I admit that I don't pay a lot of attention to mainstream news, but ... I'm not aware of the MSM making any effort to tell John Q. Public that bad stuff is happening.

I mean, there are some scuffles in Greece, which generate a few interesting pictures.
And there are some scuffles in Thailand, which generate a few intersting pictures.
And the US Stock Market goes up and down like it always does.

I think for most people, the idea that something big is going on is just not on their radar screen.

If the May 6th “panic low” is violated on strong volume, we’re likely to go lower still....

Everyone should read and re-read Kindleberger’s classic about manias and panics. They all follow similar patterns. This one is different from the 30’s only in that central banks have labored mightily and in co-ordination to puff up the debt bubble to keep it from deflating.

But this can go on for only so long... because as the bank failures keep going on, it becomes obvious that it didn’t work.
