Crazy God-damned Euro

I’m absolutely crying; I’ve never seen a currency rally so much on news that a central bank has started to print money (call it whatever you want, it’s printing money).

The euro is skyrocketing on promises it will be devalued because Italy and Greece have switched captains of the sinking ships.

I don’t care who’s in charge. You could have made Captain fucking Kirk head of the Titanic after it hit that iceberg. That fucker was going down, Trekis be damned.

The euro rallying on news that the ECB is buying tens of billions in Italian debt (which implies buying hundreds of billions in Italian debt) is about the equivalent of bidding a country’s debt into a negative yield, in the bond world.

    Bullshit, Kirk would’ve bluffed the Iceberg gods with the “I’ll call the self destruct codes if you don’t stop filling my holds with water” ploy.

    And you knew this had to end badly for the dollar. Don’t fight the Fed, Fred.

      Why does it have to end badly for the dollar? Our currency levels are being held stable and our companies are flush with cash.

      Meanwhile, the biggest combined economy in the world is teetering and needs to print.

    Just wait until they actually announce that they are going to devalue their currency. Euro should rally to all time highs off such news, judging by the logic we are seeing in the current market.

      Thanks FIG. You’re a useless fuck nut and don’t have a blog to read.

      I’ve been wrong for four weeks. Where were you in August, or September.

      Oh, probably cowering in the shadows, desperate for the rally to save you.

      But no dick, I covered MGM for a loss. Only oil remains.
