Worst Crisis Since '30s, With No End Yet in Sight »

Posted By TechnologyExpert 1 year, 2 months ago in Business & Finance

The financial crisis that began 13 months ago has entered a new, far more serious phase.

Lingering hopes that the damage could be contained to a handful of financial institutions that made bad bets on mortgages have evaporated. New fault lines are emerging beyond the original problem -- troubled subprime mortgages -- in areas like credit-default swaps, the credit insurance contracts sold by American International Group Inc. and others. There's also a growing sense of wariness about the health of trading partners.

    I think if its collapse continues for much longer the very real risk is that the world faces an economic slump of the likes not seen since the 1930s.

    With the budget deficit at $480 billion for current year and growing, where is the money to bail out the banks?

    . either Bush will start printing dollar bills OR
    . borrow money from China.

    Should have been done years ago. Stopping short sales permanently. It was a tool used by the KKK type financial giants, to manipulate stocks against small companies or even individuals ! They just put on the "white sheets secret communication codes" and entered into the lynch mob mode.
    The first who practiced this, was the Morgan of the 1800's, destroyed anyone in his way, reluctantly selling his own
    and everybody else's stocks. With naked selling, theoretically is possible to sell more stocks that have been ever issued.
    Another thing that should have been done years ago is, to reinstate every law that was created in the 1930's to protect the stack market from a crash. These laws have been literarely
    "stolen" by those who were running things since the Clinton administration. It is evident today, that they were habitual gamblers, a mental illness that prevented them to make proper and good logical decisions about anything regarding the stock
    market.

        If there is looming major collapse on the horizon. The question becomes how does one survive in such a climate.
