Okay, here's the deal.

Berlusconi says he will resign AFTER the 2012 budget is passed.

This is something he has been trying to pass for a while now and hasn't managed to get it done.

So, he is dangling a carrot in front of those who oppose him.

"You want me gone?" he says. "Then help me pass the budget, and I will go" he adds with fingers crossed behind his back...

Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it

It really does not matter if austerity passes. How is it to be implemented.
Italians tend not to be a quiet people when pissed off.

EDIT - Gold and silver crashing, EUR seems OK - for now...

I trust Berlusconi; have you seen the women he screwed??

Maybe someone on this forum can explain how Berlusconi leaving will make Italy more stable.

The only way Italy has a functioning government is when a single strongman is on the scene.

The rest of the time anarchy more aptly describes Italian government.
The markets want reform in Italy. The italian civil service is a bloated beast that is totally unproductive(something many civil service/state departments have in common).

Italy sold bonds and Berlusconi made promises to reform. He hasn't reformed. No one wants to buy more Italian bonds until they believe reform will happen.

good ole' Berlo doesn't want to reform things, as that would mean the elimination of 'cash deals & brown paper bags'. The mafia like 'cash deals & brown paper bags'.... Berlo is corrupt, everyone inside and outside Italy knows this. I was in Rome a few weeks ago and any Italian I spoke to has absolutely no time for the man. He controls 90% of the media, over the years he has bought off anyone that may cause a problem.

He stifles innovation and the creation of new business models. Any government - even one that squabbles - would implement more progressive policies than what has been done to date.

Italy's president said Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has promised to resign after parliament passes economic reforms demanded by the European Union to save Italy from getting engulfed further in Europe's debt crisis.

I myself prefer a little corruption in Government. As the years go by having learned, having some goods on someone, (yes a bit of blackmail leverage) can be used to keep things in check.
Those who desire the purity of snow in politics generaly get a snowjob.

There is a balance between some good healthy vice and virtue to extreme.

I think if we break through 1.3846 we can expect some more bull movement...Up to possibly 1.41 in the long run...

Hi guys.
Today after trading hours is close for C.O.T. . I am waiting interesting numbers on Friday.
Remember: Last two weeks Commercial opened 378 000 short positions on Eurodollars vs. 100 000 long. They have into big money.
In my opinion they will avail bull sentiment for increase shorts.
I am affraid unstable Italy for debt worries.
Berluscony end no help for recession in EU and Italy bonds to 3% no reduce.

(sorry my English)

Good luck.

The world is in need of a revolution, in the face of the central controlling banks! Currency needs to be put back in the hands of the goverment, and not the central banks who produce the currency and lend it out to the goverments at interest making it impossible to ever repay the debt.

From economical point of view, you need to count in corruption of government as a negative externality.

So it is "politicians rating" = "good done" -"corruption"

It will take a political solution to keep Europe together.
A bunch of bureaucrats making decisions about how to go forward is a disaster about to happen. They have book smarts and degrees but no knowledge of how the world works.

To paraphrase a well known businessman, Politics is the art of the deal.
Beauraucrats are good at filling in forms, not putting together lasting deals.
