Iceland riots are a sign of things to come

Icelanders all but stormed their Parliament last night. It was the first session of the chamber after what might appear to be an unusually long Christmas break.

Ordinary islanders were determined to vent their fury at the way that the political class had allowed the country to slip towards bankruptcy. The building was splattered with paint and yoghurt, the crowd yelled and banged pans, fired rockets at the windows and lit a bonfire in front of the main door. Riot police moved in.

Now in the grand sweep of the current crisis, a riot on a piece of volcanic rock in the north Atlantic may not seem to add up to much. But it is a sign of things to come: a new age of rebellion.

Similar riots have happened in Iceland, Bulgaria, Latvia.

Governments have so far managed to deflect attention from their role in the crash, their slipshod monitoring, by declaring themselves to be indispensible to the solution. This may save the skins of politicians in wealthier countries who can credibly and expensively try to prop up banks and sickly industries. But it does not work in countries that are heavily indebted, with bloated and exposed financial sectors. There, the irate crowds are already beginning to demand: why hasn’t a single politician resigned? What has happened to ministerial responsibility? Who will investigate government failure?
After a bull market is over there is always a culprit hunt. A Short History of Financial Euphoria describes the aftermath of financial euphoria best. One of the best books on crashes.

Britain on verge of bankruptcy

The big story for today is  the collapse of sterling......


They don't know what they're doing, do they? With every step taken by the Government as it tries frantically to prop up the British banking system, this central truth becomes ever more obvious.

Yesterday marked a new low for all involved, even by the standards of this crisis. Britons woke to news of the enormity of the fresh horrors in store. Despite all the sophistry and outdated boom-era terminology from experts, I think a far greater number of people than is imagined grasp at root what is happening here.

The country stands on the precipice. We are at risk of utter humiliation, of London becoming a Reykjavik on Thames and Britain going under. Thanks to the arrogance, hubristic strutting and serial incompetence of the Government and a group of bankers, the possibility of national bankruptcy is not unrealistic.

Headlines in British papers:

Pound slumps to seven-year low against dollar

Brown takes one last roll of the dice

Sterling slumps to eight-year low

Latest:Sterling dives on Government debt concerns

Pullbacks

Six days of selling in the market has driven many stocks down. However some stocks have withstood the selling better and have had orderly pullbacks. They might bounce back if this reversal lasts for couple of days.
Ideal place to look for pullbacks is in stocks which have gone up 20% plus in a month. You need to use a little elbow grease to narrow this down to handful. Or use other criteria like six month relative strength or neearness to 52 week high or one month high to narrow them.

Stocks above 5, up 20% plus in a month and having 5 day or more pullback.
