"The Field Where Lehman Died" Is About to Get Bloody Again

By , Special Contributor, Money Morning -

Cameras rolled as Fed Chair Jerome Powell dished out more accommodative rate cuts for his Wall Street masters on Wednesday...

... but he didn't say one word about the ongoing, extraordinary, and profoundly unsettling intervention in the "repo," or repurchasing markets.

We're three days into this silent crisis. It shows no signs of letting up. The Fed has pumped around $205 billion in emergency liquidity into this little-known but crucially important funding mechanism for banks - but it's been totally downplayed by the spinmeisters in the Marriner S. Eccles Building.

Folks, we're living through some of the most dangerous and dicey times since October 2008. And we deserve to know the truth about how thin the ice beneath our feet is.

Since we're not likely to get that from anyone in the D.C.-Wall Street pipeline, I'll lay out what's really going on here...

These Signs Point to a Potential 2019 Stock Market Crash

By , Money Morning -

July was a banner month for major market averages – while Wall Street, the Federal Reserve and Congress are all pointing to a potential 2019 stock market crash.

It’s easy to notice how the S&P 500 passed 3,000 on July 10, then how the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached its highest point in history on July 15.

But if you take a closer look, you’ll find there are significant stock market crash warnings on the horizon.

What Everyone Should Know About the Biggest Financial Con Job in History

By , Special Contributor, Money Morning -

American investors have never experienced such a profitable run...

The bull market in stocks, now in its 11th year, is officially the longest on record. Many shareholders have tripled their money since 2009. This bull market has created more U.S. millionaires than ever before. Households with a net worth exceeding $1 million have increased to 11.8 million in 2018 - that's more than the population of Greece or Portugal...

On the surface, the economy is humming, too.

The reported U.S. unemployment rate fell to 3.6%, the lowest it's been in 50 years...

The median household income is now above where it was in 2007 (and climbing), and U.S. national home prices are holding up well.

There's just one BIG problem: More than half of all this new wealth is set to vanish. It could start to happen as early as Labor Day.

And this wealth isn't just going to up and disappear on its own. It's essentially going to be taken from the American people via an unholy combination of callous greed, breathtaking stupidity, and outright malicious lies.

Yes, this is disaster by design - and there are fingerprints all over it...

Why These 3 Stock Market Crash Warning Signs Are Urgent

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

July has been yet another historic month for the longest bull market on record.

The S&P 500 broke 3,000 points for the first time in history last week (July 10).

And the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high on Monday (July 15).

And still, the stock market crash warning signs - whether from Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, or Congress - are too many to ignore.

Growth on the S&P 500 and Dow indexes make it easy to believe Wall Street is safe.

Many investors are still racing hand over fist to get in on the action. But smart investors shouldn’t get carried away.

Brace for a Stock Market Crash as Politicians Sour on Share Buybacks

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

Threats to share buybacks are likely to trigger a stock market crash within the next two to three years.

Some candidates for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination are even calling for an outright ban.

But few realize just how dependent the market has become on stock buybacks.

Much of the gains of the bull market are due to buybacks - and we have the proof.

These figures are nothing short of astonishing...

This Chart Warns a Stock Market Crash Is Just Over the Horizon

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @DavidGZeiler -

A particularly ominous indicator has reached a tipping point that suggests we're dangerously close to a stock market crash. The consumer confidence index, celebrated last fall for soaring to unusually high levels, has begun to falter. The long-term chart shows that this pattern almost always precedes a recession - an event that would surely take down the stock market.

Why a Panic-Driven Market Crash Could Be the Most Profitable Event of the Decade

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW -

Back in October, JPMorgan Chase analysts Eduardo Lecubarri and Nishchay Dayal warned that the $7.4 trillion of global assets parked in passive funds could "exacerbate a rout" during the "next recession."

Well, they were half right: We're not in a recession.

But the escalating sell-off - especially in the highflying, index-leading big-cap stocks - is weighing heavily on passive investors.

"Weighing heavily," as in, passive investors are losing lots of money just about every day.

Active investors and traders, like us, have options. We can hedge, we can get short, trade puts, even go to cash - there are moves we can make.

Passive investors? Well, they could become active in a major way just about any day now. The panic would be legendary.

If that happens - and we are getting close to market levels that could turn passive investors into very active panic-sellers - a crash may not be far off.

The good news is, if you're ready for what could be coming, you stand to make a huge amount of money in a hurry...

The Best Place to Hide If Markets Tumble

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report -

Ask almost any investor what they fear most as we head into 2019, and the answer is usually quite clear...

Another major market tumble.

Why really doesn't factor into their thinking. Simply that it could happen is what has a lot of folks jumpy.

My email is overflowing with questions regarding my take on recent market moves.

Stocks are up... then down... then up again.

We've talked at length about "why" in recent weeks, and you've got a handle on that. If not, here's an article that lays it out for you, in case you're joining us today for the first time or in case you'd like to reread some of my earlier perspective.

Computerization, a change in psyche, slowing growth, politics, China, Brexit... they're all tremendously complicated inputs. But they're also potentially very profitable – at least if you know what to look for.

Which stocks can survive the storm? Puts, inverse funds, the Weekly Whizbang... tactically speaking, there are all kinds of ways you can trade current events for big profits.

The conversation has shifted, though.

Now you want to know if there's any place to hide.

In a word...

Yes!

In fact, the recommendation I want to share with you today may just be the biggest source of hidden profits on the planet today.

What's more, it's primed for a huge rise the next time stocks take a tumble...

How the Market Could Spiral Out of Control Like 2008

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW -

Rising interest rates, toothless FAANG stocks, domestic and international political uncertainty and tension, Brexit, crude oil - take your pick. The market's got a lot on its mind right now.

You can turn on any cable news channel and watch folks holding forth on these and a handful of other worries.

But what you won't hear about is a heavy and potentially very dangerous factor out there creeping in around the edges.

I'm talking about correlation - and why it could quickly become a nightmare for unprepared investors...
