Ah but they didnt have as many tools to debase the currency back then
got to be honest at the moment though - i am unsure if they are acting fast enough to reflate - and if they act too fast its hyperinflation

QUOTE
The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin . . . . Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again. . . . Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in. . . . But, if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit.

Brilliant comment really. While it was impressive, this bounce means next to nothing.
You can't tax deflation.
“Currency Induced Cost-Push Hyperinflation” vs “Demand-Pull (non-hyper) Inflation.”
The "no income --> no inflation"-thesis is as wrong as the "price control --> inflation control"-thesis.

Exactly, traders were looking for a catalyst for a bounce, it'll take a lot more than this to convince me that this is the bottom.

My questions are:
1. How high will it bounce ?
2. How long will it take ? Am I silly watching it today waiting to see if it hits a top ?
3. Has anyone noticed the sheer rate of increase of the EURJPY ? Am I the only one that thinks markets that go up that quickly, end up hitting a brick wall and coming down mighty fast ?

how big a bounce? how long?
those are the questions i will be contemplating
SPX-1060 is likely, and SPX-1200 is a remote possbility
==
Nice chart, Narco.
I think I may fiddle with the title here, to encourage some more long term thinking
Look at how they walked it down...
Why the 1929-32 pattern may not repeat:
+ The Crash of that time is buried in people's memories (especially Ben Bernanke's),
and they are keen not to repeat it
+ The banks got scared and started withdrawing credit, and the government stood back
and let the free market operate
+ The Dollar was linked to gold and was a creditor nation. Now there is no gold link, and
there is an incentive to have the dollar lose value since that will make the debt burden seem
like less in relation to a revived export sector
+ Oil import dependence is a huge vulnerability, and if the dollar is to fall, the US will have to
cope with the likelihood that the dollar price of oil imports will rise, perhaps massively

This does look like a dead cat bounce given what happened Friday in the US markets. Having said this, there are more tools now. Still have trouble buying into the market after being out for so long because there are no confirmations yets.
How does one play in this type of a market? The market is still way below the 200 day average.

Listen to Investors Digest.
They talk about the need for a second day of strength, 3-5 days later.
I will be checking out Tom Obrien's podcast on TFNN.com, to hear more precise detail.
Anyway, i think there's a good chance the lows will be retested/beat in 2009, if not briefly in late october
(look at the Larry P/ thread, his forecast is still very much on track.)
As Auters says, the fact that it happened on light volume, means it carries less significance

Monday and Tuesday are crucial days according to Larry P on last Fridays Tom Obrien show. He did n't say exactly why but I think it's got something to do with his astrological theories. He reckons that we have n't seen the big down day like happened in 1837 and if we are going to see it, it will be on one of these two days. I'm going in on the DOG tomorrow, the proshares one that is 
The entire modern financial system is based upon a very small group of people having the power to create money out of thin air.

serious question:
does science or sentiment predict the markets I wonder ?
do the charts get it right just because sentiment paves the way ahead ?
aren't the big crashes always in Sept/Oct
following on from my we have charts'n'graphs to back us up post
ps - love the thread title.....
