece as possible, it is clear with panic spreading from the debt markets to the equity (and countless other) markets that this tactic has been played in full. The 16 euro-zone leaders are meeting today to try and finalize Greece’s bailout and stop contagion.

EXTEND & PRETEND: Shifting Risk to the Innocent / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Gordon_T_Long
Markets never repeat themselves but they often rhyme. This rally feels like the same sonnet we experienced in 1987. As in a sonnet, it is following a strict rhyme scheme and specific structure.
In 1987 the rally began gaining steam in the spring when it already seemed overbought and extended. The rally had initially started in October 1986 at DOW 1400, but during the spring of 1987 it began to accelerate. It not only didn’t correct, but continued to gain momentum. Despite all the pundits saying it was about to correct, it just kept going up. By early fall the bears had capitulated and the public was scrambling to avoid missing further gains. They were quickly rewarded as the market moved even higher. No bad news, overextended fundamentals or technical warnings could stop the rise. The DOW was soon over 2700 for an approximate 93% rise.
