Loan growth in China is to ease which will lead to reduced demand across all commodities.

PIIGS consumption and purchasing power to weaken due to severe budgets/increased taxes.

Stonger dollar to hit US exports which will hit US unemployment data.

The markets should be rallying today, its not.

Stimulus driven recovery, its going to come to end shortly, then what??

What good news can possibly be around the corner.. I believe the worst may rear its ugly head.

I'm still waiting for that double bottom.

There is some bad news still to come, but I do not think it will be related to teh banks!! The bottome line is that if the banks can survive(and many have repaid TARP) then the economy can grow. In all honesty I know the trend is down, but there has not really been that much BAd news has there? Not like a 12-18 months back. Soon there will be ghood news again , and everyone will be happy. Remember , Stimulus packages are not being withdrawn any time soon.. Fior that reason I feel sitting on the sidelines is teh best play. I would certainly not be going short!

Hardly any bad news really other than Greece on the verge of going under and fears that Spain, Portugal, Ireland Italy and even the UK are heading the same way.

Greece and the UK are both running deficits of around 13%. However only one of them is actively trying to cut that.

GDP in the UK is 2680000 million and Greece is 357548 million. Their economy is struggling to come out of recession and accounting has been proven to be misleading ! Their ability to tax and grow their economy is very much hindered by being part of the Euro. Other avenues open to independent financial countries are not open to Greece.

bio if you are right and china reverses causing commoditiies to fall, the aussie dollar is the greatest short in the history of mankind.

you love that aussie mate don't you?! :-)

i'd personally be a bit wary about being short aussie here them having disappointed in not raising rates and them in a hiking mindset.

fundamentally i agree with you, yes but i think the benefits of being short are outweighed by the threats.
