Looking at current economic events, it doesn’t seem like there will be any trigger for a “Santa Claus” rally in the markets this year. Not, just the macro picture is saying this, the technical analysis of the charts say the same thing, there has been a breakdown in the price actions across all markets around the world.
I personally have a bad feeling about December 2011 and January 2012 for the markets. Read the article below by ZeroHedge for more details.
Back in 2007-2008, Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers collapse. The toxic debts that cause their collapse and the ensuing financial meltdown has attributed to the bail out of the banks using taxpayers money totaling over 60 billion. Since then millions of jobs are lost, real estate super slump and debt problems across the U.S has not improved and this is coming back to bite the U.S and the world in the ass.
The U.S Government calls the current economic situation “The Great Recession” and they are lying, the real situation is that U.S and the world is rapidly moving into “The Great Depression 2.0″. Don’t listen to the lies of the mainstream media that is telling you how the economic situation is getting better, when behind the scenes the fundamentals are falling apart.
People will not consume, buy goods until they can afford to. The debt load is so high for the majority of the world’s population so demands for goods and services will slow for the next little while, until people have pay off most of their debt or declare bankruptcy. One thing they won’t be doing is invest, what money do they have left over after food, mortgage/rent and petrol/gasoline. Look for slowing economy in the coming years.
The U.S Federal Reserve is a major central bank in the world that has been over the past 100 years devaluing the U.S dollar downward by 97%. So you see, we are getting pretty close to 100%…how long will this take though? Maybe 5 years, maybe 10 years.
If the America economy and U.S dollar collapse, here are reasons why the Canadian dollar will not survive as well:
American’s freedoms have are eroding fast, and it begun with the staged 9/11 event, which essentially gave the U.S Government the excuse to tighten security, and impose laws that infringe on people’s privacy. In 5-10 years I think it will resemble very much like Nazi fascist Germany during the World War II era.
According to Gary Schilling the U.S economy has sputtered along and is now pretty much stalling. The housing market is going now where as well as the job market. People with no jobs means more people are cutting back their spending, hence when all this comes to roost the recession is here.
So far, the data presented to you by Wall Street and the U.S Government statistics are backward looking and to some extent cooked to make the economy look better than it actually is.
All U.S stock market indexes took roughly a 3.5% haircut today. Question is this, “Is it down from here?” and “Is there going to be a santa claus rally this year?”
The answer to both of these question is who knows, anybody’s guess. The stock market now a days have pretty much been manipulated by the U.S Government and Federal Exchange who pump borrowed /printed money into the markets to inflate them.
Good description from Will Hunting the character in the movie “Good Will Hunting” about how America’s war, stealing oil from other countries and off shoring jobs to cheaper labor in third world countries have affected the United States.
