    There will be a massive route of all bears tomorrow if this goes through. Seriously, we will run this shit back to DOW 13k. If you couldn’t handle the heat, fine, go ahead and sell and go to cash. But the shorters will be routed en masse.

    They are certainly leaning one way.

    “This is no different from QE. Get your space helmets ready.”

    It’s not actually, cronkers.The ECB has to sterilizers the purchases so it’s not QE. At least it has done in the past. I believe they aren’t allowed to QE like that, which is problematic.

    What the do is go buy bonds and hand over the money they then go out and drain the cash outta the system

    The thing to watch is to see if they do any temporary QE, which is the long term repose they do that allows them to get around the rule. We need to see if they increase that and by how much because that will be the real QE if only temporary.

    Seriously this is it, that all they bought? $80 Bill? It’s fucking nothing.

    “To meaningfully stem contagion to Spain and Italy, the ECB would have significantly ramp up its bond purchases, a step it has been loath to take. It has purchased less than €80 billion of Greek, Irish and Portuguese bonds since the program began in May 2010.”

    Fucking pussies, they need Ben Bernanke to show the fuckers how to load up a balance sheet with shit assets.

    They need to buy E500 billion right here right now.

    I was under the impression that they’d start buying directly. In other words, printing euros to finance.

    The QE game is over. EU QE is the same as our QE. Totally, worthless bull shit. The only impact is further increasing debt that will have to be destroyed which only ensures a massive global depression. The worst in human history. Bull shit stock market rallies off this continual bull shit are OVER. Keep doing QE…fine with me…just more logs on the DEPRESSION fire and worldwide violent socioeconomic revolution that will destroy the parasitic banksters and their paid of government traitors. There will be blood in the streets…literally. Way over due. Gonna’ be fun!
