    Phinance's phavorite political prisoner, Martin Armstrong, cautions that "the EU is in dire position", on the precipice of shattering.

The current choice is DEFAULT or HIGHER TAXES & CIVIL UNREST ... Someone has to step forward to save us or we may be doomed. It's time to wake up for this is the future of our children and their children at stake. "

  • Europe's Commercial Real Estate Timebomb?

    Europe faces a commercial property debt timebomb with almost €1 trillion (£896bn) outstanding from the sector and a quarter of that potentially distressed. The UK accounts for 34% of the €970bn total, with Germany second with 24%. Not to worry, global pension funds are busy snapping up properties but do they really know how long it will be before this crisis blows over? And what if it gets a lot worse before it gets better? Are pensions prepared to deal with those losses?

Excellent site to get the truth!  Data straight from FDIC. Fresh update coming in a couple weeks.  Look at the delinquencies piling up.

This chart clearly shows the bubble 'n bust of commercial/industrial bank loans in the greatest credit crunch in history.

Shorter time frame chart to show the mega decline in bank lending that doesn't show signs of any retracement yet. Of course, you just can't see these bubbles forming.....

Latest weekly FED data shows Commercial and Industrial Loans from large commercial banks still declining. The media will say the rate of change in decline is slowing which is true.

The latest FED data posted today from 03/03/2010 shows total loans still declining with a slight moderation of the rate of decline. Much repair is needed to turn things around to create a new base to thaw the credit crunch.
