The Gap to track is being filled (ES). ES about to complete filling the GAP (euro is still far and is not leading at all the move back up right now) cleaning the knee jerk reaction (made on air) in equities. Now we can start the real move. Decision time across the board in the next few sessions.

So crazy. I wonder how things would go in the US if they ever tried this. Maybe it would be the final nail in the coffin to get people up off their bum for once. They already steal enough money through taxes on a yearly basis as it is and can't manage it properly.
Yep and it takes a politician to really fcuk things up.

If you analyse in detail it is more complex than it appears.

 

  1. It easy to understand and feel bad for the average Cypriot that has to pay the price of the stupidity and mismanagement of their banks.

  1. Also the Russian position is obvious and expected. Russian money alone will prolly end paying more in this bailout than any Cypriot.

  1. It is also very easy to understand the mass UK media which will trash (it sell very well in the UK for all parties) anything related to the "Continent". It is always like that with or without reasons.


However, if you check the German and EZ position they probably are not that crazy with that plan (but only politic and macroecomic wise). Why on earth you are going to put ALL the money and bailout to save Russian and from some other places (mostly dirty money) that has been parked in Cyprus. Avoiding taxes and regulations all these years? and the other bit is to bailout British people form the Troops (military personal) when the UK has hammered the Euro all this time and has block any possible common agreement and they treating to make the EU project collapse.

They didn't even agree on regulating the bastards that caused the last financial crisis that even Switzerland agreed. Now those same Bastards are getting a free ride bailout from the EZ and Germany...it sounds just "right" to make the Russians and the Brits pay a small piece of their share ...I think is fair to say the least. ...

Obviously, not implying that the average Cypriot need to pay the mess the bastards created ...but if not them who? ...10% sound cheap given the the stupidities that were made. As a Cypriot I will prosecute those bankers and jail forever and confiscate all their assets and future profits for the next 100 years ...but for the rest ....the EZ prolly did the only and best option available ...

I hear what you are saying but none of this has got anything to do with fairness - it's a jungle and there are no rules - there is no right and wrong anymore.

The EZ might be right but they couldn't have made a bigger cock up if they had tried.

And as for the UK - we are in worse shape than even Greece - our national debt is 5X GDP.

What we are talking about here is the continuance of the fiat currency ponzi scheme and the politicos will do everything they can to keep it going.

Ultimately this can only end one way IMHO - very BADLY.

I see where are you coming from... Agree, sure. But IMO in the case of the EU (UK included) the currency issues are the consequence not the cause. Most of the bailout countries and some big ones like the UK and France are paying the price of not making structural reform on time/. Without competitiveness there is no CB Sterling, Euro, Drachma or whatever that can avoid the unavoidable.

The ECB and BOE they are only doing their job (very poorly in the case of the BOE but still) with the tools they have (currency) while the politicians in charge has systematically refuse to do implement what is need ... printing money like mad, holding on the euro, devaluing like no tomorrow Sterling will as you imply higher and higher costs later ...the problem is the politicians neither have the balls neither the intellectual capacity in some case t do it ..at the end the average European will keep paying the price of that ...

In simple words is not a currency problem but a structural one...

In any case, bears in equities remain comatose, while in the euro (intraday) are in a hurry in the last 5 intraday leg down since last week....and like usual when they move in a hurry ....all of them have extend the range but failed to sustain a break... Roll below 1,293x open 1.276x non stop...let see still some time...
