Daily Report for Sat, Oct 11, 2008

Outright seize-up of the banking credit system; absolute turmoil in currency and commodity markets; the collapse of capital markets; and a global economy that teeters on the brink of a depression! We are living history.

Just how bad are things? Bloomberg summed it up this way: “U.S. stocks fell for an eighth straight day, yesterday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average capping its worst week since 1914. The MSCI World Index of equities in 23 developed countries slid 20 percent this week, the most since records began in 1970.”

Leaders of the world will now attempt to rewrite the rules of international finance, and may have to shut the capital markets for a time to accomplish this, says a G-7 leader. Finally; a responsible politician has admitted the system is broke and must be replaced.

Where else have you been reading that a General Agreement on Currencies would be needed before global leaders could go on about their business of building a new financial system? Yes, if you search this site in the window on the sidebar, you will find at least 180 citations for General Agreement on Currencies. You will not find that anywhere else you look, at least not until today.

Moreover, who else in the Wall Street Journal, as early as June 2006, was warning of this disaster, while others demanded that markets run free? My arguments were laughed at. But; who among these skeptics is laughing now?

Some Observers Warn of Disaster, Others Say Funds Need to Run Free

Who else has been opining that since he was hired by the White House every move by the Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has been an unmitigated disaster for the people, calling it, from the beginning, ‘Paulson’s Folly’?

The world has arrived at precisely the point that I strongly argued over the past three years would be the result of a bankers’ self-regulatory system run amok. The world must put an end to financial self-regulation and conflict of interest dealings by bankers. Now!

I will not write the usual Saturday Report today because the financial system is finished, at least temporarily suspended. What happened yesterday illustrates that markets no longer work as value discovery mechanisms. But, yes, I will cover Friday’s destruction in Sunday’s Week In Review, and I will also attempt to answer your fears and concerns.

Moreover, I will restate why the system is broke, what surely needs to be done to replace it, and why many of the key people in charge today – the central bankers and the Wall St bankers who have been recruited into the Office of the Treasury Department -- must not be allowed to make the most important decision in the history of the world.

For now I will just publish the automated portion of my Report. Since it is the people’s capital – your portfolios, your Funds, your pensions -- that has been destroyed over the past one, two, four, and 52-weeks, it is important that you face up to your naïveté and/or your denial. Trust me; your banker is never going to make that statement.

In fact there is, in Canada, the ludicrous, ubiquitous, TV commercials of ScotiaBank (“You’re richer than you think you are!”) that tell you all you need to know how morally corrupt many bankers have become and why those at the source of the global financial crisis cannot be part of the decision-making group that develops a solution that meets the needs of the people.

Let’s get the foxes out of the henhouse, now! Get yourself in the proper frame of mind to do so by scanning the 15 tables at the bottom of this report. It ought to be enough to make you sick.
