John Mauldin, believes the stock market could shed 40% in the near future (SPX)...He thinks the entire premise for the existence of the European currency (XEU) is questionable, and sees it eventually moving to parity against the dollar...

About nine months ago, I suggested that US stock markets weren’t pricing in any geopolitical risks, with investors laser-focused only on domestic matters. At that time, the Dow Industrials were up about 30% from their March 2009 low.
Well, some 2,300 points later on the DJIA and up another 27%, the geopolitical hazards haven’t abated, and if anything have only mounted further.
Todd Harrison hits on it in a MarketWatch piece:
Social mood is tenuous at best and deteriorating at worst. As the great divide continues to evolve — red states vs. blue states, Main Street vs. Wall Street, haves vs. have nots — societal acrimony has evolved into social unrest in some parts of the world, and economic hardship is pointing an unfortunate needle towards geopolitical conflict.
Take heed, citizens. Take heed.

...What’s the solution? Well, just to bite the bullet. Make the cuts. Default. Be happy.
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=330&p=10148#p10148Ben Bernanke has funneled trillions of dollars worth of bailouts, guarantees and sweetheart deals to U.S. (and foreign) banks.
This money was pickpocketed from you and me, directly (through government spending) and indirectly (increasing debt costs, future inflation, etc).
Bernanke is now calling for tax increases and raising the possibility of reductions in entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security.
Tax increases means we keep less from each paycheck. Reduction in services means that money we've already paid to the government (through social security, etc.) will now instead be paid to the bankers to service the U.S. debt.
Isn't that like a guy who stole our money now trying to steal our paycheck, too?..

...They don't ring a bell at the top, but they sure do herd the sheep into the pen to be shorn, and you can bet that those who placed bets against Armageddon last time need someone - you - to sell to.
Maybe you're fast enough, maybe you're not. But just as the last time around, when the banksters knew for three months that Lehman was bankrupt before you did (and you can bet they placed their chips on the table!), you won't be told in advance before the floor disappears - but they both will be told and they'll be the ones to pull the pin.
It isn't different this time folks, and the math is never, ever wrong.

viewtopic.php?f=7&t=643&p=10499#p10499Well, it must be a funding crisis. For all those who have been talking about rate hikes, here is a little reality check: we are on the verge of a full blown funding crisis at the sovereign level and central banks have just only started withdrawing liquidity.
To be sure two factors are at play: the explosion of sovereign CDS's or in other words sovereign credit spreads, and the withdrawing of liquidity...
Sharks shunt you first.
Then they circle you and come back for the kill. Usually from underneath you.
Tigers bite your legs first, to stop you from running.
Then they bite your throat, to stop you from breathing. Then they all pile in and eat you.
Wolves knock you down first.
Then they stare at you for a while to see you're down for sure. Then they eat you.
Economic crises attack households first, then banks, after that currencies, because printing takes over, then states themselves.
That's when the depletion-wolf sinks its theeth in.
There's no coming back from this...as time will reveal.
