      US needs the coperation and help from the no.2 economy. No.3 brother is now struggling can’t help much.


      My personal view is that though the risk of double bottom in US has increased significantly, whether it will eventually materialise is still uncertain at thispoint as a lot still depends on their policy decisions and politicians from both sides of divide.

      For retail players, best to sit out as the macro picture in the west is bleak though many leading US conpanies are currently reporting good numbers.

        A super great depression is definitely in the card. Just that they maybe able to postpone it again through another round of easing. It could be call QE3 or another name.


        That is also another reason why i wrote in the "MAS lost10 billions" thread that it is critical that our central bank sees the importance of holding part our reserve in gold-a non fiat currency contrary to all other currencies which are fiat.

          Yup... that's what it is...

          But the US companies reporting good numbers are not giving good forward guidance...

          And it is not likely to be the final end to this... more debt will be created, more inflation, more of the same medicine that we all know so clearly does not work in the long run.

          It's in the making... and the picture is getting clearer...

              if you talk to the bankers on the Street, the consensus is that double bottom is surely on the way

Bear markets see them lose $$$. So, at times, need a more objective POV... A dead cat bounce is no double bottom IMHO.

                      Again, the game changes as Edureach put it... When the powers that be throw money... Then it repeats the cycle... And when the money runs out and we are left with debts to pay and inflation... It's a party like the 70s!
