July 30 2012

Room server went down in the afternoon, but the whole second half pf the day was a waste of time anyway. Morning however was very good for us.



Session Time: Mon Jul 30 00:00:00 2012
[08:30] {dolores} hello guys GM
[08:37] {nemo} where are you dolores?
[08:37] {dolores} spain
[08:37] {dolores} mallorca
[08:38] {dolores} originally I am argentinian
[08:38] {nemo} life's tough...good afternoon
[08:38] {dolores} yes afternoon
[08:45] {cipher} gm/ga
01[08:50] {Threei}  morning
01[08:58] {Threei}  ES) According to think-tank Open Europe, a sovereign bailout of Spain is impossible, would cost up to �650B - Telegraph
01[08:58] {Threei}  - Sees Spain borrowing costs as unsustainable; Govt may be forced out of the private market for up to 3 years.
01[08:58] {Threei}  - Study suggesting between now and 2015, Spain has funding needs of �542B with banks requiring additional �100B.
01[08:58] {Threei}  (EU) Moody's: ECB alone cannot solve debt crisis in Europe
[09:01] {nemo} shaw
[09:01] {dolores} they are teating spain as greece
[09:02] {dolores} I don't think spanish economy is so bad as greece
01[09:02] {Threei}  probably not, but it's not about economy per se... it's more about indebtness level
[09:02] {jackharry} good morning
01[09:03] {Threei}  jack :)
[09:03] {dolores} if they can find a solution where we can have more normal rates to finance in the long term the debt will start coming down
[09:03] {dolores} hi jack
01[09:04] {Threei}  that'a the main question...
01[09:04] {Threei}  can they sustain financing at such low rates and for such long time that it'd allow Spaon to get from under the burden
[09:05] {nemo} news on shaw?
01[09:05] {Threei}  we may be talking about hundreds of billions in financing for decades
01[09:05] {Threei}  yes nemo
[09:05] {nemo} well?
01[09:05] {Threei}  to be acquired for $46
[09:06] {dolores} yes if we can bring the deficit down and start growing at least some percentage
[09:06] {dolores} then the indebtness lowers down
[09:06] {dolores} there is  alot of corruption going on as usual
01[09:06] {Threei}  sure... but they may not have enough money to do that if private lenders refuse to buy bonds
[09:07] {nemo} the EU will set up a "vehicle" print Euros and then buy up the bonds just like the Fed is doing to artificially prop up demand for the $
01[09:08] {Threei}  you can see that problems in eash successive country arise when they get shut out of private market by too high r\ates
01[09:08] {Threei}  that's the core question nemo
01[09:08] {Threei}  can they do what you just said or not
01[09:09] {Threei}  so far they couldn't
[09:10] {nemo} mmmhhhhh X double bottom on daily
01[09:11] {Threei}  but they sure as heck will try
01[09:11] {Threei}  inflation be damned, savers be damned
[09:12] {nemo} system doesn't care about individuals, only the system
01[09:12] {Threei}  so frikin true
[09:14] {scottie} gm all
01[09:14] {Threei}  scottie :)
01[09:22] {Threei}  a lot of cross-currents
01[09:22] {Threei}  can't tell the likeliest direction yet... although up feels a bit more probable
