It's probably best if we can't open it. I'd rather read Chicken Little.

Let the fear-mongering commence....

When things are going shittier and shittier in Iraq (is it 69 dead US

servicemen/women so far this month?) Of course no amount of money can

be put on a life. However, there is that little matter of how much this

fiasco is costing.

Here is a website with a running total of what the war is costing.

So, in a futile effort to take peoples minds of those realities just

remind the sheep about impending pandemic flu.

People are getting sick of the regular flu hype- They need to ramp up

the fear a bit.

ph Stiglitz (Columbia economist) put the number at about $2 trillion. He resigned from the world bank earlier in the year because they were putting a clamp on what he could say. Much of the cost of the Iraw war is being put through in offline items so they're not in the budget.

At some point inflation will start kicking in big time- figure early 2007 and housing is still tanking.

Think late 1970's economy, will a little more umph. Maybe worse.

The federal reserve hamsters continue (think that metal wheel in a hamster cage) to drive the economy with liquidity, although credit is tightening. Estimates are that about 20% of all subprime mortgages set in 2005-2006 will go into default.

Banks with high mortgage derivatives exposure: Chase, Citibank, Bank of America.

Estimated value of derivatives contracts worldwide put at between $500 trillion and $400 quadrillion.

They bundle subprime mortgages with a BBB- rating into mortgage backed securities and miraculously create a security with AAA rating (now how did they do that?).

A lot of analysts are antsy for good reason. 1998 derivatives crash (Long Term Capital Management) was a crash of about $6 billion but put tremendous stress on capital markets. Russia (ruble) and Korea (won) tanked. The numbers are much, much bigger this time.

Be careful out there.
