A pic says more than 1000 words!!!

Today is the anniversary of Dow peak (14k odd)..Happy Anniversary Wall Street!!!

In todays post I put some charts, which in a way indicate the gravity of the situation!!


VIX: the "fear IOndex" as it is called, captures the investor sentiment.. The higher it is, the higher is the "fear factor" of the investor. It has reached all time peak today..



Baltic Dry Index:
the index indirectly measures global supply and demand for the commodities shipped aboard dry bulk carriers, such as cement, coal, iron ore, and grain. It indicates the "globalisation" factor and the "global economy" growth..


TED spread: I explained the term in one of my previous posts.. Its the spread between the 3 month LIBOR and the 3 month Tbill.. The wider the spread, the bad it is for the economy..





and finally the index itself.
