September 2015: We Officially Enter The Danger Zone

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Is September 2015 going to be one of the most important months in modern American history?  When I issued my first ever “red alert” for the last six months of 2015 back in June, I was particularly concerned with the months of September through December, and not just for economic reasons.  All of the intel that I have received is absolutely screaming that big trouble is ahead.  So enjoy these last few days of relative peace and quiet.  I mean that sincerely.  In fact, that is exactly what I have been doing – over the past week I have not posted many articles because I was spending time with family, friends and preparing for the national call to prayer on September 18th and 19th.   But now as we enter the chaotic month of September 2015 I have a feeling that there is going to be plenty for me to write about.

At this time last month, I declared that we were entering “the pivotal month of August 2015“, and that is exactly what it turned out to be.  August was the worst month overall for stocks in three years, and it was the worst month of August for U.S. financial markets in 17 years.

Throughout history, there have only been 11 times when the S&P 500 has declined by more than five percent during the month of August.  When that has happened, the stock market has almost always fallen in September as well

September is the only month in which the S&P 500 fell more frequently than it rose. What’s more, in the 11 times that the S&P 500 fell by more than 5 percent in August, it declined in 80 percent of the subsequent Septembers, and fell an average of nearly 4 percent.

Last week, there was a rally after the initial crash.  I warned that this would happen in advance, and we have seen a similar pattern play out during almost every market collapse throughout history.  The following comes from John Hussman

As I noted early this year (see A Better Lesson than “This Time Is Different”), market crashes “have tended to unfold after the market has already lost 10-14% and the recovery from that low fails.” Prior pre-crash bounces have generally been in the 6-7% range, which is what we observed last week, so I certainly don’t see that bounce as having removed any of our concerns. We remain extremely alert to the prospect for much more extended market losses.

So how far could stocks eventually fall?

Hussman is projecting that we could ultimately see the market decline by more than 50 percent

We fully expect a 40-55% market loss over the completion of the present market cycle. Such a loss would only bring valuations to levels that have been historically run-of-the-mill.

One thing that could accelerate stock market losses this time around is the fact that people have been borrowing lots and lots of money to buy stocks.  That works when the stock market just keeps going up, but once the market turns the margin calls can lead to panic selling on a massive scale.  The following comes from a recent piece by Wolf Richter in which he describes some of the chaos that we have already been witnessing…

Energy stocks and bonds crashed, even those of some large companies like Chesapeake. Some have reached zero. All kinds of other stocks and bonds have gotten eviscerated over the past few months, even tech darlings like Twitter or biotech giant Biogen. Portfolios with a focus on the wrong momentum stocks took a very serious hit.

 

And margin calls went out. The Journal:

 

Some lenders, including Bank of America Corp., are issuing margin calls to clients after the global market drubbing of the past week, forcing investors to choose between either putting up more money or selling some of the securities underlying the loans.

 

Other banks too sent out margin calls, including U.S. Trust, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo, according to the Journal. With margin calls mucking up the scenario, spooked investors are trying to lower their leverage before they’re forced to, and the boom in securities-based lending appears to be over. And the wealth units of the banks that gorged on these loans are likely to see their profits dented.

 

If that continues, a much crummier thing happens: margin balances reverse. And the last two times they did after a majestic record-breaking spike, the stock market crashed.

For some more technical reasons why another wave to the downside is coming, see an excellent article entitled “RED ALERT for 2nd CRASH DOWNWAVE…” by Clive P. Maund that you can find right here.

In addition to the chaos in the financial world, we are also witnessing a convergence of events during the month of September that is pretty much unprecedented.  I know that I have never seen anything quite like it in my lifetime.

Recently, I put together a list of 33 events that we know will happen next month, and you can find that list right here.  Instead of repeating the entire article, I just want to highlight a few items from the list…

September 13 – The last day of the Shemitah year.  During the last two Shemitah cycles, we witnessed record-breaking stock market crashes on the very last day of the Shemitah year (Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar).  For example, if you go back to September 17th, 2001 (which was Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), we witnessed the greatest one day stock market crash in all of U.S. history up until that time.  The Dow plunged 684 points, and it was a record that held for exactly seven years until the end of the next Shemitah cycle.  On September 29th, 2008 (which was also Elul 29 on the Biblical calendar), the Dow plummeted 777 points, which still today remains the greatest one day stock market crash of all time in the United States.  Now we are in another Shemitah year.  It began in the fall of 2014, and it ends on September 13th, 2015.

September 15 – The 70th session of the UN General Assembly begins on this date.  It has been widely reported that France plans to introduce a resolution which will give formal UN Security Council recognition to a Palestinian state shortly after the new session begins.  Up until now, the U.S. has always been the one blocking such a resolution, but Barack Obama has already indicated that things may be different this time around.  It would be extremely difficult to overstate the significance of this.

September 25 to September 27 – The United Nations launches a brand new “universal agenda” for humanity known as “the 2030 Agenda“.

September 28 – This is the date for the last of the four blood moons that fall on Biblical festival dates during 2014 and 2015.  This blood moon will be a “supermoon” and it will be clearly visible from the city of Jerusalem.

If you don’t know what a “supermoon” is, the following is a pretty good summary of what we should expect to see

On the night of 27 to 28 September, the Moon is closest to us at 2.46am, only an hour before it’s full. As a result, this supermoon will appear 14 percent bigger in the sky than the Moon at its most distant and smallest, and it should be 30 percent brighter. The Moon will certainly look unusually big and brilliant around 2am. But at 2.07am you’ll see a small chunk being nibbled out of its brilliant disc by the Earth’s shadow. Sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness, the Moon is totally eclipsed by 3.11am. It remains completely in the shadow of the Earth until 4.23am, when the full Moon gradually begins to emerge.

There has been lots and lots of speculation about other events that could take place during the month of September, but as of right now I cannot prove that any of them will actually happen.

But that doesn’t mean that I’m not watching.

If it sounds ominous to you when I say that we are “entering the danger zone” during the month of September, that is good, because that is precisely the tone that I am attempting to convey.

When things start completely falling apart in this nation, millions upon millions of Americans will complain that nobody warned them in advance about what was coming.

Well, I am warning you right now.

Get ready.

Of note: for two consecutive market crashes to occur on two consecutive Schmitas the odds are about 1:6.5 million. For three consecutive crashes to occur on three consecutive Schmitas, the odds are about 1:16.7 billion.

It already reeeks of conspiracy. If it happens again, it is a confirmation.

Not really, no. They are in power because of nepotism and their willingness to compromise their values (if they had any to start with) to gain political capital.

Just like a witch doctor doesn't heal people with his silly dances (even if he believes that they do heal), but rather heals with his knowledge of the properties of healing plants. At best it's a method of forcing a commitment to policy, like having a random number generator and when it his 419 you implement an unpleasant policy that needed to be implemented but you didn't have the guts to do it.

If the article was saying "Earthquake because Shemitah year" or "Asteroid strike because Shemitah year" then I would call bullshit, but economic events are influenced by people - they are human-generated events.

Therefore predicting certain human behaviours due to religious dates/appearance of the moon might actually show a correlation.

The end of the world would be a small price to pay to see a live chicken fly out of your anus.

Even though normal chickens don't fly.

I'm assuming that an end times anal exiting chicken is not going to be any run of the mill example of the poultry family.

I also imagine that watching the chicken get stuffed in there would be of some interest as well.

One of the biggest stories about the ME in a long time was posted yesterday on ZH.  Russia was moving into Syria.  Read that threads comments closely.

Today RT has reported this on their website:

"No Russian jets were deployed to Syria in order to launch attacks against Islamic State militants (IS, formerly ISIS, ISIL) and Syrian rebels, a military source told RT, dismissing reports in Israeli media."

SO:  No Putin commitment to Syria, no jets, no troops, no nothing.  But Putin did host the leaders of the insurgents in Russia as his honored guests a few weeks ago to work on an agreement for post Assad Syria.

Gallstones ended my drinking and fast food days. For 10 years I have had crushing chest and back pain, only to be told by know-it-all doctors it was definitely not my heart.  They called it "Chest Wall Pain" and said nothing could be done about it.  Three months ago, I told a nurse about it and she said "Sounds like it could be gallstones".  MRI confirmed it.  Wished I had known my nurse friend 10 years ago... Gave up the booze and fast food. Not a single attack since.

I must have that same allergy, except I break out in spots all over...

Tampa, Orlando, Miami...

Figured out my allergy was caused by 1 ounce of alcohol which led to 128 ounces of craving.

Avoid that 1 ounce and the 128 ounces stay put right in the bottle where they belong.

Coming up on 33 years of remission to a deadly disease that affects mind, body and spirit.

Congratulations!

Its important to know and acknowledge ones weaknesses, as we all have them. We are all flawed, but our lives are defined by these flaws, either wallowing in them to our own loss and defeat, or triumphing over them and everything else that we must confront. We ourselves are our greatest challenge. I'm sick of people celebrating who they are (and I'm not talking of the good things here) rather than trying to be something more. That attitude would have us still in the primordial ooze.

To be technically correct, the shemitah began on 9/25/2014 and ends on 9/13/2015.

So the climax is coming up somewhere around the end date.

No one knows the specifics...

If anyone claims to know anything exactly, run, they're full of Shiite.

The fact that the UN begins a meeting the day following the end of the Shemitah, I would be looking for calamitous happenings on that side of the weekend and not the Friday before, but that's just me.

National call to prayer?

With all due respect what good will that do?

The enemy prays every day, to the same God apparently.

When Jesus was around he taught to pray in your own closet in secret, something the holy rollers like to ignore as in National Call to prayer.

It is like giving a turkey dinner to the homeless at Thanksgiving when the stars show up to show the world how 'good' they be, but that is only one day and most humans have to eat all year.  :)

You shut up!  Leave those Hollywood people alone!  They can water their lawns and fill their inside and outside pools and drain their fountains to fill them again and wash their 22 cars and have fucking water slides all they want because they are adored and you are not!  It's not their fault that you are not beautiful and untalented as a Kardooshian.  If you had a great idea like the 7th Spiderman movie in 3 years maybe you'd be beautiful too.  And they aren't hypocrites at all because they eat sharkfin soup while chairing PETA; nor are they hyporcites for flying around the world to their billionaire oligarich bankster politician friend's yachts in private jets that you are just jealous about; nor are they hypocrites for being vain and insecure while telling people "just be yourself" (when they really mean "you are just ugly and untalented"); nor are they hypocrites for owning those 22 cars in 3 countries and driving humvees and suburbans while having security teams in tow - because they are important and you're not - while they talk about climate change.

 

What is wrong with you?  Have some respect for your superiors.  And while your at it do god's work and join Blankfein in his condemnation of the wrongful imprisonment of Corzine!

I thought it was already here. Or are you suggesting they just finally fess up to it.

Our choices are limited between bad and worse and then they hold an election.

When I hear about a national call to prayer for the 18th and 19th of September, that's when I relaise what the problem is.

As far as I am concerned prayer should be a national event on a daily basis in every home, school and household and in particular in every heart.

The whole of humanity has been financialized to the point of destruction and the planet is not far behind.

Prayer is the ultimate art of the human existence and our failure to connect with God in our lives will surely damn us.

The bottom line is that God will not need to punish us because we are already punishing ourselves quite effectively.
