The Greek people never asked their government to borrow more than they could repay from their rich neighbors, iirc. That was the government's own doing. But then again, Greece is being run by a Socialist party...

China cuts holdings of US debt after ratings downgrade

Euro below parity would decimate Germany's earnings. Germany doesn't want that to happen, so it's not going to happen. Let's not forget who the progenitors and masters of the Euro experiment are. What's good for the rest of the EU isn't necessarily ...

Falling currency isn't really going to do anything, TUSA. An inflated Euro value only benefits Germany. If the Euro starts to fall, then every other country in the EU begins to gain more profitability and competitiveness over Germany, and starts to ...
Europe finally listening to Geithner

... Well, that was an interesting rant, but.... I wonder how close we are to seeing a 2(3/4/5)-tier Euro... Or maybe even a multi-currency board, similar to Argentina circa 1993.

Boosting the IMF role in Europe.... Even so, still relying on borrowed money to paper over the problems... Don't really think more loans is going to solve much.

German Factory Orders Unexpectedly Fall

ECB isn't going to cut rates. It would mean admitting they got it wrong when they increased them in the first place. Also, inflation spiked recently, which seems to be the ECB's preferred enemy. I guess fighting inflation is easier than fixing the ...

- BrotherPyrus commented Oct 6, 2011
1. the EU can't write a 'blank cheque', because they can't print and provide unlimited funds. The entire structure of the EMU is a zero-sum structure. 2. Even if they could finance printing debt, it would come at an uncontrollable interest ...

No new round of stress tests, because everybody already knows things are worse now than they were after the last 'test'. They won't dare do a new round of tests, things are already worse than their given 'worst-case scenario' last time around.

the Euro will survive, there's no doubt in my mind about that... but it's not going to be the Euro we have before us today. There's going to be less member nations, for sure, and depending on which nations leave, it'll either gain a lot of value.... ...
