It sees a probability of 99% for a complete breakup within ten years. It could easily happen much faster. If one country leaves, it would [...] Bob Morris on Dec 6, 2011, 10:15 am The European Socialists were meeting over the weekend in Brussels. They should be full of fire, with half a billion people facing brutal austerity and a lack of leadership in the EU. But no. I walked past one room where a group of serious people were seriously discussing the serious topic of “How can we [...] Bob Morris on Dec 6, 2011, 8:47 am It’s your choice, Europe; choose wisely. If you want a model for sanity and growth, look to Iceland. They renounced their unpayable debts and debt-serfdom, and let the market reprice their currency, debt and risk. The nightmare is past for them; they chose wisely. Now it’s your turn to choose. The debt-serfdom will fall to [...] Bob Morris on Dec 3, 2011, 12:00 pm From Neurope, ‘The European Political Newspaper’, on the proposed solution 1. The EU in general and the Eurozone member states in particular will be conceding their fiscal and borrowing sovereignty to a central authority. This could be achieved either through changes to the European Treaties or under a new intergovernmental structure such as the Schengen [...] Sue on Dec 1, 2011, 9:00 am Secret Fed loans gave banks $13 billion undisclosed to Congress The Fed didn’t tell anyone which banks were in trouble so deep they required emergency loans of a combined $1.2 trillion on Dec. 5, 2008, their single neediest day. Bankers didn’t mention that they took tens of billions of dollars at the same time they [...] Bob Morris on Nov 28, 2011, 4:00 am The eurozone really has only days to avoid collapse Germany, France examine radical push for eurozone integration World’s largest inter-dealer broker (one that carries out transactions for financial institutions rather than private individuals), now testing trades in drachma against dollar, euro Bank of France: Europe in “true financial crisis“ Bob Morris on Nov 25, 2011, 8:30 pm Bruce Krasting A move is being made in Brussels to “force” the Swiss government/ banks to transfer all of the assets of Greek citizens back to the Greek banks. For a Greek this means that your money is hostage. It has been functionally expropriated. It will be transferred into a banking system that is [...] Bob Morris on Nov 23, 2011, 9:00 am Dow off 145, banks getting slammed, Europe going kablooey A German bond auction failed to sell out. This isn’t supposed to happen and is a bad moon rising indeed. Bob Morris on Nov 10, 2011, 12:57 pm Join David Buccola, reporting on Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Sothebys (he’s active in both) as well as Keith Boyea, maybe Josh Mull, and myself.

(The more rational among us might inquire as to why the banksters found that massive haircut to be such a joyous occasion.) But the euphoria will be short-lived.
