This Is For The ‘Nothing Is Happening’ Crowd…

Wake Up - Public Domain

A lot of people out there expected something to happen in September that did not ultimately happen.  There were all kinds of wild theories floating around, and many of them had no basis in reality whatsoever.  But without a doubt, some very important things did happen in September.  As I warned about ahead of time, we are witnessing the most significant global financial meltdown since the end of 2008.  All of the largest stock markets in the world are crashing simultaneously, and so far the amount of wealth that has been wiped out worldwide is in excess of 5 trillion dollars.  In addition to stocks, junk bonds are also crashing, and Bank of America says that it is a “slow moving trainwreck that seems to be accelerating“.  Thanks to the commodity price crash, many of the largest commodity traders on the planet are now imploding.  I wrote about the death spiral that has gripped Glencore yesterday.  On Tuesday, the stock price of the largest commodity trader in Asia, the Noble Group, plummeted like a rock and commodity trading giant Trafigura appears to be in worse shape than either Glencore or the Noble Group.  The total collapse of any of them could easily be a bigger event than the implosion of Lehman Brothers in 2008.  So I honestly do not understand the “nothing is happening” crowd.  It takes ignorance on an almost unbelievable level to try to claim that “nothing is happening” in the financial world right now.

Within the last 60 days, we have seen some things happen that we have never seen before.

For example, did you know that we witnessed the greatest intraday stock market crash in U.S. history on August 24th?

While I personally thought that we would have a major economic event in September, the above information should not be interpreted as an apologetic response. September was an important month and major economic events did occur. Whether World War III has started in Syria as some people are stating, we will know in a short period of time.

There are two certainties:

  1. There is nothing that any one person can do to change the inevitable consequences of apathy and political ambitions running unchecked.
  2. September was not a good month for the world’s economies or stability.

I’ll ask it again….

How can the price of a product drop if one has access to all the money needed to continue buying a particular product? That is unless it is by design.

It is inevitable, that is the only way out of this David.

On a side note, it is very hard for me to post on this site lately, not sure what exactly going on, but it happens where ever I try to post on the net….. I do have have a pretty good idea though….

“While I personally thought that we would have a major economic event in September”

The start of a collapse was clearly seem in September. So you where wrong to think that you where wrong. The worst things usually start out slow and unnoticed.
