Certain events of 2008 have fascinated me. Iam exploring all these events or "themes" (as i would like to call them) in detail. I have listed some of them below:
1. The Fall of the US dollar
2. The compounding of the subprime crisis
3. The 60,000 crore write off by the Indian govt on farm loans
4. The printing of paper currencies and excessive inventory at Fort Knox
5. The collapse of Bear Sterns
6. Inflation reaching an all time high in India
7. The forecast for crude oil at $200 per barrel
8. Financial decoupling turning out to be a myth
9. Conspiracy theory of Gold adopted by Central banks of the world
10.Various valuation theories in equity markets shown the door
11.Iam witness to a classical bear market for the first time in my life after a
grade appropriate understanding of stock markets.
12.How difficult it is to be "Ben bernanke" as the central banker of the world
U may feel free to add points that u consider to be "significant drivers" for 2008 in the financial markets.

These points have pretty much covered it. However, I would like to include the 'Food Shortage' which looks so ugly and tells us that the world economy has collectively failed.
