Margin debt and the next stock market crash
The latest fear on Wall Street is that record levels of margin debt may end up toppling the stock market rally. NYSE margin debt recently reached its highest level since 2007 before the last major stock market peak and credit crash. Stephen Suttmeier, technical research analyst at Bank of America, noted that margin debt, rose 28% in March from a [...]
3 Things Investors Are Telling Themselves To Explain The Divergence Between Stocks And The Economy
“Four months into the year, we are confronted by two indisputable facts,” says BofA Merrill Lynch rates guru David Woo. “One, U.S. data is weak. Two, markets are no longer troubled by weak U.S. data.”
The question Woo poses in his latest note to clients is simple: “Does anyone still care about weak data?”
Woo says no, citing three things clients [...]

Is the United States about to experience another major economic downturn? Unfortunately, the pattern that is emerging right now is exactly the kind of pattern that you would expect to see just before a major stock market crash and a deep recession. History tells us that when the price of gold crashes, a recession almost always follows. History also tells us that when the price of oil crashes, a recession [...]
Let’s recap people:
*Federal Reserve says they want to quit printing money
*Goldman Sacks cuts expectations on gold (forcing a sell off)
*500 tons of paper gold dumped on Friday (more pressure for sell off)
*DHS insider says collapse will happen in spring after metals get slammed (he’s right so far)
*Another insider says planned collapse to happen on April 25
*Those mysterious 100,000 put options expire on April 20 & April 25
Scariest Part of Gold Crash? [...]
The Long Wave Versus the Printing Press: Another 2008?
Marc Faber of the Gloom Boom Doom Report was interviewed by Bloomberg on Friday, and of course topic number one was the brutal takedown of gold. Not all that surprisingly, he likes the resulting buying opportunity and expects “a major low in gold within the next two weeks.”
More interesting from a theoretical/historical point of view was his segue from gold to the state of the global [...]
We May Be Witnessing Inflections In The Economy And The Markets Right Now
In recent years, we’ve seen the economy slow and the stock market turn during the spring.
Economic reports are piling up to suggest the U.S. economy is heading for yet another spring slowdown.
This week will be loaded with more economic reports and a wave of earnings announcements. Companies like General Electric, Bank of America, McDonald’s, Google, and Johnson & Johnson will publish [...]

The stock market is not crashing yet, but there are lots of other market crashes happening in the financial world right now. Just like we saw back in 2008, it is taking stocks a little bit of extra time to catch up with economic reality. But almost everywhere else you look, there are signs that a financial avalanche has begun. Bitcoins are crashing, gold and silver are plunging, the [...]
Controversial Interview Exposes 5 Signs Stocks Will Collapse in 2013
“After putting $803,436 in Obama’s re-election campaign, a media giant attempted to keep Americans from seeing the video by banning it from their sites,” stated Aaron DeHoog, the financial publisher who is unapologetic for the release of controversial footage that has gained international attention.
The video DeHoog is referring to is a stunning interview with famed economist Robert Wiedemer, author of the [...]
The Cyprus stock market once had a good run.
Opened in 1996, it reached as high as 5,500 points in Fall 2007. That was just before the country entered the Eurozone.
But right now the Cyprus market is closed indefinitely as a result of the country’s financial meltdown.
And as soon as it reopens, it will restart one of the greatest wipeouts in market history, as TD Securities’ Richard Gilhooly notes in an email sent [...]

How much will you lose this time around? Four years ago, on March 30, 2009, our column headline announced:“6 reasons I’m calling a bottom and a new bull.”
The Dow fell from 14,164. Hit bottom at 6,547. And Wall Street lost over $10 trillion of America’s retirement market cap. You lost lots. But it’s back up more than 100% since. We forget.
Time for another crash? [...]

Report shows gasoline prices could be approaching the “danger zone”
From PragCap:
… Watching the Daytona 500 from the “danger zone,” where cars whip by at high speeds of around 175 mph to 200 mph — but can also burst through the walls in a crash — can be a thrill.
But gasoline’s “danger zone” may be just plain scary.
At $3.75, retail gasoline prices are nearly back in the “danger zone” marked by [...]

Is the financial system of Europe on the verge of a meltdown? I have always maintained that the next wave of the economic crisis would begin in Europe, and right now the situation in Europe is unraveling at a frightening pace. On Monday, European stocks had their worst day in over six months, and over the past four days we have seen the EUR/USD decline by the most that it has in [...]
Next Stop for the US Economy: Train Wreck!
by Bill Bonner, Daily Reckoning.com.au:
‘US economy slips into reverse,’ was the headline in the Financial Times.
The US economy didn’t move ahead in the last quarter of 2012. Instead, it started backing up at a 0.1% annual rate, to be precise.
That didn’t seem to bother anyone. They hardly noticed; and they didn’t seem to care what direction it was actually going. The Dow slid a little, but not much.
In the bar [...]

Are we witnessing the start of a historic financial meltdown in Europe? In recent days, two massive corruption scandals have greatly shaken confidence in European financial markets. The first involves Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. It is being alleged that he has been receiving illegal cash payments, and the calls for his resignation grow louder with each passing day. The second is a derivatives scandal at the third largest bank [...]

As stocks have risen in recent years, the big hedge funds and the “too big to fail” banks have used borrowed money to make absolutely enormous profits. But when you use debt to potentially multiply your profits, you also create the possibility that your losses will be multiplied if the markets turn against you. When the next stock market crash happens, and the gigantic pyramid of risk, debt and leverage [...]
There are a few men who have tried their best to warn America about the economy and the recession we just went through and Mainstream Media laughed at them, Mainstream Media is covering up our economic woes yet again.
Now the same men that Mainstream Media laughed at the last 12 years are speaking out once more. Ignore them are you own peril.

US November Trade Deficit Soars To $48.7 Billion, Downward Q1 GDP Revisions Imminent
So much for the US trade renaissance. After posting a better than expected October trade deficit of ($42.1) billion, November saw the net importer that is the US revert to its old ways, with a massive deficit of some $48.7 billion - the worst number since April, far more than the $41.3 billion in expectations, which makes it the biggest [...]

Stock exchange analyst predicts earthquakes for ‘Mayan Apocalypse’ day
IN RECENT MONTHS, Art Cashin – director of floor operations for UBS at the New York Stock Exchange – has been warning about increased earthquake activity driven by peculiar planetary and solar angles.

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has warned the US it has the potential to be its “own worst enemy” over the fragile economic recovery and that failure to reach a comprehensive settlement over the fiscal cliff could see growth plummet to zero.

Wiedemer, best known for correctly predicting the collapse of the U.S. housing market, equity markets, and consumer spending that almost sank the United States during the “Great Recession”, provides disturbing evidence in the video interview for 50 percent unemployment, a 90 percent stock market crash, and 100 percent annual inflation . . . starting as soon as 2013.

 Is The Largest Weekly Inflow Into Bank Savings Accounts On Record, A Flashing Red Alarm?
from Zerohedge:
When one thinks of America, the word “savings” is likely the last thing to come into a person’s head, for the simple reason that the vast majority of Americans don’t save: recall that in September the personal savings rate dipped to 3.3%, the lowest since 2009 save for one month.
On the surface this makes sense: the average US [...]
