Market Crashes!


Recommended Posts

"These models ... suggest that a currency crisis is brought on by a combination of high debt, low foreign reserves, falling government revenue, increasing expectations of devaluation, and domestic borrowing constraints."

 

St Louis Fed (Abbigail J. Chiodo is a senior research associate and Michael T. Owyang

is an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.) Paper

The US won't surprise everyone by going tits up some sunny morning like Russia in 1998 (well, at least LTCM was surprised).

 

Managing the expectations IS the game. IMHO we're about 2-3 months away from the game shifting up to the Gnarly Level.

 

Hope Beavis & BenHead have cleaned the goo off their joysticks and are ready to go.

"But I believe, in contrast, that it is far more likely that the United States will be driven to an outright default on Treasury securities, openly reneging on the interest due on its formal debt and probably repudiating part of the principal. "

Yeah. Sorry if I warn't clear. Pretty simply, whether & when this takes place is a function of the trigger mechanism of how many & how fast people come to think it's likely.

 

Unless of course there's a master plan to crash the currency. Then it's just a when.

no need to default, all the U.S. owes is "dollars", which can be printed for free in maSS quantities

so U.S. has no problem

Butt .. doollars can be used to buy "things" yeah ?

 

So, with more doolars about, we can all have more "things" !

 

Like with the cash for clunkers.

 

We destroy working things, and replace them with new cash, so that we can all have new better working "things" yeah ?

 

Save the planet, destroy a "bad" productive aSSet, get cash!

 

Soooo, here's the plan -- destroy more and more working "things", print more and more doolars, then .. it's new and better "things" for all !!

 

Better standard of living. "Wealth Creation".

Doc, this graphic brought my safari browser to its knees, this happened yesterday here too when something else was posted. It doesn't happen with normal pictures. Is it a script of some kind? Safari reports the script is running slow.
