Crisis? What Crisis? You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!
And the situation is about to get even worse. According to the latest report from the International Labour Organization (ILO) a double-dip jobs recession is about to start and social strife is about to break out like a disease.

The Next Stage Of The European Debt Crisis; Towards Global Financial Collapse? - Bob Chapman
Those who believe the European crisis is over are mistaken. The dislocation will continue as their economies slow and political, social and economic events converge into further crisis. The most glaring problem is the banks only taking a 50% loss on Greek bonds. The loss should have been 75% or even 80%. There is absolutely no way Greece can overcome that burden in a slowing European economy and an enraged population. They are still striking and demonstrating and they will continue even under a new government.

Market Overvaluation Times 4
Here is a summary of the four market valuation indicators I updated yesterday:
● The Crestmont Research P/E Ratio
● The cyclical P/E ratio using the trailing
10-year earnings as the divisor
● The Q Ratio, which is the total price of the
market divided by its replacement cost
● The relationship of the S&P Composite to
a regression trendline

Stock Market Entering the Flash Crash Zone
The VIX completed a 47% retracement of its impulse off its Master Cycle low at 24.44. It now has the ability to rally through the end of December, according to the predominant cycle patterns. It is probable the VIX may put in its 13-year cycle high in December, or possibly early next year. This is something that I have been saying for the better part of the last year.

Technical Gold: Ready to Break The $1900’s?
It’s been several weeks since I’ve written about Gold and we have had a wild ride since the 1910-1920 highs in August. At the time as we approached I forecasted a major correction was nigh and we were shorting the rise from 1862-1910 prior to a huge $208 drop that took place over just a few days. We covered our short at $1725 and then Gold rallied back to a double top at $1920 and then fell back to $1531.
