스크랩 세계경제의 붕괴국면

[sanyang]

큰 제목은 경제붕괴라고 올르고요 큰 글씨지만 작은 제목은 금융방면 나쁜 뉴스는 계속 쏟아지고 있으며 : 14개 사실은 여러분을 백주대낮에 공포로 휘감는다고 오릅니다.

10월 3일 미국과 세계 증시는 엄청나게 급락하면서 큰 충격파를 던졌는데요 이틀후인 어젯밤에는 금융이 풀릴 것이란 전망이 올랐다고 하며 다시 오르더군요. 그러나 그런 발표를 믿는 사람은 이제 아무도 없는 것같습니다. 왜냐하면 이전에 사흘걸러 그런 무마성 소문이 나오면 이틀 동안은 소리소문없이 내리꽂으며 올 한해 증시의 침체가 이어져 왔기 때문입니다. 그럼 이제부터 어떻게 되느냐는 것이 중요한 문제인데 아래 아만다 녹스  Amanda Knox  의 분석기사는 금융시장이 앞으로 견뎌나가느냐 아님 계속 침체로 가느냐는 문제에 종지부를 찍습니다. 기사 제목처럼 나쁜 뉴스가 쏟아지고 이제껏 침체라고 알았던 것을 무색케하는 큰 붕괴가 올 것이기에 세계금융이 대낮에도 한기로 떨며 두려워한다고 말입니다. 긴 이야기는 생략하고 14가지 나뿐 징조를 요약합니다.

1) 10월3일, 월요일 다우지수는 258 포인트 하락했다. 최근 주식시장을 관찰하면 하루에 다우지수가 수백 포인트씩이나 오르내림을 볼수있는데 이는 엄청난 휘발성 장세로써 금융체제가 건강하지 못하다는 좋지않은 증거이다.

2) 모건스탠리가 그날 8%가 빠졌는데 올해 2월부터 무려 50%이상의 주가 하락을 기록하고 있다.(이 대형금융사는 사실상 미국금융시장을 좌우해온 로스차일드 계열인데 그것이 이런 침체에 들어갔음을 눈여겨 볼 필요가 있다.)

3) BoA 주식이 그날 $5.53로 기록했는데 미국 최대은행이기도 했던 이곳은 몇 년전만해도 한주당 $50이 넘던 곳이었다. (이 대형금융사는 부시일당이 소유한 군산복합체 중심은행이엇는데 이런 십분지 일토막이 나는 처참한 신세를 눈여겨 볼 필요가 있다.)

4)골드만삭이 올해 3사분기에 손실을 기록할 전망이어서 임직원 상여금이 거의 없을 것이란 보고가 있다. 이들은 유럽국 채권으로 장사하다가 홀라당 들어먹은 케이스이다.

5) 그 골드만삭이 떡하니 금융전망을 발표하길 경기 대침체 Great Stagnation 에 들어갈 확률이 40%라고 선언한다. (좋아하시네, 금융을 관찰하는 이들은 99%로 알고 대비했다.)

6) 유럽 대형은행, 덱시아 Dexia 는 그날 구제금융을 받아야할 처지라는 소문에 의거 10% 주식 폭락됨. 그외에도 유럽 대형은행들은 수주간 엄청난 침체속에 있다.

7, 8) 미국 AA 항공사 주식은 곧 파산에 들어간다는 소문 때문에 그날 33% 주식폭락. 이 회사는 월요일만 7차례 주식거래가 중지?다.

이 회사 240명 항공조종사가 지난 두달동안 은퇴했다. 이들은 회사가 파산되기 전에 은퇴함으로 자기네 연금수령을 보호하려 했다.

9) 미국 거의 모든 항공사들이 그날 심각하게 주식폭락됨.

10) 미국 주식이 올해 3사분기에 14%나 폭락함. 4사분기는 심각하게 동요상태로 출발.

11 ~ 14) 유럽중앙은행장 드라기는 유럽은행에 자금공급이 되지않는 심각한 문제를 인정함. 이는 심각한 신용붕괴상태임.

그리스는 재정적자 감소목표액을 맞추지 못함. 이것은 유럽은행들에 위험요인이됨.

독일 재무장관 쇼불레는 유럽국가 구제금융 자금에 더이상의 돈을 태울수없다고 선언함.

독일은 자금 고갈 상태로 더 이상의 화폐공급도 하지못함.

Bad Financial News Keeps Pouring In: 14 Facts That Just Might Scare The Living Daylights Out Of You

Will the bad financial news ever stop?  A lot of people in the financial world were hoping for a much better fourth quarter after an absolutely disastrous third quarter.  Well, if Monday was any indication, October could end up being a really rough month for global financial markets.  So much bad financial news keeps pouring in that it really is a challenge to try to keep track of it all.  Greece seems to get closer to defaulting on their debts with each passing day, and it appears that Germany is not going to contribute any more bailout money beyond what they have already committed to.  Major banks on both sides of the Atlantic are on the verge of collapse, and investors all over the world are afraid that we may have another "Lehman Brothers moment" soon.  Shares of American Airlines dropped a staggering 33 percent on Monday as rumors that they will soon be entering bankruptcy swirled.  Yes, things certainly are getting interesting.  Back in 2008, the governments of the western world saved the financial system with gigantic bailouts that were absolutely unprecedented.  If the financial system crashes again at some point in the coming weeks or months, will the political will for more bank bailouts be there?  If not, what is going to happen to the banking system?

On both sides of the Atlantic, the big banks are highly leveraged, they have taken on a ton of risk and they are very deeply exposed to derivatives.  It is as if virtually nobody learned any lessons during the financial crisis of 2008.  Once again we are facing a situation where if a couple of financial dominoes fall it could send dozens of others tumbling to the ground.

Some very significant things happened on Monday.  But the media has gotten so used to reporting on tremendous financial instability that Monday's events mostly got brushed to the side.  Instead, Amanda Knox captured most of the headlines.

But the reality is that some really, really monumental stuff has been going down.

The following are 14 facts that just might scare the living daylights out of you....

#1 On Monday, the Dow was down 258 points.  Lately it seems as though the Dow has been going up or down by several hundred points almost every single day, and that much volatility is not a good sign for the health of the financial system.

#2 Shares of Wall Street banking giant Morgan Stanley fell by another 8 percent on Monday.  Overall, shares of Morgan Stanley have declined by more than 50 percent since February.

#3 Bank of America stock dropped down to $5.53 a share on Monday.  Just a few years ago, it was tradingfor more than $50 a share.

#4 There are reports that Goldman Sachs may actually show a loss for the third quarter of 2011 and that yearly bonuses for employees may be slashed to next to nothing.  Yes, not too many people are going to have sympathy for Goldman Sachs, but this just shows how bad things are getting out there for the big Wall Street banks.

#5 Normally Goldman Sachs is quite upbeat, but lately they have been coming out with some really frightening reports.  For example, a new report from Goldman Sachs declares that there is a 40 percent chance that we are entering a "Great Stagnation".

#6 Shares of European banking giant Dexia plunged by about 10 percent on Monday on rumors that it will soon need a significant bailout.  The stocks of major banks all across Europe have been getting absolutely hammered for weeks.

#7 Shares of American Airlines fell by 33 percent on Monday on rumors that the airline is about to enter bankruptcy.  Amazingly, trading in the stock was stopped 7 different times on Monday.

#8 It is being reported that approximately 240 pilots for American Airlines have retired in the last two months alone.  All of those pilots are retiring so that they can shield their pensions from the upcoming bankruptcy filing.

#9 Nearly the entire airline industry got hit really hard on Monday.  Shares of United Continental, U.S. Airways and Delta were all down more than 10 percent.

#10 Overall, U.S. stocks fell by 14 percent during the third quarter of 2011, and now the fourth quarter is off to a very rocky start.

#11 The incoming head of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi, has publicly admitted that major European banks are having "funding problems".  Just like back in 2008, we are rapidly heading for a giant "credit crunch".

#12 A shocking new Bloomberg survey has found that approximately one out of every three international investors expects a "global economic meltdown" within the next 12 months, and 70 percent of them believe that the global economy is "deteriorating".  Perhaps they have been reading The Economic Collapse Blog too much.

#13 Financial markets in Europe were rocked on Monday when it was revealed that Greece is not going to hit the deficit reduction targets set for it either this year or next year despite all of the severe austerity measures that have already been implemented.  Needless to say, a lot of financial authorities in Europe were very displeased by this news.

#14 German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble is publicly declaring that Germany will not contribute any more money to the European bailout fund.

The truth is that the political will for more bailouts has totally dried up in Germany.

The recent vote by the Bundestag to approve money for the European rescue fund should not be misinterpreted.

That vote simply approved money that was part of a deal that was agreed to over two months ago.

What is more important is what many major German politicians said after the vote.  Essentially, the overwhelming consensus is that Germany is done contributing money.  Once the money is gone from the current bailout pool (which is not anywhere close to what is really needed), there will be no more money from Germany.

That means that the era of the bailouts in Europe is drawing to a close.

In a recent editorial, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard described the situation in Germany in this manner....

The furious debate over the erosion of German fiscal sovereignty and democracy ? as well as the escalating costs of the EU rescue machinery ? has made it absolutely clear that the Bundestag will not prop up the ruins of monetary union for much longer.

Horst Seehofer, the leader of Bavaria’s Social Christians, said his party would go "this far, and no further".

Let that last phrase sink in.

Basically, what politicians all over Germany are saying is that Germany has now done all that it is going to do.

The implications of this are huge.

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard recognized this in his editorial.  In fact, the usually reserved journalist actually used all caps for six straight sentences and broke out some very strong language that is very uncharacteristic for him....

Repeat after me:

THERE WILL BE NO FISCAL UNION.

THERE WILL BE NO EUROBONDS.

THERE WILL BE NO DEBT POOL.

THERE WILL BE NO EU TREASURY.

THERE WILL BE NO FISCAL TRANSFERS IN PERPETUITY.

THERE WILL BE A STABILITY UNION ? OR NO MONETARY UNION.

Get used to it. This is the political reality of Europe, since nothing of importance can be done without Germany. All else is wishful thinking, clutching at straws, and evasion. If this means the euro will shed some members or blow apart ? as it almost certainly does ? then the rest of the world must prepare for the day.

Basically, this is his way of saying that "the sky is falling" and that the financial system of Europe is doomed.

If you have followed the writing of Ambrose Evans-Pritchard for any length of time, then you know that he is one of the most respected financial journalists in the world and that he is not prone to indulge in much "doom and gloom".  For him to say what he did is very significant.

But even if there were no financial problems in Europe, the United States would probably be slipping into another recession anyway.

Right now our economy is a total mess, and all kinds of people are coming out of the woodwork and are trying to take credit for "calling" the upcoming recession.

Some of the pronouncements are so bold that you would think that some half-crazed blogger wrote them.  For example, just check out the following quote from a report recently put out by the Economic Cycle Research Institute....

"Here's what ECRI's recession call really says: If you think this is a bad economy, you haven't seen anything yet."

But do the American people really need some experts to tell them that we are going into another recession?

The American people know what is going on.

According to one recent poll, 90 percent of the American people believe that economic conditions in the United States are "poor".  According to another recent poll, 80 percent of the American people believe that we are actually in a recession right now.

So perhaps the American people are actually ahead of most of the so-called "experts".

In any event, economic conditions in the United States continue to get worse.  The average American family is having a harder and harder time getting to the end of each month.  According to a Harris Interactive survey taken near the end of last year, 77 percent of all Americans are now living paycheck to paycheck.  In 2007, the same survey found that only 43 percent of Americans were living paycheck to paycheck.

At least Barack Obama is not talking so much about an "economic recovery" these days.  When asked recently if Americans are better off today than they were four years ago, Obama said the following....

"Well, I don't think they're better off than they were four years ago."

Finally, something that we can all agree with Barack Obama about.

Sadly, things are about to get even worse.

Pay close attention to all of the bad financial news that keeps pouring in.

Just like in 2008, something really big is happening.

When the current bailout fund in Europe runs out in a few months, things could really start to unravel.

If Greece (or any other eurozone nation for that matter) defaults, it could set off a chain of financial events so catastrophic that it just might scare the living daylights out of all of us.

Let us hope for the best, but let us also prepare for the worst.

Tremendous fear and panic has gripped the financial world, and the underlying problems causing this crisis are not going to be solved any time soon.

We are about to enter unprecedented territory.

Hold on tight.
