After U.S. financial markets closed on Friday, S&P announced credit downgrades for nine European nations

Over the past several months we have seen quite a few credit downgrades all over Europe, but we have never seen anything quite like what S&P just did. . .

In addition, there was another really, really troubling piece of news that came out of Europe on Friday.

We are on the verge of some very bad things. The kinds of "financial bombs" that we saw dropped today are going to become much more frequent. As governments, banks and investors scramble to survive, we are going to see extreme amounts of volatility in the financial marketplace.

Things are not going to be "normal" again for a really, really long time.

Hold on tight, because 2012 is going to be a very interesting year.

Hopefully the entire global financial system is not on the verge of a major implosion.

But you might want to get prepared just in case.
