The meltdown in financial markets is a disaster that has unfolded with unprecedented speed and severity.

The S&P 500 Index tumbled more than 46% in just over a year — the worst bear market since the Great Depression.^[i]

The Federal Reserve BLEW-UP its balance sheet with a MASSIVE increase in reserve bank credit extended to FAILING banks and brokers — now totaling more than $2 TRILLION DOLLARS!

Even worse, U.S. taxpayers are likely on the hook for nearly $8 TRILLION in total spending and “commitments” by the government in a desperate attempt to avoid total collapse of the financial system!^[ii]

Now, the U.S. economy faces a severe recession — perhaps one of the worst contractions this century... as Washington fiddles, the real economy burns:

Consumer confidence stumbles to an all-time record low,^[iii] while leading economic indicators are tumbling at the most rapid rate in 60-years,^[iv] pointing to even more pain ahead...

Home prices plunging at the fastest pace on record^[v] — down more than 23% from the peak and STILL falling. This signals a deepening housing recession in 2009!^[vi]

Americans are snapping-shut their wallets, with spending down the most in 28 years. Retail sales down four months straight — a dismal streak seen only three other times in the past 50 years!^[viii]

At Weiss Capital Management, real-time indicators we watch closely signal a worsening economy ahead... and stocks could be FAR from a BOTTOM.
