Claude : One of the consistent factors in a stock market crash is a sudden reduction in Money Supply . What used to be covered in M2 data from the Fed .

150 $ oil works like a giant vacuum on all the excess funds in our system .

Situation is complex but this is an important factor and one which alerted so many in 87 .

Yes, Claude it was more the future I was referring to with Rubin and the title of his book:

"Why Your World is About to Get a Whole Lot Smaller: Oil and the End of Globalization"

As in so much we discuss time will tell, but the whole Wal Mart
cheap goods is based on cheap shipping via cheap oil, same goes for the grocery store.

To me it looks like the high oil prices brought the weakness in the heavily over leveraged system to the surface.
The straw that broke the camel's back.
