The First Crack in the System: Collateral Doom Loop (Part 1)
The First Crack in the System: Collateral Doom Loop (Part 1)
Lynette Zang: 4-20-2026
A financial crisis doesn’t start with a crash—it starts with a crack.
In Part 1 of this Financial Doom Loop series, Lynette breaks down the Collateral Doom Loop—the hidden mechanism behind every major market collapse.
When collateral values fall, margin calls hit. That triggers forced selling… which pushes prices even lower.
Once this loop begins, the system starts pulling itself apart from the inside.
From 1987 to 2008 to today, the same pattern keeps repeating—but with bigger consequences each time.
