well we saw zero reaction to it, which is odd, wonder what we will hear in the morning about it, will be interesting either way...

I just checked FT, they reported it this afternoon, and yes, no reaction. A very intriguing insinuation. The real question is, whether this is a reflection on SocGen or on the general outlook for euroland as a whole.........

Just checking in real quick.

If this is true, and I need to add a big "if", yes this is a very big deal.
why wouldn't it be true, as CFO of Siemens I see no reason to do exactly the same, prob a lot earlier but these the take time at corporate level?

Siemens is a bit of a special case, they are a bank, they can easily deposit with the ECB, they can even use the desensitising process to earn a decent return on their cash. That's why I am not drawing any conclusions out of this one yet. It is impossible to judge their reasoning just yet.

I cant think of any other reason the would deal directly with the ECB...I mean could they be involved in some other one off transaction, but even then, why would they not use regular banking channels...

I'm good sofia...rocking it! Thanks for asking!

Glad you're out there enjoying the weather...always nice when the a/c gets turned off! Mind you, in Toronto, you don't really get too long before the heat gets switched on...at night, anyway. Not complaining...I love this time of year!

Don't be missing here...there'll always be a few bastards floating about whenever you call in. Mind you...drop those bombs when you enter the room, and I might start thinking you're the biggest bastard in the room!

Know where I'm going? Starbucks!...
Get me some too)

That's why these articles are so hard to judge on facevalue, I am sure they only report what is needed to get the most shock value, that sells newspapers/advertising.

well, my name stays as it is, but otherwise I herewith declare it has no implication at all.
USD might fundamentally still be the worse currency but politics in Europe try so hard to change this, they might succeed, at least for a while.....
