well so far he has at least one thing right. Economic crisis in UK & Europe, i thought he had said that it would 'begin' on oct 7th with an econmic crisis in UK and Europe? Though in all fairness i think we could all see that one coming.

For most people in the world it's already tomorrow

well there is still a pretty big part of the world where it is still today, the 7th. Not that I believe all of what is being said, but it is just a little early. Look at what the stock market is doing right now, DOW is down 450 points, and the S&P is getting close to hitting 1000.

Actually it has been awhile since I have bought anything for myself, or my kids for that matter. We have been learning to live with less in the past couple of years. However I dont make other people feel guilty for treating themselves every once in a while and buying something nice. It is however part of western life, even though it appears to be coming to an end.

All of you who are saying, look at the economy in the EU need a short sharp poke in the eye! The runaway train which is the European economy has been heading towards a brickwall at full steam for over a month now. A blind beggar could see it coming. I'm afraid this thread was just another in a long line of nonsensical threads forecasting gloom and doom, mass UFO sightings, nuclear war,etc. So it goes on. It's sad. . .

Well if there IS a global collapse you may be looking to those Indian farmers to help YOU by feeding you rice...

People need to face the facts. This guy is a hoaxer. He was wrong. Nothing huge happend today...

They can keep their rice, I have my own. I dont need anyone to feed me I can grow my own food and feed myself and my family.

Like I said this morning, and yesterday.. and a week ago.. and so on... people will continue to make nebulous or far-reaching (i.e. years from now) predictions, with no pinpoint facts, names, or specifics, yet people will believe them no matter what. Most don't know this guy from Adam, and yet they will cling to his every word as if it's the gospel.

It's a given that something significant will happen every day. Planet Earth is a really big place. It's not hard to make these kinds of 'predicitions.' Here.. I'll give one: "Next week, a significant military event will occur, that will begin a chain effect that will domino over the following weeks, that will conclude with an Earth-changing event." Hey.. I bet I'm right, to. I can take any military event and claim it's the one I predicted. Just like this guy can take anything that happened today, and say "See, I was right!"

Nothing exploded, nothing earth-shaking occured, nothing happend folks. Stop buying into the fear mongering. You know why the stocks are falling like bricks? Fear. It's amazing what fear can do. It can cripple the economy, and it can cripple a population. Don't be part of that game. Be part of a progessive solution and a positive outlook, not stuck in a state of perpetual gloom and doom — a woe betide us sort of mentality.

Probably, but for Americans at least a major event is still happening tonight. Even if the Presidential debate amounts to nothing, I believe today is the day that normal level-headed Americans have lost faith that the government intervention in the markets is going to work. Therefore you may expect more economic collapse this week. Perhaps the "release" is that the uncertainty is gone.
