Why am I not surprised that the next financial crisis will once again find its origins in the United States of Dollarland? I probably won't be surprised either if Benny B waves his financial wand and create more dollars out of thin air when asked ...

Bernanke just assured student loan bubble will be next "Financial Stability Issue"

@ Bakker: I guess your observation is more or less right but Germany's stability depends greatly on the entire EU stability. In my opinion the northern part of the EU is fairly okay. The problem is quite simple: if Germany holds on to this ...

CDU’s Kauder: Buba’s Weidmann has CDU support on ECB plan

It means they're still playing 'chicken'. Draghi vs Weidmann.

Bundesbank: Hasn't Changed View on ECB Buying Government Bonds [DJ]

url Enlighten me people. Is there any certainty left in the world of financial policy? Or should I refer to it as currency wars?

Draghi sends strong signal that ECB will act

Stirling Moss, eternally chasing the world championship. I'm afraid the UK is somewhat like Sir Moss when compared to the Eurozone. I'd love to see some kind of progress in their cooperation. Imagine a strong EU with the UK as one of it's leading ...

IMF loses all faith in the euro project

Ever since DSK most Europeans have lost faith in the IMF.

IMF loses all faith in the euro project

Non-intervention is not an answer either. The system works best within a certain set of rules. Without governments participating in the economic life, we'd all be living in the Wild West.

Disunited states of Europe

Same old story, different times. What we see today, is the same confrontation we've had in Europe for ages. The eternal oposition between France and Germany, a stubborn and cocky UK meddling with everything but refusing to participate nevertheless, ...

Disunited states of Europe

Guess you're right about that. The problem is much bigger 'though. Same thing has happened in the US with Occupy Wall Street. People are getting nervous everywhere. Time for some real economic intervention. I hope to see some stimulating decisions ...

Disunited states of Europe

My opinion too. It's too easy to spread unconfirmed messages these days. Twitter is more dangerous than anything else these days... Edit: url Negative yields in Austria too. I'd like to see a status update from 'Unconfirmed' to 'proven false'. ;-)

Market talk of a potential Austrian sovereign downgrade - unconfirmed

Unconfirmed, but it has caused some panic anyway. One would think there's an coordinated attack going on, ready to hit the Euro whenever signs of hope emerge. The global financial system is a battlefield and whoever's calling the shots is shooting ...

US Consumer sentiment cools again in early July

Wish I could say it was I, but I'm probably not big enough to cause rumours... :-D

Chatter Eastern European CB the big buyer in EURUSD

I'd say there is something wrong with the American Dream rather than with Krugmans idea. Because the way I see this it comes with a challenging rethinking of social reality. It could work, you know. But it's not something that will happen overnight.

Why Americans should work less – the way Germans do

They've had their share of bad luck. Hope everyone is well.

New Zealand hit by an Earthquake Magnitude 6.5

Would that be the United States if England? ;-)

Spain’s Economy Minister: Handful of countries can’t block ESM moves

It's easy targetting the EU and leaving similar stupidity elsewhere unspoken of. I think there could have been a solution a long time ago if certain people had a little more courage and a lot more sense of responsability.

Spain’s Economy Minister: Handful of countries can’t block ESM moves

What's the majority opinion here? I hope for the best but I'm prepared forst the worst.

And that money comes from... right... politicians operating the money press...

How Wall Street Scams Counties Into Bankruptcy

You see, that's exactly what I meant. You should be watching the charts every single minute because the rumours are all you get right now. But it's frustrating and exhausting like hell. There's no certainty that being focused all the time is going ...
