I hold Gerald Celente in high regard and have become a fan of his predictions and his true, honest opinion on current events and future trends. Recently he spoke to Russia Today on what to expect in the markets going forward. They touch on the recent wave of surprise earnings and how it revolves around production cuts and staff reduction. This is not the formula for GDP growth even though large corporations will continue to make money by keeping prices high and reducing the workforce. Even though I am bearish on the North American stock markets for the near future I am a bit shocked by the October performance of the major indexes. Historically the month of October is generally a down month compared to the rest of the year. I encourage you to watch this 5 minute video which uncovers news outside of mainstream media.
