[11:42] {Threei} for a minute looked like was going to be killed
[11:42] {dino} yeah, almost stopped it
[11:42] {Threei} wow, l,ook at this beauty:
[11:42] {Threei} *DJ IMF Says Could Raise Funds From European Countries, Central Banks
[11:42] {Threei} rofl
[11:43] {Threei} IMF raises money from european countires to lend it to european countries
[11:43] {Threei} now I get it
[11:43] {dino} you know, this rally is based on a solution, which i am failing to see
[11:45] {Threei} for those who don't read facebook, here is what I posted two days ago:
[11:45] {Threei} as impressive as this manic rally is, it's still an action of an addict who just got another fix. Nothing is solved - this is not a crisis of liquidity, it's a crisis of indebtedness and (potential) insolvency, with lack of liquidity being just a consequence and a symptom. Injections or financial trickery with swap rates can buy time but don't do anything to solve the underlying problem.
[11:45] {Threei} Sure, markets hop in joy seeing new money coming in and facing no immediate collapse. As usual, trade what you see and not what you think - but do keep in mind that crisis resolution got merely postponed.
[11:45] {Threei} today:
[11:45] {Threei} Steen Jakobsen, Saxo Bank: The market loves cheap liquidity and has reacted positively to yesterday�s coordinated move on USD swap lines, but this debt crisis is a problem of solvency � not one of liquidity/printing money, which makes the intervention a de facto exercise of extend-and-pretend, version 5.0.
[11:46] {Threei} that about sums it up
[11:50] {Threei} ok, this was uncalled for:
[11:50] {Threei} (US) Former St Louis Fed's Poole: US is only a few years behind Greece
[11:50] {Threei} who asked him to tell the truth?
[11:50] {dino} well think about it, tarp hit in sept '08, we bounced then dropped historically into 09
[11:50] {Threei} (US) France Pres Sarkozy scheduled to meet with US Treasury Sec Geithner on Dec 7; two days before the EU summit
[11:50] {Threei} yup
[11:51] {Threei} ssme is going to happen here
[11:51] {Threei} possibly worse
[11:51] {dino} gut call, yes
[11:51] {Threei} and, as unpleasant as it sounds, it's a good thing
[11:51] {Threei} excess must be flushed out of the system
[11:51] {Threei} otherwise we can never start recovery
[11:52] {Threei} real one
[11:52] {Threei} not financed by trickery
[11:52] {dino} should have taken the pain last year
[11:52] {dino} wow uvv

[12:44] {dino} sm l big .06
[12:48] {dino} wabc sm l .90
[12:48] {Threei} (EU) ECB's Stark: More sovereign nations are encountering financing issues; need urgent solutions; solutions lay with Governments
[12:48] {Threei} - Notes that low interest rates may discourage bank deleveraging
[12:48] {Threei} - Economic outlook has worsened given uncertainty and downside risks
