It still isn't the right time to think about buying even for long term investment. The shares will tank still, it hasn't bottomed out yet. Wait for the US/EU regulators to make their mind up.Originally posted by SimonMac View PostComment

2015-09-22 The End Game Has Begun
.. Here are the facts:
1) The REAL problem for the financial system is the bond bubble. In 2008 when the crisis hit it was $80 trillion. It has since grown to over $100 trillion.
2) The derivatives market that uses this bond bubble as collateral is over $555 trillion in size.
3) Many of the large multinational corporations, sovereign governments, and even municipalities have used derivatives to fake earnings and hide debt. NO ONE knows to what degree this has been the case, but given that 20% of corporate CFOs have admitted to faking earnings in the past, it’s likely a significant amount.
4) Corporations today are more leveraged than they were in 2007. As Stanley Druckenmiller noted recently, in 2007 corporate bonds were $3.5 trillion… today they are $7 trillion: an amount equal to nearly 50% of US GDP.
5) The Central Banks are now all leveraged at levels greater than or equal to where Lehman Brothers was when it imploded. The Fed is leveraged at 78 to 1. The ECB is leveraged at over 26 to 1. Lehman Brothers was leveraged at 30 to 1.
6) The Central Banks have no idea how to exit their strategies. Fed minutes released from 2009 show Janet Yellen was worried about how to exit when the Fed’s balance sheet was $1.3 trillion (back in 2009). Today it’s over $4.5 trillion.
We are heading for a crisis that will be exponentially worse than 2008. The global Central Banks have literally bet the financial system that their theories will work. They haven’t. All they’ve done is set the stage for an even worse crisis in which entire countries will go bankrupt. ...

It's funny how these super clever "analysts" always warn of a crash after a crash. They also tell us to pile in before any crash. What a ******* excellent job they have. So clever they are.Originally posted by AtW View PostComment

They're having the last laugh though, because they aren't making their money from trading. It goes something like this: markets down 1+% today, wheel out Dr Doom to sell his latest book about why we're all doomed; markets up 1+% today, wheel out giddy optimist guy to promote his new monster options trading service. That's the problem with online news. They need to continuously fill a vacuum with "stuff", including on days when there's feck all going on.Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostComment

It's got a mind of its own.Comment
