Look for oil to collapse further, dollar will continue to strengthen Gold will also continue to fall.

It looked like Europe escaped the worst of the credit crisis but obviously not, in ways its even worse than in the United States. The entire EU's economy is even bigger than the US too, remember..
Iceland looks on the edge of collapse, Ireland is screwed, banks are falling like dominoes here in Britain it's now hitting the continent. Also EU leaders have ruled out the possibility of a US style bailout package. I don't think anything can stop this mess now, the only question is how far will it go down...could be pretty damn low is my intuition.
Does anyone else have a really bad feeling about next week?

Bloomberg
A consortium of European banks was going to bailout this company but now they are running for the hills.
This company blowing up would be on par with Lehman blowing up and would set off further explosions in the CDS market. If the German gov. comes in and takes over it would set off those CDS.
European Banks by the way are in even worse shape than US banks, they used even more leverage. Also they are multinational and they are bigger than the Governments of Europe.

When there is uncertainty and chaos, gold does well. I wouldn't count on the dollar continuing to benefit from chaos. That play may be overdone.
