Stock Market Tumultuous Tuesday, Is Mickey Mouse Missing Mortgage Payments? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
OK, now we’re in trouble!
The Telegraph reports that Theme park operator Euro Disney is expected to breach its debt covenants for the next three years. Euro Disney runs the Disneyland Paris resort on the outskirts of Paris and it has been battered by the downturn as more holiday-makers have stayed at home and the pound has reached record lows against the euro. Euro Disney still has €1.9bn (£1.6bn) of the debt used to fund the park’s construction on its books. The company made a €26.4m operating profit on revenue of €1.2bn in the year ending September 30 2009 but paying €89.2m of financial charges on the debt left it with a €63m net loss.

Memorial Day Financial Markets Musings / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
It’s been a quiet weekend and our futures are up about a quarter point as the EU session draws to a close.
The DAX gave up half it’s gains into the close and the CAC never could get going while the FTSE is closed today. Asia was pretty flat, except the Shanghai, which fell 2.4% steeply into the close. Our futures were up about half a point but gave up half of that in what is, of course, thin to nonexistent trading. 12 of Spain’s 45 banks are in merger talks as they scramble to become too big to fail and Trichet made some nice noises this morning.

Sovereign Debt Crisis Fails to Deliver Knock Out Punch to Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The stock market ended last week little changed at Dow 10,136 (10,193), which belied the drama seen during the week that included a Tuesday nose dive into the forecast target zone for a low of between 9,800 and 9,850 before bouncing back all the way into Thursdays closing peak of 10,264.

The Looming Financial Holocaust, Massive Bearish Patterns Across Multiple Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
We had expected the broad stockmarket and the resource sector to stabilize and start to recover last week and they did, and while we are likely to see further recovery in the days and perhaps weeks ahead, there have been some ominous developments in the recent past that we would be most unwise to ignore. The market did not go into full crash mode because it was not technically ready to, although it got close to it, and crucial support held - for now. However, heavy technical damage was inflicted and a broad review of long-term charts reveals that a blood-curdlingly dangerous setup has developed across a wide spectrum of markets.

Financial Markets Uncertainty Reigns Supreme / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
Just a few weeks ago, most financial analysts continued to insist that the road to recovery stretched far into the future. Now, uncertainty has returned with a vengeance and the stock market has booked its first official 10% correction since this tenuous 'bull' market began in the spring of 2009.

BubbleOmics June 2010 Review / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
Seeing that events move so fast these days…what with High Frequency Trading and trillion dollar bail-outs being produced like rabbits out of a hat, and more discoveries about more creative ways to “fix” an audit or a credit rating being revealed by the second, I’ve decided to put out forecasts every six months.

Investor Profit and Protection From Chaos and Cartel Interventions, Forecasts 2010 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
“The pace and severity of financial crises has taken an ominous turn for the worse. Over the past 30 years, a crisis has occurred, on average, every three years. Yet, now, only 18 months after the meltdown of late 2008, Europe’s sovereign debt crisis has hit with full force. With one crisis seemingly begetting another, and the fuse between crises now getting shorter and shorter, the world economy is on a very treacherous course.”

Copper and Canaries, Signs of Panic Brewing in World Financial Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
The evidence suggests that the world’s markets may be on the edge of panic.
In particular, the ratio of the gold price/commodities index is manifesting a chart pattern known as a “double top”. Based on historical experience with this type of formation it is very likely that, if the old top is breached, we will see the gold price shooting up relative to commodity prices which, in turn, will likely be falling.&

Gold, Dow And The South African Rand / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
Last week was a very interesting week in the gold market. Those people who think that gold is going down from here have a big surprise coming. However, we will probably have more of these scary drops in the gold price as we continue into this volatile phase of the gold bull market. The good news for gold bugs is that we will also have some huge up days, and the general trend will be very much up. Is a $50 or $100 up day coming soon?

Monday Monetary Meltdown, Sill the Euro! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
It’s funny how much damage a splash of cold water can do, isn’t it? Especially when that splash of cold water is reality and the witch is fiat currency. You are very, very lucky because I do not have to rant on about this for 2 pages here because I already told people this was going to happen in March of 2007, when I warned that rising oil prices were indicating a serious issue with fiat currencies and would eventually undo our then-indestructible rally. The title of that post was "Are We Heading for an Economic Tornado?"
