How to Prevent the Next Financial Crises / Politics / Financial Crash

By: Jesse

Nassim Taleb presents a very simple principle for avoiding financial crises.

But sometimes the simplest principles are the most difficult to implement.  For example:

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with your whole heart, and your whole mind, and your whole strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.  This is the whole of the law.

High-Frequency Trading Could Cause Another Flash Stock Market Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Money_Morning

David Zeiler writes: The threat of another flash crash caused by high-frequency trading is as great as ever.

And the next flash crash could be much worse than the one that shocked investors in May 2010.

Although the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has taken some steps to prevent another flash crash caused by high-frequency trading (HFT), some experts question whether the additional disclosure and "circuit-breakers" designed to prevent big, sudden price moves will make a difference.

How Banks Are Using Your Money to Create the Next Financial Markets Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Money_Morning

Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: In 2008, reckless credit default swaps nearly obliterated the global economy. Now comes the next crisis - rehypothecated assets.

It's a complicated, fancy term in the global banking complex. Yet it's one you need to know.

And if you understand it, you will get the scope of the risks we currently face - and it's way bigger than just Greece.

Stock Market Crash Phase Starts Today / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

You may recall yesterday when I identified the triangle in the 10 min. SPX chart. I also mentioned that its target was 1231.00 and that it would either meet its target by the end of the day on Thursday or in the first hour on Friday. My calculation was off slightly… the pattern was over at 10:22 AM Eastern time.

Multiple Stock Market Crash Hindenburg Crash Omens / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The NYSE gave us a second Hindenburg Omen yesterday. As I said earlier, I just noticed the first one on Tuesday. There may even have been one on Monday, as well. The point is, Hindenburg Omens come in clusters. A single omen has no meaning, but multiple omens are the harbingers of crashes.

Do Five 'C's Equal A Market Crash? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: DK_Matai

1.  The first 'C' is for Christmas time and the trading volumes are already getting thin, as they often do, at this time of the year;

2.  The second 'C' is for Capital flows which are increasingly leaving illiquid and riskier asset classes like peripheral sovereign debt and currencies like the euro and heading towards perceived safer cash havens like the US dollar, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and UK sterling;

Stock Market Crash Hindenberg Omen Today / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Today we saw a Hindenburg Omen in quite a while. I must apologize if this has been going on last week, since I missed it. The significance is that when more than one Omen occurs within a limited period, the probability of a crash increases significantly. Regardless of the status of the Hindenburg Omens,we should be on full alert for a crash.

How to Survive and Prosper in the Coming Financial Meltdown / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Sam_Chee_Kong

The current global financial crisis can be said to be caused by the macroeconomic expansionary monetary policies of global governments and also at the same time the lack of regulatory framework from the authorities. As a result of the expansionary monetary policies the market is full of liquidity or in other words too much cash is available. The lack of regulatory framework from the authorities actually help to hasten the process of the financial crisis. The current financial crisis can be best described with the following three stages of manifestation.

Are Stocks Staring Into the Abyss? / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Robert_McHugh_PhD

Europe’s financial woes are serious. We believe the financial crisis will hit the fan starting in 2012 which will eventually lead to a political union of several major European nations, perhaps even a broader political union of western nations including Great Britain, the United States and Canada. It may be what results from developing global economic chaos. This is Grand Supercycle degree wave {IV} down underway from May 2nd, 2011, a dangerous Bear Market wave of long-term duration. Life will change by the time it finishes.

Stock Market Crash Watch is Still On / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

As you can see, Cycle Bottom resistance is keeping the SPX from advancing.  The same is happening with the NDX.  Domestic equities have one more day to bounce higher, since the ½ cycle turn occurs on Thursday.  Even if the market rallies tomorrow, the rally may be short lived and untradable.

On the Verge of Huge Stock Market Crash, Implications For Gold and Silver / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Willem_Weytjens

We might be on the verge of another huge market crash, one similar to 2008.
Check out the following chart below, and you will see why…
- The RSI hasn’t been overbought anymore in a long time, indicating weakness in stock markets… The same was true in 2008.
- The SP500 found heavy resistance in the 1260-1280 zone (just as we warned our subscribers), which was the low of June 2011. A similar thing happened back in May 2008, where price ran into resistance of the November 2007 low.

Stock Market Flash Crash Alert / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The SPX is caught between intermediate term trend resistance at 1220.23 and hourly cycle bottom support at 1214.43. Final support not shown in the charts is the 17 hour cycle bottom at 1204.79. Below that is free-fall territory.

Stock Market Entering Free Fall Territory? Read the Most Important Investment Report for 2012 / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: EWI

The stock market's 17-month drop into March 2009 erased all the gains in the Dow Jones Industrial Average since the late 1990s. That's a full decade's worth of gains.

And the two-week drop that ended August 9 basically wiped out all the gains from 2010 - 2011.

Stock Market Entering the Flash Crash Zone / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

The VIX completed a 47% retracement of its impulse off its Master Cycle low at 24.44.  It now has the ability to rally through the end of December, according to the predominant cycle patterns.  It is probable the VIX may put in its 13-year cycle high in December, or possibly early next year.  This is something that I have been saying for the better part of the last year.

Fractal Self-similarity and the Stock Market Crash Wave Pattern / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

In tracking the 2007-2008 decline, I noticed that there was a certain repetition (self-similarity) in the wave structure that may also be playing out today.  One of the few rules in the wave structure is that third waves are never the smallest.  From there, we can use guidelines (not rules) that suggest general wave behavior.

Another Similar Stock Market 2008 Crash Chart Pattern / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash

By: Tony_Pallotta

"He observed that human emotions collectively had major impacts on the movement of stock prices and markets in general, ultimately creating patterns that kept repeating." - From a book on Jesse Livermore's trading style

Without a doubt one common similarity between the current market and the fall of 2008 is heightened investor emotions. There are plenty of other similarities from bank nationalizations, a deteriorating global economy and government intervention.
