Marc Faber Forecasts Financial Collapse / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: LewRockwell
In his gloomiest prediction yet, Marc Faber sees big financial bust leading to war:
Marc Faber, the Swiss fund manager and Gloom Boom & Doom editor, said eventually there will be a big bust and then the whole credit expansion will come to an end. Before that happens, governments will continue printing money which in time will lead to a very high inflation rate, and the economy will not respond to continued stimulus.

At Financial Markets and Economic Crossroads / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
By: John_Mauldin
Long time Outside of the Box readers are familiar with John Hussman of the eponymous Hussman Funds. And once again he is my selection for this week's OTB.
This week he touches on several topics, all of which I find interesting. As he notes: "We face two possible states of the world. One is a world in which our economic problems are largely solved, profits are on the mend, and things will soon be back to normal, except for a lot of unemployed people whose fate is, let's face it, of no concern to Wall Street. The other is a world that has enjoyed a brief intermission prior to a terrific second act in which an even larger share of credit losses will be taken, and in which the range of policy choices will be more restricted because we've already issued more government liabilities than a banana republic, and will steeply debase our currency if we do it again. It is not at all clear that the recent data have removed any uncertainty as to which world we are in."

Stock Market Solid 5-Wave Advance Reverses Morning Losses / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Harry_Boxer
The markets started out the week on a positive note after some early session choppiness. They were down early at the get-go, rallied to session highs early on, and then rolled over hard to the session lows before noon. They meandered back and forth, held support and then launched a 5-wave advance over the last three hours to close with a solid advance.

Financial Crash Risk Increasing Exponentially as Derivatives Monster Continues to Grow / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2009
By: Martin_D_Weiss
Martin here with an urgent reminder that, despite what you may be hearing from Washington, risk is still a four-letter word.
And despite solemn vows to the contrary, the U.S. government is promoting risk with new-found enthusiasm and gall.

Stock Market Sector-By-Sector Analysis / Stock-Markets / Sector Analysis
By: Graham_Summers
Yesterday, I noted that this market rally since March 2009 has been one of the most beta-heavy rallies in history. This means that picking out individual investments (individual stocks or companies) has contributed FAR less to investment success than the allocation of one’s money into the right “sector” or “asset.”

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.

Will Dubai Debt Crisis Crack Uber Bullish Stock Market Sentiment? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009
By: Prieur_du_Plessis
As shoppers were emptying their purses on Black Friday bargains, Dubai’s attempt to reschedule its debt roiled financial markets, plunging risky assets into the red. The government of Dubai requested a six-month payment freeze on the $59 billion debt issued by Dubai World - a state-owned conglomerate that has become known for its extravagant real estate projects.
Worries about Dubai’s debt woes rattled investors’ confidence, precipitating a sell-off in equities, high-yielding corporate bonds, commodities and the Baltic Dry Index, while mature-market government debt, the US dollar and the Japanese yen attracted safe-haven buyers. On Thursday and Friday, many emerging-market and high-yielding currencies declined sharply.

Stock Market Investor Sentiment Still Waiting For the "R" Word / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Guy_Lerner
As expected, last week's holiday infested market action provided little clarity. The sentiment picture remains relatively unchanged. Nonetheless, there was a market moving event, and the "default in Dubai" will likely leave investors with one of two conclusions: 1) coordinated efforts by central bankers to re-liquify the world economy are likely to continue as bad news means good news --the proverbial punch bowl will be with us for awhile; or 2) the house of cards -otherwise known as the recovery - is beginning to look a little wobbly; central bankers, no matter how hard they try, are unable to fight the forces of deleveraging. This contagion just won't go away so easily.

Was March the True Stock Market Bottom? Here is How You Will Know Soon / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Q1_Publishing
The Associated Press calls them “fully invested bears.”
It’s the most unique phenomenon of this rally. They are the large and successful group of investors – both individual and institutional – who see the economic reality around them and are naturally bearish. However, they’re still fully invested.

Why I Am Optimistic About the Future
The Millennium Wave
I admit that of late my writings have had a rather dark tone. There are certainly a number of severe long-term problems that we must deal with, and they're going to serve up a lot of economic pain. But the Thanksgiving weekend with the kids has me in a reflective mood, and one that has only served to underscore my long-term optimism. This week we look at why 2007 will not be the good old days we will yearn for in 20 years, after we briefly visit Dubai and the latest unemployment numbers.

Dump the Dow, Stock Market Bullish Trend Under Growing Pressure / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Peter_Navarro
My crusade this week is to get financial analysts to stop focusing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average is the most important symbol of the US stock market. In the ticker tape parade everyday on CNBC, I would much rather see the S&P 500, the NASDAQ, and the Russell 2000 rather than the Dow.

Stocks Market Bearish Visions / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bear Market
By: Adam_Brochert
There are, in my opinion, some extremely strong warning signals being sent out by the markets right now. Every time we delay the inevitable by artificially supporting and bailing out markets, we create the set up for the next round of volatility. Governments cannot change the primary trend of the economy, they can only destroy the currency and destroy confidence through their irrational and dangerous acts designed to protect the few and screw the majority.

Dubai Drops a Turkey on Global Financial Markets! / Stock-Markets / Global Debt Crisis
By: Sy_Harding
This was shaping up to be such a calm and enjoyable Thanksgiving week.
A lot of important economic reports were crammed into the first three days of the week. Most of them provided positive surprises, supporting the scenario of a nicely improving economy. It wasn’t good that the economic recovery in the third quarter wasn’t as strong as previously reported, with 3rd quarter GDP being revised down to 2.8% from the previously reported 3.5%.
