Dubai crisis jolts markets, but early fears ?
Where the economy leading after recession
Dubai's debt crisis rattled world financial markets Friday, raising concerns that some banks could further tighten lending and stall the global economic recovery.
The possible spillover effects centered on fears that international banks could suffer big losses if Dubai's investment arm defaulted on its $60 billion debt. Stock and commodity markets tumbled in New York, London and Asia as investors flocked to the U.S. dollar as a safe haven.
But earlier concerns that the crisis might trigger another financial meltdown seemed to ease after some analysts downplayed the risks for U.S. banks, which are thought to have little exposure to the Middle Eastern city-state.

Prima facie it seems to be ...Prima facie it seems to be less than a 10th of what we witnessed a few months back... moreover some analysts feel the valuations of stocks got overstretched in the rally in stock markets lately and needed a trigger for correction... but then need to wait for a while till the fallout is actually assessed... hopefully Abu Dhabi would bail it out....

Dubai bankrupt ...I just want to address one of many unjust happenings that are going on around this fall out
think that we have to look at what is actually happened/happening
Dubai has debts that it can not pay back!!! full stop..
Here are some definitions of bankruptcy i think they are appropriate. Ever tho Dubai has NO BANKRUPTCY LAWS. Its simple if you can pay your debt you go to PRISON!!!
Definition A
Law A debtor that, upon voluntary petition or one invoked by the debtor's creditors, is judged legally insolvent. The debtor's remaining property is then administered for the creditors or is distributed among them.
Definition B
Financially ruined; impoverished.
and my favorite Definition C
Being in a ruined state: a bankrupt foreign policy.
They have spent money like a teenager that has just won lotto and now we can see that it was unwise. I can only feel empathy for the poor workers/slaves they have built this ghost city in the sand

sad to say, all of us here are just spectators, watching to what may happen. we have no control but we will be heavily affected at the end.
