There are
various reasons, both fundamental and technical, to believe that a
market crash is almost upon us. This crash will affect virtually all
world markets, including and especially the big Western Markets which
have thus far escaped the devastation already afflicting the developing
markets. Here we are going to focus on US markets, but they will all get
taken down – European markets including the UK, and Far Eastern markets
such as Hong Kong and Japan.
The
fundamental reasons for a market crash now are big and obvious – the
ravages of deflation and depression brought about by extremes of debt
which must cut into corporate profits – in Japan the debt situation is
now hopeless, the Sovereign debt crisis set to crush Europe and probably
destroy the euro, the collapse and implosion of the monstrous debt
fuelled bubble in China which is already underway, an accelerating
currency crisis in the Far-East exacerbated by the recent Chinese
devaluation of the Yuan, and the collapse also already underway in
Emerging Markets. Given that US markets have been driven to giddying
heights by the combination, among other things, of maxed out margin debt
and stock buybacks, it is clear that a crash of perhaps unprecedented
proportions in on the cards. So much for the fundamentals, since we are
more concerned with timing, we now turn to consider the latest charts.(more)
