Drip By Drip We’re Being Chinese Water-Tortured By U.S. Deflation Data

The economy is not ina good position. Little to zero growth is what I expect for the next 6 months. With the dollar down, housing still a crunch leading to less shopping htis xmas season.

Next year is a election year, so the uncertainty will keep the markets slow. After the election is the best hope I think, for better returns from equities.

This global economic crisis is largely due to those toxic investments the world's investors got themselves in. Those banks that are involved should not just writedown those huge losses but get their government's help to arrest and convict those greedy traders,financial advisers and bankers. To claim back their losses.
One way is get their governments are to get their tax departments to get those people identified to declare their assets.
G20 governments should make a point not to bail out their troubled banks. They should not take majority stakes in those troubled banks but allowed to collapsed. Nationalising of banks should only be done on a short term basis and quickly return them to private hands.Allow profittable banks to continue their business with full commercial freedom.
Government agencies like Central banks must be the bankers lenders of the last resort and responsible for fiscal and monetary polices. FSAs must be efficient and competent regulators and not interfer with the running of banks' businesses and banks' lending and motivations policies..
