Dear reader, If you haven't yet seen this stark warning from my colleague Dan Denning, I urge you to take a look right now. According to Dan the recent market fall is just a prelude to something much more sinister playing out in the global economy. The knock-on effect could have serious implications for any wealth you have invested here in Australia. Right now the global financial system is faltering. You're watching it play out on the evening news. Any sense of security investors felt after the trillions of dollars of private debts were transferred to public sector balance sheets in 2009 is now shattered. In Dan's view, it's only a matter of time before the whole system implodes. Even if you don't agree with his conclusions, this is something you ought to read. "Right now millions of Aussie investors don't understand the severity of what's coming," says Dan. "Many believe we are immune to the woes of the West, largely thanks to our booming resource sector. "But they are in for a big shock." How big? Find out right here. Best regards, Simon Munton Assistant Publisher Port Phillip Publishing
Commentary: Europe’s leaders have done nothing to prepare for the end
LONDON (MarketWatch) — The imminent Greek default is now the only issue that matters to the financial markets. The country is running out of money to pay its bills. It can no longer borrow on the markets. It has missed the deficit-reduction targets in the bailout package, and unless the euro area’s political leaders can come up with a fresh rescue package it will soon have no choice but to renege on it debts.
The only force that can avert catastrophe is that strange double-headed beast known to bond traders as Markozy — the French President Nicolas Sarkozy and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Neither shows any signs of getting to grips with the scale of the challenge they face, nor have they done so at any point since this drama started 18 months ago. Anyone staying in the markets now is taking a massive gamble that they suddenly get their act together over the next few weeks. They are almost certainly going to be disappointed.
will the trigger get pulled?
