I'll give you an example of what it is:
You have a house worth 600,000, and you've borrowed 300,000 from the bank to buy it. One day the bank tells you that your house is worth 1 000 000, you now have 400 000 to spend. What do you do? take a holiday trip around the world, buy a new car etc. The price of housing drops... your house is now once again worth 600 000... you are also now in debt. the original 300 000+ the 400 000. What can you do? you give the bank your house. and try to work off that 100 000 debt left over.
Get this problem then multiply by the majority of the population... the banks now hold properties that people don't want to buy and are therefore worthless... and if all the bank holds are these worthless houses, then they'll go bankrupt, also with the general panic of banks collapsing, people will go crazy and rush to withdraw money from the bank (like the scene in Mary Poppins) ergo... you have a big, big problem... What can you do? Hope to God your government has a good plan |

how should we react?
Unless you have a control on your country's finance you dont need to react.Everyone is hoping that things would change.Buying a property now would depend on which part of the planet you are currently residing.
do we have to be afraid of this financial instability?
I am afraid as it affects my job stability. |

I know how to solve it - without using Tax Payers money.
Get all those FAT CATS and IDLE SODS in the City to hand back their bonuses for last year. Total = £17 BILLIONS.
Confiscate their HUGE Pensiopn Pots. Total = £133 BILLIONS.
Give all this money to the Treasury - they can then put the Banks on a sound footing.
Pay the Fat Cats, the MINIMUM wage - NO bonuses - NO Pensions (only the normal Old Age Pension).
I have posted this on the No. 10 Website - but it will never happen.
There are too many noses in the trough.
The above measures would bring in £150 Billions. The answer to ALL our problems.
Post your views - then we can put them on the No. 10 Website. We must STOP thses Fat Bxxxxxs. |

Absolutely, this is a depression, not a recession on the horizon and all the bailouts in the world can't put money in the bank when a country can't even pay the interest on it's outstanding debt.
Think of it as a family that has been living FAR beyond it's means for 8 years to the point that they are hundreds of thousands in credit debt. They can't pay the interest on their debt from one month to the next, let alone tackle the principle.
This is the exact situation the USA is in today. The Feds are printing money to fill the banking needs for currency, but haven't enough gold reserves to back up this printed currency. As a result the value of the dollar is continuously dropping.
Add to this economically toxic situation a nation wide mortgage scam caused by deregulation of the banks and debt insurance that had insufficient capital to cover losses if the system collapsed.
Put these MASSIVE losses together and you have a nationwide collapse of the banking industry, just as bad or worse than 1929.
It will take many years of frugality, cessation of war and domestic growth initiatives in the US to rebound from the reckless spending and deregulation by the Republicans.

I know if you're about to retire, this is a time for some serious decisions.
If you are young, this is a time for some research and buying for the long term. |

This is all a part of the law of infinity. Everything has always been and will always be. Our economy will always be in a trend of recession then expansion, recession then expansion, and so on. There is nothing to worry about in the long run, which is where you should keep your head at all times. |
