I thought the EU was supposed to prevent another war in Europe.
Don't think I'd wanna be a German in Cyprus atm.

@ Piters too...

What I find particularly interesting is how the bastards kick ass in managing PR.

Those, the bankers, are the biggest and only bastards in this Cyprus MESS. No regulation, dirty money, no taxes, bad investments in Greece and etc, the cash need represent more than 8 times the total GDP alone of the country, they manage to clean the house before this bailout for the biggest money and left the average Cypriot naked, they found a technicality (the so call tax") to avoid taking the hit and go busted, and they GOT the Bailout from EZ playing the risk contagion card ....

They ARE THE BASTARDS ...and the funny thing is that because the PR machine nobody is complaining about them. Media coverage is just brilliant: The EU is the problem? The euro is the problem? the russian mafia is the problem ? the lack of UK regulation for banks is the problem? Greece is problem? and even the average Joe in the street has Merckel sign thinking that she was the one who create this mess ... I wonder why everybody call the scapegoats and nobody seem to mention the real bastards who create this mess?...

Sorry but fck that, blaming and putting on the headlines the outsiders is just brilliant PR.They always have done it. ..next week the bastard will be back with business as usual with a bailout and fresh money from the EZ the Russians and the average Cypriot ....and the rest will still think that the problem and the losses come from a bunch of technocrats in the IMF and couple of EZ politicians that are putting the money to save their asses from the mismanagement of thier own banks....shameful really

I just heard a very interesting expert (not politicians BS) with real numbers on the issue in Bloomberg TV (if a find a link I will send you) : rephrasing him: forget about those supposedly flight capital, even with the 9.8% tax/loss it will be less than they paid in taxes in Russia and in any EU country ... in simple words, the "tax" for them is just the cost of doing business ...dirty money is going nowhere (as long as they stay in the Euro)..after the average Joe and the EZ pays the bill ...next week as we have been talking in the thread...business as usual...

Sad but prolly true...

In any case, confirmed only one level to track in the Euro from now to the Q roll including FOMC and the rest 1.298x.... I want one more clean sweep intraday on panic before i close the shop...

I should have bought right at market open this week, but who's doing sth. like that... in hindsight that's easy. I have a huge mid at 2877 that's not been touched, so I didn't do anything, and atm we're trapped inside 2 mofus simultaneously (i hate to write this word...). Any b/o out of this will most likely be done within a blink of an eye, but mofus are mofus and they don't care for any of my ideas.

that's all good mate.. noone is scared for 9 or 15%
but what everyone fear is the precedent we are making here as an excuse for next time when can is on the road.. We are going to see BankRUns.. and panic..

Ruining the whole trust and confidence into the banking system.. That is the problem here, and everyone [including me] scratching their heads...
No Deposit is safe.. Nowhere.. as there is no Bank which is solid..

Yes agree 100%. I mentioned yesterday. The main problem is the moral hazard they created with this decision but that it's for later and it will be felt on the next Spanish/Italian/or whoever next hiccup not on the tiny crumbs of the current Cypriot crisis.
