RBS issued a call for a 25% + decline in worldwide equity markets over the next three months. The problem with the report is that it is issued by a London-based analyst who has been right on so far with his predictions about the credit crisis and its impact. It is probably time to get very defensive.

Sounds like more fear mongering.
"Such a slide on world bourses would amount to one of the worst bear markets over the last century."
He's referring to the 300 point drop he predicts in the S&P 500 later this year. The S&P 500 is at 1339 today so that represents a 22% decline. That's not great but hardly catastrophic. I believe the declines in 2001 were worse. The Nasdaq in 2001 lost over 50% of its market value.
