Global Economic Armageddon is now here

The REIC took America and the world to the brink today, and we fell off. The credit and money markets have now shut down, and the stock market has tanked.

Our corrupt Congress, who did nothing until it was too late, did nothing. This is cause for celebration, and it's cause for panic.

This week will be, when it is all said and done, one of the most historic weeks in world financial history.

If you were anti-bailout, don't get too excited, because it will still be passed. But not until the world burns.

If you were pro-bailout, don't get too depressed, because it will still be passed. But not until the world burns.

If you're pro-world-burning, get excited. Your day is here.

Reactions?

Predictions?

May you live in interesting times.

And may you have ammo. And liquidity. And cash.

Well, unfortunately I do know a few survivalist types who are pro-world-burning. Those guys actually want America to burn, just like Marines fresh out of boot camp want to see combat. They want to "bug out" and pretend to be Marines since none of them could do it for real.

CNBC is running a poll on the bailout.

Please vote Yes (meaning the bailout is bad).

Not yet.

The Market hasn't tanked 20% in a day yet.

Today is just a temper tantrum thrown by Wall Street. "waaaaaaaaaah, give us more money for our yachts or else we'll drop the market!" In normal society, this would be called EXTORTION and charges filed. But not here, not now. It is called politics.

Stock market crash is looking more and more likely.

Now I think by the time the plan is voted, the damage will be done.

Is Purchasing $700 billion of Toxic Assets the Best Way to Recapitalize the Financial System?
No! It is Rather a Disgrace and Rip-Off Benefiting only the Shareholders and Unsecured Creditors of Banks

Read More Here: Link: http://www.rgemonitor.com/ Nouriel Roubini | Sep 28, 2008

A recent IMF study of 42 systemic banking crises across the world provides evidence on how different crises were resolved.
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2008/wp08224.pdf

Government purchase of bad assets was the exception rather than the rule. It was used only in Mexico, Japan, Bolivia, Czech Republic, Jamaica, Malaysia, and Paraguay.
The Treasury plan is a disgrace: a bailout of reckless bankers, lenders and investors that provides little direct debt relief to borrowers and financially stressed households and that will come at a very high cost to the US taxpayer.
And the plan does nothing to resolve the severe stress in money markets and interbank markets that are now close to a systemic meltdown.

It is pathetic that Congress did not consult any of the many professional economists that have presented -
many on the RGE Monitor Finance blog forum - alternative plans that were more fair and efficient and less costly
ways to resolve this crisis. This is again a case of privatizing the gains and socializing the losses; a bailout and socialism for the rich, the well-connected and Wall Street. And it is a scandal that even Congressional Democrats have fallen for this Treasury scam that does little to resolve the debt burden of millions of distressed home owners.

Ron Paul is opposed to the bailout for sound reasons. Keith seems to have forgotten what real capitalism is all about. What we have is fascist socialism. Maybe Robert Prechter is right...a massive deflation with real estate down 90% and the DOW Industrials down under 1,000. With no way to stop the deflation of all the phony credit that pumped things up the past several decades. Ron Paul just introduced a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve.

How incompetent are Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner that they took the most important vote since the Iraq debacle vote to the house floor and didn't have a firm vote count?

Unreal.

Anyone want to join in my prediction that a bailout goes through within a week, with slight modifications? And that the world financial markets melt down this week?

They may decide to close the stock market for the next few days. JMHO.

I think it still passes. They just need some fancier yet equally meaningless modifications.

I'm actually surprised at what happened today, completely. I really thought the bailout would pass and the stock market would soar, temporarily. Boy, was I wrong.

However, I am worried that this POS bailout will pass eventually with the cnbc chuckle-heads cheering and the misallocations of resources becoming exacerbated.

If this doesn't pass then perhaps we get a more traditional deflation with USD actually appreciating. Nah.

I think this is just congress throwing a tantrum, playing a little brinksmanship. Many voters who were uncertain about this bailout may suddenly be in favour of it when they see their retirement savings falling, chicken-shits.

I'm worried about my seat now if I'm in Congress because they are truly damned if they do and damned if they don't pass this bailout. Couldn't happen to a nicer, more honest bunch of people.

And I have a serious problem with ANYONE who *WANTS* the system to melt down just so they can go and do their survivalist thing.

We've got a bug-out kit too, because of earthquake preparedness, not some fantasy scenario, and am involved with RACES which requires a massive bug-out kit for members (you find out) ... but we're realistic and don't actually WANT an shtf situation like many survivalists do.

Congratulations all you purists, you got your wish, no bailout. Stupid decision, because now YOU are going to get it. Remember, Wall Street guys made millions, they have a great cushion for the greatest depression, you don't and now with your calling your senators, and congressmen and allowing them to play politics with your future, you have slit your own throat.

Look below at the people whom this will hurt. Remember this, because YOU now caused this with your stupid "moral hazard" arguments and "no bailout" ideology. You are watching as Rome burns, and somehow think the fire won't burn you. Wrong....

"NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- After 41 years in business, Hull Printing shut down its printing presses for good in March, laying off 19 workers and closing one of the oldest family-run businesses in Barre, Vt. The catalyst: Hull Printing's bank slashed its line of credit, kicking off a death spiral that led to the company's collapse.

"All of the equipment's gone and been liquidated," said Jon Hull, 32, whose grandparents started the commercial printing business in 1967. "The bank got all of their money back, but it left a lot of unsecured creditors that will never be paid back, including many other small businesses in town."

Hull's story is a familiar one to millions of small business owners across the U.S. who rely on credit lines and loans to fund expansion or help them recover from setbacks. In a National Small Business Association (NSBA) survey released this week, 67% of business owners polled reported being affected by the credit crunch in August, up from 55% in February. Additionally, 32% reported a deterioration in the terms of available bank loans, up from 27% six months earlier. "

You really think this guy was a housing gambler? You think he deserved to not be helped out? Hmmm. Well the only solice I can see in this, is that you renters and purists here will be hurt really bad by this.....

All this survivalist crap is ridiculous.

The credit markets have been locked up for over a year. No Armageddon -- just a bunch of bubble businesses relying on buy now pay later closing up shop.

Americans will learn to live within our means, manufacturing will return to the country as fuel bills soar, and we'll get through this just fine after a recession.

Hopefully the lesson that "you cannot borrow your way to prosperity" will be remembered. Although I have my doubts.

Anonymous said...

Congress -- the Republicans - got it right today. I was actually hopeful it was not going to pass. I made many phone calls to various congressmen to encourage them to vote no. Apparently they agreed.

Unfortunately, all the talking heads on TV are saying that a bill WILL pass, doing everything they can to sway voters and congress. The MSM is, again, showing its true colors: biased as hell towards big govt. programs and saying a bill is a done deal this week.

Keith, the Dems voted for this...I hope it is making you think twice about your proclivities to support this despicable party.

It is time to unwind things here. The market needs to go down and housing prices need to go down. Once the bloodletting is over, we can rebuild this broken financial system.

Even if this bill passes, it may not stem the decline, although it could set a price floor for houses since the Feds are going to buy up the toxic mortgages and forgive the borrowers losses on them (i.e. allow underwater homedebters to not pay back the full mortgage but only the amount of the re-valued home).

All in all, a good day.

Glad I bought American Eagles over the weekend and glad I've been fully in cash since the summer. Tomorrow I go down to my large, well-known bank that recently purchased another large well-known bankrupt bank so i can get the rest of my money out before it's lost forever.

It will get passed. They are already revising it. Think of it like political nuclear bombs. They drop the first bomb which gets all of the attention. Next, they sign it but it is overshadowed by the first bomb. Maybe they cut it to 600 billion to save face.

I agree, 1% rates are coming soon.

Look,all they needed to shore up was
FDIC and some other accounts . months ago I posted that this was the answer .

The stock market was never a insured account . Please be aware the stock market has never been insured against loss . The stock market was correcting before they turn down that junk BILL .

The stock market is dropping because everyone is aware we are in a recession . The cheerleaders fakes everyone out .

In the final analysis the Feds and the FDIC are going to take Billions in loss because of bank
failures ,but remaining banks or merged banks pick up the slack .The taxpayers are still going to take billions in loss in the final analysis ,so don't think that Wall Street didn't cause a loss to the
taxpayers .

You act like it was even possible to bail out all the unregulated
casino players .Spend happy Paulson was going to far with this bail out concept .

That being said ,trust in the fact that the Feds can inject capital for emergency purpose ,so you really don't have to worry about
your ATM cutting you off . You might not be able to get a car loan right now if your a flake ,but so be it .

This is a good read explaining the mechanics of the credit crunch. Also it basically says that unless Uncle Sam overpays the banks for their toxic waste, Paulson's plan doesn't really increase the banks' ability to lend money, or ease the credit crunch. It just rewards Banks with bad management.

No and this talk about not being able to get a car loan is such a bull$hit. Anyone with good Fico on the 700s, an appropriate income, no debt, responsible with finances, can get a loan. For instance, Amex keeps sending me pre-approved offers for Platinum cards and they just gave me a Blue at 0% for 1.5 years, with a $20k limit. I can walk into any BMW dealer right now and lease a 3 Series if I want to.

The crooks on Wall Street, along with the corrupt media, are using this bull$hit to put pressure on passing the bill. You should see those idiots on Fast Money tonight...they were mad, with a stupid face, after probably have lost their shirts, gambling as usual. And they're still giving hard time to a Republican Rep who voted against the cancer bill.

Of course, if you're a moron, irresponsible, who lives beyond your means and is up the wazoo in debt, you won't get a loan. Also, if your income is $40k, you won't qualify for a $500k house. That's the way it should be.
