Pick your century:
"The global economy now faces the potential for a late-20th-century-style spike in oil prices, a 21st-century global financial shock — and an old-fashioned 19th-century-style slowdown in global trade."
–Simon Johnson, chief IMF economist

Not to mention the risk of attack from lunatics who want to bring back the 12th Century.
If that is from the WSJ then we have yet another attempt at “finding the bottom” since as they’ve pointed out numerous times that the news is the worst at the bottom.
Thanks For that (if in fact it is you Rupert)

why would the globe be immune to a “slowing” US?
how independent do you guys think the old economies are?
the “new” giant of china is an infrastructure not consumer economy
interim bull markets don’t break sharply until all the real bad news is nearly out and unless santa is bringing capital adequacy,a cure for siv etc etc for christmas you’ve got a long way to go
baruch said on people who got out “at the top” “only liars can do that”
the same thing applies to “calling the bottom” except its “liars and historians”

if we are lucky…..
I get the impression that too many people on this board don’t know what “bad news” is. If your under 35 years of age you have not wittnessed bad economic news. Yes there was the 87 crash, a down-turn in 89, etc., but really until you feel, first hand interest rates in the teens and inflation there also, and people talking about “just hoping to some day afford a house, etc…” That is why these folks thinking that the news reports today are marking a bottom just have no idea. And keep in mind that our media is much more “sensationalist today,” so doom and gloom stories today in the news don’t equate to the same things as they did years ago. JMHO
Peter,
I believe Paulson was talking about a combination of prime, alt-A, and subprime loans, better known to insiders as subslime.
Barry,
Graet blog, keep up the good work.
Paulson and others are destroying world demand for the Dollar, they are setting-up the system to reboot. Tax-free bonds, what a joke, as housevalues drop so will 401(k)/IRA/Mutual Funds.

Bluzer you are so right, although to get some experience, someone will take out some nicks from your hide. All scars are to worn proudly. I remember the nify fifty, when IFF had a multiple about thirty times higher than US Steel. Now why can’t that go on forever? This does not smell anything like a bottom yet.
