Robert Prechter: 'Stock Market at High Risk of Collapse' By Dan Weil | Wednesday, 10 Jun 2015 04:39 AM Robert Prechter, the stock market guru who rose to fame with his prescient prediction of a bull market for the 1980s, isn't so bullish now. He bases his forecasts on technical analysis known as Elliott Wave theory. "If the cycle is still operating, the stock market is at high risk of a sharp collapse," Prechter told MarketWatch. "Near-term, we’re prepared to see the Dow [Jones Industrial Average] make one more high. But it doesn’t have to happen." The Dow has nearly tripled since March 2009 and last touched an all-time peak May 19. It ...

Of course, anybody with some common sense knows this won’t work. Renowned financial analyst and author of The Big Reset, Willem Middelkoop, says: “A system reset is imminent. There are only two options: a ...

The Job Market Will Get Much Worse, JPMorgan Warns

Submitted by Daniel Drew via Dark-Bid.com, As Zero Hedge reports every month, the labor force participation rate is at multi-decade lows. Michael Feroli, a JPMorgan economist, said the economy will produce even fewer jobs in the future. In the last ten years, the U.S. saw 68,000 new jobs per month. Meanwhile, the population grew by over 200,000 per month. The last decade's data was marred by severe job losses in 2008. From 1995 - 2005, it was normal to see 300,000 new jobs per month in good years, and the bad years didn't come close to the 2008 horror show. Job creation is on a slight uptrend now, but it still hasn't kept up with population growth. Even worse, Feroli says he ...

Want.. China is the world's largest hydro power producer and is expected to share its technology with the world despite challenges at home, according to the China Economic Weekly. During the World Hydropower Congress (WHC) in Beijing from May 19 to 21, International Hydropower Association (IHA) president Ken Adams said China is becoming a hydropower superpower. China's installed hydropower capacity of 300 million kilowatts (300 gigawatts) led the world and accounted for 27% of global capacity in 2014, the magazine said.

There was a lot to celebrate in the Magic Kingdom this year. The Disney Corporation had its most profitable year ever, with profits of $7.5 billion—up 22 percent from the previous year. Disney’s stock price is up approximately 150 percent over the past three years. These kinds of results have paid off handsomely for its CEO Bob Iger, who took home $46 million in compensation last year. Disney prides itself on its recipe for “delighting customers,” a recipe it says includes putting employees first. They tout this as a key to their success in creating “a culture where going the extra mile for customers comes naturally” for employees. One method of creating ...

Report: China to have veto at new bank

PressTV... A new China-led infrastructure bank aims to differentiate itself from other lenders with a leaner, more efficient structure that ultimately gives Beijing veto power over major decisions, people close to the institution say. The new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which will be based in the Chinese capital, has 57 prospective members. The AIIB is being billed as rival to the World Bank and Asian Development Bank which are under the US control. The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday quoted what it described as people close to the bank as saying its voting structure will give China the "upper hand" as the largest shareholder, effectively granting it veto power. ...

Want... Russia reportedly plans to float renminbi-denominated bonds in 2016, with the aim of boosting the share of such bonds in its bond market to 20% within five years, according to Shanghai's China Business News. The news, if confirmed, marks another stride in the internationalization of the renminbi, in the wake of the issuance of renminbi-denominated bonds in the UK in October 2014. Analysts said that the renminbi bond plan is significant for China's "Belt and Road" project, currently being touted by the Chinese government, as it embodies an option for fundraising for major infrastructural facilities envisioned by the project, especially in view of the status of ...

Will Fed Walk the Walk? Mike Burnick | Monday, June 8, 2015 at 4:20 pm (Mike Larson is away today. Mike Burnick, editor of Martin’s Ultimate Portfolio and Ultimate Stock Options, is filling in.) Federal Reserve officials seem intent on raising interest rates at some point this year. They have been talking the talk for months now, but the question is, will they walk the walk? Just last week, New York Fed President Bill Dudley stated that as long as data on jobs and inflation cooperates, the Fed is on track to “begin normalizing monetary policy later this year” … That Fedspeak tells us higher rates are coming; it’s only a matter of when and how high. But Dudley ...

June 25,2009 Inflation in America – What will hyperinflation look like? 25 Inferior economic thinkers have dominated American politics for the last 100 years. Short-cuts, cheap debt, and market manipulating policies will collapse the US monetary system. Almost all economists and politicians in power are Keynesian economists. They believe the free market is chaotic, illogical, and inefficient. They believe a handful of people in powerful positions are better at telling people what they need instead of millions of people telling the market what they need.  Keynesians believe they can prevent the cycles of boom and bust but have a terrible track record of controlling ...

RETURN EVIL FOR GOOD .. In 1910, three years before the US Federal Reserve was founded, Senator Nelson Aldrich, Frank Vanderlip of National City (Citibank), Henry Davison of Morgan Bank, and Paul Warburg of the Kuhn, Loeb Investment House met secretly at Jekyll Island in Georgia to formulate a plan for a US central bank just years ahead of World War I. The result of their work was the so-called Aldrich Plan which called for a system of fifteen regional central banks, i.e., National Reserve Associations, whose actions would be coordinated by a national board of commercial bankers. The Reserve Association would make emergency loans to member banks, and would create money to provide an ...

Our financial system could take a surprising and catastrophic twist that almost nobody imagines, let alone anticipates. Do you remember when a lethal tsunami hit the beaches of Southeast Asia, killing thousands of people and causing billions of dollars of damage? Well, just before the 80-foot wall of water slammed into the coast an odd thing happened: The water disappeared. The tide went out farther than anyone had ever seen ...

The Danes Are Revolting: Tax Administration Set On Fire Published: June 7, 2015 Source: Zero Hedge In Fredensborg, Denmark, ten official cars from the Tax Administration Office were set on fire and destroyed overnight in a protest. As ExstraBladet reports, police received notification Wednesday night at 3:09 a.m. that the Tax Administration offices on Kratvej were on fire. So far, there are no suspects. But, as Martin Armstrong notes, the police will undoubtedly hunt for someone retaliating against the Tax Man.

Why Is The EU Forcing European Nations To Adopt ‘Bail-In’ Legislation By The End Of The Summer?

Are they expecting something to happen? As you will read about below, the European Union says that any nation within the EU that does not enact “bail-in” legislation within the next two months will face legal action. The countries that are being threatened in this manner include Italy and France. If you fast forward two months from this moment, that puts us in early August. So clearly the European Union wants everything to be squared away by the end of the summer. Is there a reason for this? Are they anticipating that something really bad will happen in September or thereafter? Why such a rush? We all remember what happened when major banks were “bailed out” during the ...

Turning A Corner: The U.S. Economy Will Soon Officially Re-Enter The “Super Recession” Posted by David Morgan on April 11, 2015 · Leave a Comment First quarter economic contraction is all but a guarantee. Over 7 years after the “super recession” started, the economy will almost assuredly enter an “Official Recession” that began in January. The economic data, which is heavily manipulated by the government to such a degree that it has shown the U.S. recovered from the “super recession” of 08’, is beyond ridiculous. A long book could be written on this topic, both how GDP is calculated as well as the C.P.I (nominal GDP growth – C.P.I ...

U.S. worker productivity fell in the opening months of 2015, underscoring an economic soft patch marked by weak business investment and tepid wage gains. The productivity of nonfarm workers, measured as the output of goods and services per hour worked, decreased at a 3.1% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter, the Labor Department said Thursday. That was revised down from an initial estimate of a 1.9% slide. Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal had forecast a 3% decline for the first quarter. Productivity dropped in the first quarter as output decreased at a 1.6% pace and hours worked rose at a 1.6% rate. A gauge of compensation costs, unit labor costs, ...

On October 3, 2012, consulting firm Medley Global Advisors sent a newsletter to clients entitled “Fed: December Bound.” The "special report" essentially constituted an early leak of the minutes from the FOMC's September meeting, at which the central bank launched the third installment of QE. An internal investigation by then-Chairman Bernanke revealed that indeed, some members of the committee had met with the firm that year but the names were not disclosed.On April 15, Congress sent Yellen a letter requesting that the Fed furnish a list of names no later than April 22. That deadline came and went with no response.  On May 4, the Fed acknowledged ...
