investmentwatchblog--2020-03-22--Where Will the US Stock Market Crash End?

As the carnage continues with stocks now ignoring anything the Fed throws at them — and the Fed has pretty well thrown everything it has used in the past and is now moving into bailout mode — where is the US stock market crash likely to to stop falling ?
So far , it ’ s been limit-down all the way .

Before posing “The Fed is Dead” later today, I wanted to rush this out because I can get it published quickly:
The above graph shows two reasonable targets that I would suggest.
My best case scenario for the US Stock Market Crash
I am completely convinced it won’t end better than this, and I think it is only likely to be a resting platform unless the Fed leaps into strategies I’ve been talking about in Patron Posts that are currently illegal.
This level is based on the zone where the bull stopped running for two years and churned sideways as a place it hung out when the Fed stopped QE. That was back when I said the market would crash because of the end of QE, and it didn’t quite do exactly but, but the bull was broken. The market stalled for two years, so not really a bull in my books — at best a bull in a coma).
With the Dow ignoring the Fed’s kitchen-sink solutions again today and ending down more than an unlucky 1300 (at 1,3338, having touched again on 2,000 down intraday), it looks like we’ll enter the market’s old hang out in the rectangular safety zone sometime this week.
When the US stock market crashes down into the safety zone, the entire Trump Rally going back to its first inkling since the day after he was elected will have been destroyed — so fundamentally “strong” was the economy that supported it all. (Be careful what you believe from the lips of politicians. I don’t care who they are or even if I voted for them, as I have been known to loudly criticize ones I voted, for, too — like George Bush II. I’ll own my foolishness, but I won’t repeat it.)
A likely worse-case scenario for the US Stock Market Crash
Maybe stocks will take a rest there and bounce around inside that two-year safety zone for awhile. Maybe. Until the continuously growing downdraft of the general economy sucks the market all the way into the belly of the Great Recession again.

It’s where I see the stock market as settling out with the one caveat that the Fed will continue doing everyone it can dream of to bubble us back up somehow.
My easily possible worst-case scenario for a market crash
First, let me say there is no true worst-case scenario short of the US stock market crashing into the pits of hell because no one knows where everything that is happening right now will end. But I’m dealing with where this could easily go based on what we already know about the coronacrisis.
All major indices are now down more than 30% from their last high, so we are already deep into bear territory. The Russell 2000 is down 40%! Forget any thought that this is not an all-out market crash! (If you are foolish enough to still be holding such a thought.) I mean, 40% declines in one month? That’s looking more like 1929 than the Great Recession! And those are just the facts.
That lower trend line is actually the ideal optimistic line we should hope to stabilize at — IF the Fed got out of the bubble-blowing business but it won’t. Downward momentum could easily carry the US Stock market crash down to a straight line across the bottoms of the last two recessions, which would put the Dow down at about 6,000 until it recovered back to the baseline trend.
I don’t care how you slice it and dice it, we ARE going back into the belly of the Great Recession as I’ve said for years we will when the next recession hits, and the next recession is now.
It won’t be just the US. It’s an everyone crash of the Everything Balloon.
A global recession is now the base case, say Morgan Stanley economists led by Chetan Ahya; they see growth falling to 0.9% this year. The Goldman Sachs team, led by Jan Hatzius, sees growth weakening to 1.25%. MarketWatch
And those guys are the optimistic ones, just like they we’re going into the Great Recession. In my next article (to be published later today), “The Fed is Dead” and the one to come out after tomorrow “The Bailout Bonanza is Back” you’ll read some mainstream economists with far more pessimistic views.
So, the levels outlined above are the highly optimistic ones. Hate to be so cheery; but, seriously, things can go lower if the virus goes longer and takes out enough of the tinder-dry dead wood we have built into our economy all along.

The decision to shut down air travel and close all nonessential businesses is now a reality in major global economies. The United States has banned all European flights as Italy enters a complete lockdown, Spain declares a state of emergency, and France closes all nonessential public places and businesses.
By now, we at least have a clearer picture of the severity of the pandemic and can discuss the economic consequences, so I believe that it is important to remind readers of a few important factors:
alls for large fiscal packages to offset the pandemic may be useless. Allen-Reynolds at Capital Economics warned that “even if governments agreed on a larger tax and spending package, the economic impact would be much smaller than it would have been in the past, particularly if the fiscal stimulus was concentrated in Germany,” because output gaps are almost inexistent. This is not a demand problem; it is a supply shock, and you don’t address supply shocks with bricks, mortar, and deficit spending. The shutdown of developed economies is now granted and will likely take us more than a couple of weeks afield. The shutdown of emerging economies is likely to start in May and to impact 2020 and 2021 estimates. Every analysis we have seen so far only factors in a 2020 recession, not a crisis, and even less a large 2021 hit to the economy, but the financial implications in an already overleveraged world add a string of credit events to an economic shutdown. The latest wave of downgrades already assumes a large-scale stimulus, rate cuts, and quantitative easing. The diminishing returns of monetary easing were already evident in 2018 and especially in 2019, with global manufacturing purchasing managers’ indexes (PMIs) in contraction and growth estimates coming down significantly throughout the year. Average downward growth revisions by country averaged 20 percent between January and December, in the middle of a massive coordinated central bank injection operation that injected up to $170 billion a month into the economy (considering the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), Bank of Japan (BOJ), European Central Bank (ECB), and Fed) and saw widespread rate cuts. The economic implications of a pandemic will not be solved with massive spending increases. Governments will implement large demand-side policies that are the wrong answer to a shutdown of the economy. Most businesses will suffer from the collapse in sales and subsequent working capital build, and none of that will be solved with deficit spending. You cannot mitigate a supply shock with demand policies, which increase debt and overcapacity in the already indebted and bloated sectors and do not help the sectors that are suffering an abrupt collapse in activity. A forced temporary shutdown must also include a shutdown of the tax collection system. Governments already finance themselves at negative rates. They must eliminate (not defer) tax payments for companies in the period of crisis to avoid a massive unemployment increase and a domino of bankruptcies and facilitate working capital lines at zero rates to allow businesses and self-employed workers to navigate a shutdown. Governments that make the mistake of maintaining the current tax structure or who just prolong the payment period for six months will see the massive negative consequences of a shutdown in the next nine months.
If, as expected, the shutdown is extended to more countries every week, the negative effects on the economy will be longer and exponential, and the mirage of a third-quarter recovery even less likely.
It is very likely that the shutdown of major developed economies will be followed by a shutdown of emerging markets, creating a supply shock as we have not seen in decades. Taking massive inflationary and demand-driven measures in a supply shock is not only a mistake, it is the recipe for stagflation and guarantees a multi-year negative impact generated by rising debt, weakening productivity, rising inflation in nonreplicable goods while deflation creeps into official headlines, and economic stagnation.

“ I don ’ t understand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ temperatures taken before they go to a hospital , but there are no precautions for us who have to deal with sick people all day long.

important. New Jersey’s top public health official says everyone, including her, will eventually contract the coronavirus.
“I’m definitely going to get it. We all are,” Judith Persichilli told NJ.com. “I’m just waiting.”
Persichilli, 71, is a member of the age demographic for which the virus is most deadly. Nevertheless, she said she believed the odds were still on her side and she would most likely have a mild form of the illness.
Persichilli has become a near-household name in the Garden State in recent weeks with regular press conferences where she reads the latest figures of coronavirus infections and deaths.
Since originating in China late last year, there have been at least 284,724 infections and 11,842 deaths from the virus worldwide. There have been 890 cases in New Jersey and 11 deaths so far as the virus rapidly spreads around the United States. Cases have now been reported in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

California will be the hardest hit State by COVID19, and will probably be the most inhumane in how they handle it

This is all speculation based on info we have available , and the real conspiracy aspect of it won ’ t come in to play until I start theorizing how California will handle their outbreak… .
I believe Cali will end up seeing the highest percentage of deaths within their state by a wide margin for 2 key reasons .

On top of that , these people will end up being low priority as far being given medical attention , and will be seen as a major risk to the rest of state ’ s population .
Just as big as their homeless population , is their illegal immigrant population .
Both the homeless and immigrants will go hungry because they will not be factored into the stimulus plan and will not receive checks to feed themselves , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This will cause unrest , and will lead to them become desperate to survive , and the cities will see a massive amount of looting and violence in the name of survival .
On top of that , since the state has no records of how just how many there are , many will die in the streets or in hiding , and sit there rotting for days before anyone finds them .
Leaders of the state and country know this , and they are going to take heavy measures to get @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who are worried about FEMA camps , these are the people who will likley end up there .
I beleive we will soon see a huge raid of these tent cities , and they will not have a choice .
If they dont have a place to take shelter in , the government will forcefully provide them with one .
The amount of people they will have to deal with will be so overwhelming that the state will chose to let them die , or in many cases , kill them for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ force trying to diffuse potential riots .
California ’ s leaders will not care , they will see this as both a solution to an already existing problem , as well as a way of preventing a larger one .
This will likely happen in all the major urban areas , homelessness exists across the country , but we will see the worst of it in California .

I believe Cali will end up seeing the highest percentage of deaths within their state by a wide margin for 2 key reasons. First, they have a dangerously massive homeless population. Almost every major city in California has huge clusters of tent cities, which were already highly unsanitary and potential breeding grounds for diseases. Once the virus starts spreading through there (and it may have already begun) it will infect them at a rate that would be catastrophic. On top of that, these people will end up being low priority as far being given medical attention, and will be seen as a major risk to the rest of state’s population. Just as big as their homeless population, is their illegal immigrant population. Both the homeless and immigrants will go hungry because they will not be factored into the stimulus plan and will not receive checks to feed themselves, many will starve, infected or not. This will cause unrest, and will lead to them become desperate to survive, and the cities will see a massive amount of looting and violence in the name of survival. On top of that, since the state has no records of how just how many there are, many will die in the streets or in hiding, and sit there rotting for days before anyone finds them. Leaders of the state and country know this, and they are going to take heavy measures to get them off the street. For the people who are worried about FEMA camps, these are the people who will likley end up there. I beleive we will soon see a huge raid of these tent cities, and they will not have a choice. If they dont have a place to take shelter in, the government will forcefully provide them with one. The amount of people they will have to deal with will be so overwhelming that the state will chose to let them die, or in many cases, kill them for resisting, or in displays of excessive force trying to diffuse potential riots.

Over 8,000,000 Mobile Phone Accounts ‘Disappeared’ During the “COVID-19” Outbreak in China — Is the C.C.P. Hiding the True Infection and Death Toll of the C-Virus?

• Mobile phones are used for everything in China : as I.D.
, as a credit / debit card ( Q-codes ) , as veritable passports and birth certificates • Due to the consolidated functionalities of it cellphones , for Chinese people to “ switch carriers ” , it is akin to a Westerner applying for a new passport or transferring all their finances to a new bank — i.e.
, they don ’ t do it often or lightly • So many users “ disappearing ” from a carrier is unprecedented , and very difficult to qualify with mere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Coronavirus shutdown ” explanations ( \if anything , for quarantined Chinese who were deprived of their yearly mass-migration for reunion with families , their phones / phone accounts would have taken on that much more importance ) * • The Chinese gov ’ t , suffice it to say , the Middle Kingdom of mendacity : lying about everything from their G.D.P .
figures — see : Western analysts forced to use pollution and energy usage to assay Chinese economic activity ; premier Li Keyquing ’ s 2007 admission that “ G.D.P .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ be trusted ” ( WikiLeaks ) • The inordinate levels of Sulphur ( S ) in the atmosphere above Whan — a possible indication of mass-cremations • The fact that even the now Sino compromised W.H.O .
found that the 2009 “ swine flu ” C.F.R .
( Case Fatality Rate ) was under-reported by China , by a factor of between 10 and 15… Yeah… So , perhaps , Italy ’ s ski jump “ curve ” is more representational of what China had ( has ? )
, and the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dire than the constantly changing , and often contradictory “ mainstream information ” that is being disseminated by , mostly , politicians who are more interested in the shekel than their people .

Democrats are trying to hold the stimulus package hostage until they get national ‘vote-by-mail’ for the election in November.
Watch:
The foremost expert on election fraud, Bev Harris (who happens to be a Democrat), says that vote-by-mail is one big way election fraud happens:
“Evolving voting methods have produced systems with significant holes in chain of custody which can call election legitimacy into question. Three voting methods which produce breaches in chain of custody are: vote-by-mail; electronic voting; and Internet voting. These methods make it difficult for the public to verify that: (a) all ballots cast were actually counted; (b) ballots counted were not altered; and (c) unauthorized votes were not added.”

investmentwatchblog--2020-03-22--OFFICIAL: WORLD ABOUT TO END AS COMMIE BACTERIA & STUPID CITIZENS FOUND GUILTY OF EVERYTHING

The first thing Coronavirus killed was Truth The two most media-reported features of Covid19 are that it is a deadly killer – and that its ramifications are destroying the stock market investments of millions .
Both of these assertions are almost universal now , and both of them are completely without foundation .
Go to the ever-informative site Wall St on Parade , and there you will find acre upon acre of facts , timings , Fed Reserve liquidity inputs and capital-loss stats proving beyond the smallest scintilla of doubt that Wall Street ’ s overleveraged , greedy banking firms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a desert of Repo Loan illiquidity .
But it ’ s yer Covid wot gets the blame , Guv : Covid the Destroyer of Worlds is so clever , so evil , so iniquitous in its quintessentially toxic darkness that it began to make people terrified of it before it even existed .
I just put that one out there for you to think about , people : Covid is a piece of work , and that ’ s why “ Nous sommes en guerre ” with it .
The New York Federal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ September , ten weeks before the first Coronavirus victim fell coughing , spluttering , sneezing but mainly falling to the pavement of the Wuhan seafood market in Wubei , a province of China which – being a mere 7,480 miles from Wall Street – uses not just different sets of linguistics , but also a writing form employing symbols .
As English is to scrabble , so Chinese is to Pictionary .
They ’ re that close .
The running situation among these top New York banks ( who are not losing any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behaving in an orderly fashion in the manner of a suicidal scorpion ) is that they are all losing vast amounts of capital , as demonstrated in the extremely complex chart below : As these figurese are displayed in words and numbers rows rather than heiroglyphic columns , I accept that most BlackDeath19 believers will struggle with it – but that ’ s OK , because I can summarise it for you .
Because it ’ s the biggest bank , JPMorgan has lost the most , which is of course why Big @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have lost ( along with three others ) two bucks in five , whereas Citigroup has lost one in two .
The total drain on capital of these MoUs is thus well over half a trillion dollars .
But because of Exponential Bailout Syndrome , this has so far cost US investors and taxpayers slightly more , as in 9 trillion dollars….but the latter up-cougher will gain 0 % benefit from that because they ’ re not important right now , or indeed ever likely to be in the future .
Although so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any way with the missing nine trillion banknotes , it is taking the rap for the stock market carnage that then followed .
Below is an extract from my trawl of headline descriptors across 18 mainstream and specialist media online or on paper , plus 7 TV networks : ‘ ….worst day last Monday since fears over the COVID-19 outbreak began rattling investors….virus sparks Wall Street collapse….the great Coronavirus Crash of 2020….stock markets in Covid19 trauma….global recession fears triggered by failure to contain Covid-19 spread….Dow drops 12 % amid Covid19 concerns….Markets drop 3,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that just one little tribe of nasty yellow Commie bacterial bastards did all that .

The first thing Coronavirus killed was Truth
The two most media-reported features of Covid19 are that it is a deadly killer – and that its ramifications are destroying the stock market investments of millions. Both of these assertions are almost universal now, and both of them are completely without foundation.
Go to the ever-informative site Wall St on Parade, and there you will find acre upon acre of facts, timings, Fed Reserve liquidity inputs and capital-loss stats proving beyond the smallest scintilla of doubt that Wall Street’s overleveraged, greedy banking firms had already landed the entire bourse in a desert of Repo Loan illiquidity.
But it’s yer Covid wot gets the blame, Guv: Covid the Destroyer of Worlds is so clever, so evil, so iniquitous in its quintessentially toxic darkness that it began to make people terrified of it before it even existed.
I just put that one out there for you to think about, people: Covid is a piece of work, and that’s why “Nous sommes en guerre” with it.
The New York Federal Reserve Bank began its 2008 remake last September, ten weeks before the first Coronavirus victim fell coughing, spluttering, sneezing but mainly falling to the pavement of the Wuhan seafood market in Wubei, a province of China which – being a mere 7,480 miles from Wall Street – uses not just different sets of linguistics, but also a writing form employing symbols. As English is to scrabble, so Chinese is to Pictionary. They’re that close.
The running situation among these top New York banks (who are not losing any capital at all because the markets are behaving in an orderly fashion in the manner of a suicidal scorpion) is that they are all losing vast amounts of capital, as demonstrated in the extremely complex chart below:
As these figurese are displayed in words and numbers rows rather than heiroglyphic columns, I accept that most BlackDeath19 believers will struggle with it – but that’s OK, because I can summarise it for you.
Because it’s the biggest bank, JPMorgan has lost the most, which is of course why Big is Good in all things. They have lost (along with three others) two bucks in five, whereas Citigroup has lost one in two. The total drain on capital of these MoUs is thus well over half a trillion dollars. But because of Exponential Bailout Syndrome, this has so far cost US investors and taxpayers slightly more, as in 9 trillion dollars….but the latter up-cougher will gain 0% benefit from that because they’re not important right now, or indeed ever likely to be in the future.
Although so far Covid19 cannot be linked in any way with the missing nine trillion banknotes, it is taking the rap for the stock market carnage that then followed. Below is an extract from my trawl of headline descriptors across 18 mainstream and specialist media online or on paper, plus 7 TV networks:
‘….worst day last Monday since fears over the COVID-19 outbreak began rattling investors….virus sparks Wall Street collapse….the great Coronavirus Crash of 2020….stock markets in Covid19 trauma….global recession fears triggered by failure to contain Covid-19 spread….Dow drops 12% amid Covid19 concerns….Markets drop 3,000 points in Coronavirus collapse….’
To think that just one little tribe of nasty yellow Commie bacterial bastards did all that.
Mind you, if you pushed me hard on this culpability thing, I’d say that the fear-spin capabilities of The Mighty Covids are, you know, limited. I’d certainly never employ one (let’s face it, your staff would get ill) because they don’t know how to use a cellphone, they can’t write – and it’s a trial trying to keep tabs on the buggers, they being microscopic and all. I’m just a deplorable bacterialist.
But you see the thing is, I have a contrarian theory about Covid19 and its role in stock market collapse. I think other agents have been in play.
On balance, I’d say the media are at the very least implicated. So too are the blogsite apocalypse nutjobs, and pretty much every government information source in the West. And call me wacky, but I have a hunch that Macronian and Borisonian overreaction just might have been contributory.
Now as it happens, market traders devour all that kind of stuff. They don’t panic because a bacterium crawls up their nose and eats the brain: they panic when some moron on the New York Times tells them they’re gonna die.
The general drift of my opening address today is, perhaps, best summed up by a senior British medic who lives in China, and has come back to the UK in order to be quarantined. This is what he wrote to me last Friday:

investmentwatchblog--2020-03-22--Sanity in the Middle of Chaos – Why Italy Has More Deaths than China

COMMENT : Marty , I am a physician in Ohio .
Long time blog reader and pro subscriber since WEC in Orlando 2019 .
I am amazed at the groupthink that has “ infected ” medicine just like it has destroyed social science , climate change discussions , politics , etc .
It is very destructive .
I want to share with your readers some real science around Italy and infectious disease .
Thank you for all you do .
You have given me peace of mind and protected my family ’ s nest egg .
PL REPLY : We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and reading the blog .
I have been getting a lot of emails questioning the level of hysteria that has been created among the medical profession .
My personal opinion is this has been created by the herd mentality and is the same as Stanley Milgram ’ s study in his Obiendence to Authority .
I highly recommend this book if you now have nowhere to go .
We instinctively have the same herd instincts .
One zebra thinks it sees a lion and starts to run .
The entire herd begins to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There may have been a threat , and then again there may have been nothing .
Thank you for your contribution .
The study showed that 68,000 Italians die from the flu each season and it attacks the excessive elderly , of which Italy has an abundance .
For those who are unaware , the further south you go in Italy and it is very common to see people in their mid 90s+ .
Italy has the oldest population in Europe , with about 23 % of residents 65 or older , according @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country is 47.3 , compared with 38.3 in the United States , the Times reported .
Many of Italy ’ s deaths have been among people in their 80s , and 90s , a population known to be more susceptible to severe complications from COVID-19 and the general annual influenza .
This is why the death toll in Italy exceeded that of China .
They have one of the oldest populations in the world .

MEHPA stands for Model State Emergency Health Powers Act. It is a draft of model legislation to increase state powers to respond to bio-terrorism or other outbreaks of disease that the Centers for Disease Control and others want the states to pass into law. Although such legislation is needed, the current draft of the Model Act, unfortunately, is written in a way that doesn’t adequately protect citizens against the misuse of the tremendous powers that it would grant in an emergency.
