We must equally prepare for bullish spikes, possibly of the gargantuan variety. I think things are so serious that panic must be reverberating through the halls of the PTB. I see economic Shock and Awe risk rising. Possibilities. 1. Formation of a global bad bank. 2. IMF and world bank put their balance sheets in play, essentially printing money via the mechanism of the SDR (special drawing rights). 3. BOJ warpath on Yen with help from IMF, World Bank, etc. 4. If the Yen crashes the Nikkei will make an intergallatically heroic move higher of Stephen Hawkins proportions. 5. BOJ announces it is going to buy every asset in the world with Yen until world gets message: they buy stocks on every exchange, oil, gold, wheat, and so on. I think of it this way: this is a crisis of mammoth proportions and it's only going to get worse. If I am writing the script, we can't go into a true black hole until there is a final heroic effort that is nuclear in scope. I would be very careful now of being short any asset on the planet. G
