[10:01] {Threei} ***Recall that leaked versions of the rule seen in late September suggested that the rule would require very detailed policing of individual traders at banks.

[10:36] {Threei} ***Reminder: Earlier this morning, the EU/IMF/ECB (Troika) inspectors stated that Greece would get the next aid tranche when Eurogroup, IMF approve results of their review, most likely in early Nov, despite expectations that Greece would miss 2011 fiscal targets.
[10:39] {RonS} ...always wondered if people formed troikas so they could say the word troika...
[10:39] {Threei} sounds about right to me

[12:50] {Threei} (EU) Preview: Awaiting Slovak parliamentary vote on ratifying the EFSF; latest local reports say debate could continue for the next several hours before the vote
[12:50] {Threei} - On Monday, talks between the ruling party and its junior coalition partner, the SAS, failed to reach a compromise that would garner the support of the SAS in Tuesday's vote. The SAS has been seeking a provision that would allow Slovakia to opt out of the future ESM program in euro zone. The PM has indicated that if she cannot get the necessary votes from the SAS, she may have to compromise with the opposition Smer (Smer-Social Democracy), which supports the euro zone bailout programs but has said it wants a government reshuffle as a condition for getting its votes.
[12:50] {Threei} - This sets up a scenario for today that the first vote will fail in the Slovak parliament, followed by a second vote linked to a compromise that would then pass it. Expectations are that a second vote could come on Thursday.
[12:50] {Threei} - The vote today is also being discounted because of indications out of Europe that the EMU could arrange a "work around" solution even if Slovakia fails to ratify the EFSF, giving Slovakia's small size and tiny contribution to the EFSF.
[12:57] {swill} would there be a cup and h coming on slw?

[13:59] {Threei} (EU) Plans to insure EFSF bonds said to be gathering support; would insure 3T worth of bonds without increase in size of the EFSF program
[14:00] {Threei} are they really that dumb?
[14:00] {Threei} or just desperate enough to try anything?
[14:00] {dino} yes
[14:01] {Threei} what difference does it make banks underwriting the bonds, goverments garanteeing them or insurance companies insuring them?
[14:01] {Threei} in any case, there is an entity that accpets the risk of failure
[14:01] {dino} to both
[14:02] {Threei} and here is their rationale:
