III. A Financial Emergency Is Coming
A "financial 911" -- a "financial armageddon" is coming, likely due to a "systemic margin call" related to the credit default swaps -- the CDS, or ongoing Treasury market repos, the result of which will be a run on the dollar, a stock market meltdown, and a sell off of US Treasury Bonds.
The dollar's continual decline will be coming from a decline in stocks as the current rally ended yesterday: foreign investors are going to pull out of dollar denominated stocks realing from deleveraging investment banker and real estate assets. In as much as gold trades inversely with gold, it will be going up. Another reason for gold increasing is that Bernanke is going to testify April 2, 2008 before Congress: the currency traders are likely to run up the Yen, FXY, and the Euro, FXE, as preemptive punishment for his actions in debasing the US currency.
The ongoing chart of the US Dollar, $USD, shows that it has fallen to near an all time low at 71.70.
The stock market's continual decline will be coming from two sources. First, Eddy Elfenbein provides the chart of borrowing from the Federal Reserve, which suggests that the banks such as Citicorp, C, are insolvent. Secondly, yesterday's and today's financial sector downturn over credit default swaps, CDS, suggests a type of "systemic margin call" is imminent.
The result of the coming "financial emergency" will likely be that that cash accounts such as money market accounts, money funds, checking accounts, and dollar denominated short selling accounts at brokerages cannot and will not be honored at face-value in the event of a "financial emergency".
