  • $2 for Bear Stearns (BSC) which was $143 on Jul 2nd, 2007

    Posted by Frugal on March 17th, 2008

    Well, actually it’s probably going to be less than $2, since JPM will probably fall on Monday.

    BSC is the 5th largest brokerage company in America, brought down by the housing bubble created by Greenspan & company. These are the financial innovations on Wallstreet, creating bonus and money out of toxic loans.

    Gold and silver both broke new highs. Market on Monday is most likely going to be terrible. I think we may be heading towards another 20% hair cut in the overall stock market.

    Your and my life are going to be seriously affected by the current credit crunch no matter what, whether it’s heightened inflation or decreased economic opportunities (layoff). The entire credit pyramid when it crumbles is just not a pretty sight. It’s called deflation. Or more correctly, it’s called asset deflation.

    What I expect going forward in the coming decade is
    asset deflation and
    commodity inflation.

    This is the most lethal combination to wealth destruction. From 1980 to 2000, it was the best combination for wealth generation:
    asset inflation and
    commodity deflation

    Those lucky baby boomers who rode the entire up wave in stock markets were fortunate to reach multi-millionaire status. But going forward, I believe few people will be able to preserve their existing purchasing power. Collectively as a whole, the sum of purchasing power for all people has to be reduced thru the process of asset deflation and commodity inflation.

    Better preserve your buying power before it’s too late. By the way, I think there is at most another 10% upside in gold. There should be a correction. If you jump in, don’t forget to jump out.

      So, is it smart to buy Bear Stearns at 3.50?

      Great post!

      Asset deflation is definately coming and this will shock a great many people who have alot of money invested in the markets.

      As you say, this will have tremendous impact on all of us.
