Doctor Doom on the Fiat Money Empire Coming Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Andrew_McKillop
Save The Threatened Empire
Almost openly now, the long-running attempt to kick the price of gold down, and keep it down to Save the Money and stoke further frenzied and unreal price growth of equities has overreached. The fiat money empire is more threatened, today, than for decades and the train has hit the buffers. Speaking on CNBC this week, the veteran market expert Marc Faber – often ridiculed by business media as a Doctor Doom who always exaggerates – was given more respect than he normally gets. There were no you-said-it-before jibes when he said a 1987-style “pure financial” market crash is coming. Leading the way, he said, the insanely-overpriced Internet and Biotech stocks will be the first to go. Apart from what he called “cloud cuckoo” stock and asset prices, the basic upstream trigger are the antics of the US Fed, which like other central banks has upped the ante to the point where, Faber said, anybody can see the Fed is a “clueless organization”. Global monetary overreach went viral years ago.

I Can’t Believe The Government Wants To Unleash This On The Public / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Do you know Ally Financial Inc.?
You’ve no doubt seen their commercials. They used to be all over the tube hawking their high-yielding certificates of deposit. Now they’re all over the tube with their “no hidden fees” campaign.
I like the one where the woman is afraid to try new things because she’s had bad experiences before. Her mechanical dog sparks a fire when he drinks water and her trainer hooks her up to electrodes that zap her. I like these commercials; they’re funny. But Ally isn’t funny.

The Next Global Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Clif_Droke
Investors dodged another bullet recently as geopolitical instability temporarily subsided after Russia's annexation of Crimea. Although U.S. equities have experienced an internal correction since then, most of the damage has been relegated to over-extended tech stocks that were in need of a pullback.

Proof Your Money Is not Safe In Europe, Or Anywhere / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Jeff_Berwick
As I write this, the European Union has just announced a possible $15b aid package to the Ukraine (including 8 billion euros in fresh credit). Everybody has read the headlines about Europe: record unemployment, no end in sight, and so on. So you might be wondering just where the European Union, and its' constituent nations, scrapped together the money to propose aid for the Ukraine. Well, wonder no more, because the following eight events might give you an idea of where governments go to get a little extra cash.

Paulson, the Ultimate Financial Meltdown Insider Is Worried… About Another One / Politics / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Money_Morning
Shah Gilani writes: Do you remember the financial crisis of 2008?
The one caused by a meltdown in mortgages... trillions of dollars of which were owned and "guaranteed" by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?
Do you remember that Fannie and Freddie had to be bailed out by the government - I mean taxpayers - so their total implosion wouldn't trigger a global depression?

Government Plan to Raid Your Savings And What to Do About It / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: I recently came across a headline that made me do a double-take... for all the wrong reasons.
It reminded me of what happened with the bailout in Cyprus... and appears to be looming again in Europe.
What's more, it bears an uncanny resemblance to what President Obama proposed in his latest State of the Union with his MyRA "plan."

The Coming Global Monetary Reset / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Andrew_McKillop
The Opposite of Emerging is Submerging
Lulled and distracted by the antics of developed country central banks – and emerging economy central banks – to constantly “pump up the jam” and flood the economy with paper chips from either Fort Knox or Mount Gox, the tectonic shift of the global economy since 2008 has been ignored. It is taken as “normal” that deflation or disinflation is operating in the developed economies, but riproaring inflation now operates in the emerging economies. Supposedly, this is Muddle Through but since 2008 the North-South paradigm has dissolved – the developed OECD economies are locked in a death embrace with the Emerging economies. The developed economies export monetary inflation and import cheap industrial goods, services and resources.

Top 10 Signs That Reveal Mounting Panic In The World Banking System / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: LibertyGoldAndSilver
Dear Depositor:
We don’t want to cause you unnecessary stress or worry, but it might be prudent to pay attention to a series of unusual news reports recently emanating from the banking world. Viewed independently, each event might be rather insignificant.
However, when examined collectively, these events paint a very dire warning for the safety of bank deposits everywhere. Naturally, most all of these have received little to no coverage by the mainstream media. That is to be expected.

U.S. Housing Market Firesales Could Trigger Another Financial Crisis / Housing-Market / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Mike_Whitney
Ask your average guy-on-the-street ‘what caused the financial crisis’, and you’ll either get a blank stare followed by a shrug of the shoulders or a brusque, three-word answer: “The housing bubble”. Even people who follow the news closely are usually sketchy on the details. They might add something about subprime mortgages or Lehman Brothers, but not much more than that. Very few people seem to know that the crisis began in a shadowy part of the financial system called repo, which is short for repurchase agreement. In 2008, repo was ground zero, the epicenter of the meltdown. That’s where the bank run took place that froze the credit markets and sent the financial system into freefall. Unfortunately, nothing has been done to fix the problems in repo, which means that we’re just as vulnerable today as we were five years ago when Lehman imploded and all hell broke loose.

Shadow Banking Stealth Mutation: The Acronyms for the Next Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Gordon_T_Long
According to the latest study by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) the unregulated $72 Trillion Global Shadow Banking System is now larger than the global regulated banking system. How could an unregulated and opaque industry, which is larger than the entire world's GDP, operate with such little attention? Even the FSB is not a government entity and operates under the auspices of an entity with a highly checkered and mysterious background - The Bank of International Settlements in Basel Switzerland.

Are Your Bank Savings Safe From Bail-Ins? / Personal_Finance / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Raul_I_Meijer
I know you thought you’d seen some crazy stuff, but it’s going to get better, promise!
On the one hand you have Greek politicians claiming their economy is doing so well, they’ll present the troika with a big feel good surprise. On the other, Greek unemployment reached a new high at 28%, with youth unemployment now at 61.4%. That’s almost 2/3 of young people. What is to become of them?

Post-Lehman Financial Crisis Era Coming to an End / Politics / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
When Lehman collapsed in 2008, the world stopped while the Fed implemented its plan to rescue America's banks and the world's financial system. This was achieved by making unlimited money available to the banks, and the stimulus has continued subsequently through quantitative easing. The post-Lehman era has therefore been one of unprecedented and coincidental expansion of narrowly defined money supply in all five major currencies, the fifth being the Chinese renminbi which has seen additional expansion of bank credit as well.

Housing Crisis Was Just the Start, Staggering Numbers Your Bank Doesn't Want You to See / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014

Shah Gilani writes: Many of us may have a small share of the country's largest banks in our wallet: a debit card, a credit card, or for the old-schoolers, a checkbook.
And each month we get a statement showing our account activity, not the banks'...
That's because there's a staggering number that the banks will never show you, or even reference, on the statement...

Zombie Banking System Still A Clear and Present Danger to Financial Stability / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Mike_Whitney
The selloff that began in May 2013, when the Fed announced its plan to scale back its asset purchases, resumed with a vengeance on Monday as global shares were slammed in heavy trading sending the Dow Jones for a 326 point-loss on the day. The proximate cause of the rout was a worse-than-expected manufacturing report and sluggish construction spending, but the underlying source of the trouble was the Fed’s decision to wind down QE which, according to Bloomberg news, “helped drive the S and P 500 up 157 percent from a 12-year low in 2009.” The Fed’s tightening has reversed the dynamic that pushed equities into the stratosphere and generated an unprecedented boom in the emerging markets. Now capital is fleeing the EMs to the safety of US Treasuries while jittery investors ditch stocks and wait to see if the storm passes or gradually gains strength.

How to Profit as Eurozone Repeats 2009 Financial Crisis / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
Mohammad Zulfiqar writes: When troubles first started in the eurozone years ago, they stemmed from the credit market. The amount of bad loans increased and as a result, banks needed to be bailed out. Greece and Ireland were the first in the eurozone to come under scrutiny, followed by Spain and Portugal; concerns later grew over whether Italy needed a bailout, as well. In 2012 and 2013, we saw a little calm in the eurozone. One of the main factors behind this was the European Central Bank (ECB). It said it will do whatever it takes to save the eurozone. This sent a wave of optimism through the global economy.

Market Risk Times Risk Equals Fear - Debt Rattle 2014 / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2014
By: Raul_I_Meijer
Financial risk is springing up from so many sides and nooks and angles and crannies by now that the overall picture has become chaotic. And needless to say, anyone invested in anything detests chaos; it instills fear. If you can no longer oversee from which angle which risk might pop up, selling looks like a good move, and that’s what we see happening. The Nikkei closed down again earlier today, and European markets are doing them one better (aka worse). There is a long list of European countries, both in the EU and outside of it, that experience de facto deflation, offset in many cases only by higher taxation.

Insuring Yourself Against a Bankrupt Government / Personal_Finance / Credit Crisis 2014

Spreading your political risk beyond one jurisdiction is the single most important financial step you can take today.
Having all your eggs in one basket only makes it easier for someone to grab them all. Internationalizing your assets makes it much harder for any particular government to control you or your money.
