Hmmmm.... two regional banks in the USA have seen their share price decline on the news that they are both carrying substantial numbers of loans on their books that were gained via fraud... and so will unlikely to be paid back.

And before you say, 'Oh its just a couple of regional US banks", remind yourself how the sub-prime mortgage crisis started in exactly the same way & where that ended up (in 2008)!

Another leading indicator of a crisis about to hit?

Things I would like to add as strong indicators that the US economy is already in a recession and headed down. These are heavily influenced by the fact that I am still looking for work.

1.) I was very interested in 2 apprenticeships. They only open up their lists every 2 years. One decided to not open theirs at all because they barely had enough work for their current apprentices. The second kept their 20 day application period open for 8 hours before they closed it.
