Robert Prechter's The Next Big Drop Stock Market Warning / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: EWI
On January 24, the DJIA, S&P and NASDAQ all lost close to two percent. On a day like that, it's worth talking about the one indicator they don't often mention on financial networks - namely, market sentiment.
When is the best time to get out of the stock market? When everyone else is invested and extremely optimistic. When is the best time to buy, then? Exactly: when you see the opposite sentiment.

Stock Market Crash - Dow Crashes 450 in 2 Days / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: WavePatternTraders
Anyone reading that headline would think it's some sort of surprise to most traders that the markets crashed 450 points in 2 days, but for us a wavepatterntraders.com we have been looking for a reversal in the markets for a few weeks and it was only a matter of time before things reversed. So it's no surprise to us, it was expected and I expect much more if a top is in place.
Is this the start of the large move lower that I am expecting? Well to answer that question honestly, it's too early to say, but regardless of the answer, what we can say for sure is that if it is the start of something sinister, we will be riding it lower.

Stock Market Crash Postponed, But Not Cancelled / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
We’re dealing with a major ice storm here in mid-Michigan. We have a half inch of ice on everything, stripping branches from trees and bringing down powerlines and the weather is turning colder. Major swaths of the state are without electricity, much less phones & internet. I had to drain several peoples’ water pipes because with no heat, they will freeze. We are fortunate to have power, but many may not have electricity back on until after Christmas.

The QE Experiment is Failing… Will Stock Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
We’ve long maintained that Japan is ground zero for the “QE works vs QE doesn’t work” debate.
The Fed’s economic models, and 99% of the economic models employed by Central Banks in general, believe that monetary easing can bring about an economic recovery. The primary argument for this crowd if QE has thus far failed to produce a recovery is that the QE efforts have not been big enough.

Deflation, A Stock Market Crash And Then Christmas / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying things will happen in this order and timeframe. Just that they're going to if central banks and treasury departments don't up the ante. But they will. The question becomes more important now whether it'll be enough to continue keeping their - presumed - demons at bay. They can't go on forever. You can inflate asset price bubbles only so much. And then people will lose faith. So the order and timeframe is definitely an option.
Deflation is already here. Everyone's talking about lower inflation numbers than expected everywhere, but prices have been pushed up artificially in so many ways and in so many places that, even given the fact that they all ignore what inflation really is, it's getting profoundly absurd. Ironically, a few interesting lines this week came from an unexpected corner, the Telegraph editorial staff:

Repo, Baby, Repo: How Unregulated Banking Triggered Financial Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Mike_Whitney
“Repo has a flaw: It is vulnerable to panic, that is, ‘depositors’ may ‘withdraw’ their money at any time, forcing the system into massive deleveraging. We saw this over and over again with demand deposits in all of U.S. history prior to deposit insurance. This problem has not been addressed by the Dodd-Frank legislation. So, it could happen again.”–Gary B. Gorton, Professor of Management and Finance, Yale School of Management (lifted from Repowatch)

Keeping an Eye on the Dow, Stock Market Crash Fractal in Place / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX made a final probe to its upper trendline at 1751.78 this morning. From there it drifted down very slightly on low volume. Not a very impressive day for either side of the aisle, especially when considering today was one of the larger POMO days in October.

The Smell of Financial Collapse is in the Air / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: DeviantInvestor
The U.S. stock market is near all-time highs, while politicians and economists are blathering about recovery, low inflation, and good times, but instability and danger are clearly visible in our debt based monetary system. To the extent we rely upon the fantasies of ever-increasing debt, money printing, and credit bubbles, we are vulnerable to financial collapses. Perhaps a collapse is not imminent, but it would be foolish to ignore the possibility. Consider what these insightful writers have to say:

Steps to Take When the Stock Market is Ready to Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Investment_U
Marc Lichtenfeld writes: It is Wall Street legend that in 1979, BusinessWeek informed readers of “The Death of Equities” right before the biggest run-up in stock prices in history.
Since then, many other magazine covers have served as a contrarian signal for where the markets are headed. That’s led to a theory among some investors that the market is about to do the opposite of whatever mainstream magazine covers suggest.

Commemorating Financial Panic: It Ain’t Over Yet! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Danny_Schechter
New York, New York: Media outlets love anniversaries. They become the makers and news-pegs for one-day stories that become pretexts for episodic coverage of key issues that substitute for ongoing critical reporting,
It’s a form of nostalgic ‘how are we doing coverage ‘ that aims to depoliticize the past or give us a grade, but not look too closely at the causes of the crisis.

The Coming Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Sam_Chee_Kong
One mistake most investors made when building their portfolio is using the bottom-up approach where they tend to concentrate on stock picking without paying attention to the overall market. When you apply the bottom-up approach you tend to ‘not see the forest for the trees’ because you are focusing on the ‘micro side’ of the market. Or put it another way, you concentrate on the companies but miss out on the overall market.

Financial and Economic Meltdown Coming?! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“Our estimates of prospective risk are surging…
“At present, we have what might best be characterized as a broken speculative peak, in that market internals (particularly interest-sensitive groups), breadth and leadership have broken down uniformly following an extreme overvalued, overbought, overbullish syndrome.
“If you recall, the market also recovered to new highs in October 2007, weeks after the initial, decisive break in market internals at that time. Presently, we’re looking at the same set of circumstances. On some event related to tapering or the Fed Chair nomination, we may even see another push higher. It isn't simply short-term risk, but deep cyclical risk that is of concern.”

Economic Napalm - Stock Market and Economic Crash to Begin Now! / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Ty_Andros
The smell of economic NAPALM is in the air as the central bank printing presses have allowed mispricing, malinvestments and market imbalances to mushroom to EXPLOSIVE levels. Now the money printing is set to slow and some of the insolvent can be expected to fall to their doom as the tide of money recedes.
This has set the stage for a BLACK swan of unknown identity to set off the conflagration. The Black swans are too numerous to mention but we are going to identify a few of them in this edition of fingers of instability.

The Only Market Crash Talk Worth Trading / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: You've no doubt heard the "crash talk" intensifying after two triple-digit down days. But after reviewing more than 100 commentaries, there are exactly two and a half I take seriously.
The one we'll start with can not only help you now - as in today. It can also give you a permanent edge, because most people will never know how it works.

Stock Market Crash - Smart Money Is Leaving the Building / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: Graham_Summers
Japan continues to dominate the economic news. The latest move concerns Prime Minister Abe’s new economic policies to cut corporate taxes. He also announced plans to run a shakeup at Japan’s political ministries.
This is “Plan B” for Abe who has found that his policy of “Abenomics” or pushing the Bank of Japan to print even more money has failed to stimulate Japan’s economy.

Analysing Marc Faber's Stock Market Crash Forecast / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: PhilStockWorld
Courtesy of Doug Short: Thursday on CNBC, Marc Faber made front headlines across the web calling for a 1987-style crash in the stock market. Faber cites a strong rally in the face of lackluster corporate earnings growth and weakening market breadth to characterize the backdrop to 1987, and says we have a similar outcome today.
Given the enormity of the crash that occurred then, and the fear that many investors have for such a repeat event, let’s take a look at the comparisons between now and then and see how close they match up.
