Do Tumbling Buybacks Signal Another Stock Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Whitney
Since the end of the recession in 2009, investors have borrowed a record amount of money to finance their stock acquisitions. According to the Financial Times, margin debt on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) peaked in February, 2014 at $466 billion and has only recently dipped slightly lower. That’s $85 billion more than 2007 at the peak of the bubble. (Below: Margin debt tends to trace the trajectory of the markets fairly closely, although it’s a poor indicator of a market “top”.)

Stock Market Dow Jones Today Shows Warning Signs / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Dent
The best analogy I’ve heard for bubbles and why they ultimately burst is the example of dropping grains of sand that build a mound. It gets steeper and steeper until one grain of sand causes an avalanche.
You can clearly see when the mound is getting steep, but no one knows when the final grain will set it all into motion. I’m seeing growing signs from several angles that an avalanche is about to occur.

Could there be a MiniStock Market Crash Today? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
During my studies, I observed that there are seven waves between 1985.17 and 1926.03. After considering the alternatives, the chart pattern on the left appeared to be the best interpretation. However, if we are to see a Pivot low Friday, it appears that Wave (b) of [b] would have to make a new low, but whether it gets as far as 1901.00-1908.00 as speculated earlier (or further) is unknown. A Wave (b) decline at the open Friday (for whatever reason) could work the market into a speculative frenzy. A Minute Wave [c] could be even more devastating.

What Cycles Reveal About Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Harry_Dent
You can’t compare favorable geopolitical cycles (such as the 1983 to 2000) to unfavorable cycles (2001 to 2019). It’s like comparing apples to oranges.
A case in point is comparing demographic and generational boom periods, such as 1983 to 2007 to a down cycle like the one we’re in now which will come to an end in approximately 2020.

Stock Market Crash a Historical Pattern? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Wim_Grommen
Every production phase or civilization or other human invention goes through a so called transformation process. Transitions are social transformation processes that cover at least one generation. In this article I will use one such transition to demonstrate the position of our present civilization and its possible effect on stock exchange rates.
When we consider the characteristics of the phases of a social transformation we may find ourselves at the end of what might be called the third industrial revolution. Transitions are social transformation processes that cover at least one generation (= 25 years). A transition has the following characteristics:

The Most-Anticipated Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: John_Rubino
U
S equities have been going up for so long that most investors — especially those who were only recently enticed into the casino by the apparently easy money on offer — have trouble remembering the last time it was possible to lose big in stocks.
Along the way, a whole slew of indices and indicators have drifted into their historical danger zones, prompting many in the financial media to address the subject, either by making explicit predictions (YouTube is now full of recent videos with pundits hammering the “get out while you can” theme) or considering the issue from unusual angles. Here’s a good example of the latter from MarketWatch’s L.A. Little:

Stock Market Parabolic Collapse - Sowing the Seeds of the Next Depression / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Toby_Connor
In their infinity wisdom the Fed thinks they have rescued the economy by inflating asset prices and creating a so called "wealth affect". In reality they have created the conditions for the next Great Depression.
Over the last two years the Fed has increasingly intervened in the market to prevent normal corrective moves. As you can see in the chart below this has allowed the stock market to transition from what could've been a normal bull market into a gigantic parabolic bubble.

Airplanes, Automobiles and Stock Market Crashes / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: By the time you’re reading this, I’ll be 30,000 feet in the air – if my plane’s not delayed further.
While that doesn’t matter to you, it does to me… if we crash.
What’s relevant about my flying today is that this morning on my way to the airport, in the back of a cab in dead slow traffic, I started thinking about airplanes and stock-market crashes.

A Crash Is the Economic System Fixing Itself / Economics / Financial Crash
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Just a bunch of numbers Reuters published today. Read and weep. While remembering that this spring, after that horrible winter that threw the recovery so terribly off course, would see pent-up demand go crazy. That after the Q1 GDP growth, which has by now been revised to -2% after initially having been predicted to be in the 3%+ range, Q2 would certainly, according to pundits, economists and government agencies, top 3%, if not more. We already know for a fact that’s not going to happen. Unless the US grows faster in June than China did in its heyday.

Why A Stock Market Collapse Would Be A Good Thing / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Raul_I_Meijer
I’m not going to argue here that a market collapse would be a positive thing no matter what, because the implications of a true collapse would be so deep and widespread that they’re too hard for anyone to oversee. But having said that, truth finding and price discovery are crucial for a functioning economy, and there is not a shred of truth left in the markets nor is it possible to discover anything about any price as a free market would have set it. And that means there’s no trust or confidence left in markets, there’s only a shaky trust in authorities propping them up. Neither of which can last forever.

Stock Market Flash Crash Alert! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
I have been attempting to find the reason for the triple bottom at 1814, 1815 and 1816. The best I can figure is that SPX is finding support at the 120-day moving average and Wave [ii] is expanding for another challenge of the trendline. It appears to be a desperate situation. The powers that be managed to re-cross the trendline in February, so there may be an attempt to duplicate that event.

As Sochi Starts, 1929 Stock Market Crash Warnings Accelerate / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Doug_Wakefield
"Good evening. This is an extraordinary period for America's economy. Over the past few weeks, many Americans have felt anxiety about their finances and their future. I understand their worry and their frustration. We've seen triple-digit swings in the stock market. Major financial institutions have teetered on the edge of collapse, and some have failed. As uncertainty has grown, many banks have restricted lending. Credit markets have frozen. And families and businesses have found it harder to borrow money.
We're in the midst of a serious financial crisis, and the federal government is responding with decisive action....
