[09:06] {Threei} I don't need to read it, I know the gist by looking at the author
[09:06] {Threei} themis who made it his life purpose to chase HFT
[09:08] {nemo} basically hft is moving faster than the exchanges can adapt and exchanges are taking the financial hit on "errors"

[11:58] {Threei} (EU) Fitch comments on EMU LTRO program; potential for third round is increasing- Fitch: The likelihood that a third longer-term refinancing operation (LTRO) will be needed by certain banks in 'peripheral' eurozone countries is increasing due to worries over eurozone sovereigns, limited deleveraging ability and flat-to-negative deposit trends among other factors - The timing of any further LTRO is uncertain, but is unlikely to be imminent without a further significant shock, such as a Greek exit from the eurozone. If a third LTRO is needed, we believe it will be provided. - We think French banks are the least likely among the biggest users of the first two LTROs to need another round of funding from the ECB. The French banks have been able to strengthen customer deposits, in part by attracting money that had been deposited in money market funds
[11:58] {Threei} yes... first two rounds got us nowhere, let's do a third one
[11:59] {Threei} FMCN... missed the fun

[13:02] {Threei} (EU) EU's Oettinger: Merkel shouldnt reject idea of Eurobonds outright as their adoption is only a question of timing
[13:02] {Threei} I must be insane...
[13:02] {Threei} seems I am the only one who thinks this idea is insane
[13:02] {Threei} well, aside of merkel
[13:08] {Threei} GLD... grrr

[15:32] {Threei} (GR) Former Greece PM Papademos (PASOK): There is a real risk that Greece could exit the Euro; estimates of �500B-1.0T in costs underscore the seriousness of such an action- Sees economic impact to Greece from a Euro exit as 'catastrophic'; going back to Drachma would trigger an inflationary spiral - Notes there is not much room to renegotiate the bailout mechanisms.
