Yup, the EU's markets have tanked, banks are folding. The EU central bank entity (paris) is calling for all EU members to chuck 500 billion or more into it... Germany has refused. Nationalism is re-emerging..

Bets on War in Europe inside the next decade?

Global insofar as everyone else is feeling the impact of the world's financial leader's mistakes.

USA! USA!

There were posters on this BBS just wringing their hands waiting for a financial failure in the USA. I was laughing the whole time thinking of a man sitting at the end of a board on a building, sawing the board....

Careful what you wish for. ;)  I've said many times, if WE go down, YOU go down.

Not me man...I am painfully aware that if you guys get a stuffed up nose we will catch pneumonia.  I just think the leadership role the US has enjoyed for quite some time needs to be be *yanked*.

Maybe the Chinese could do a better job?

I think it will be more than pneumonia, especially considering teh level of investment from abroad in the US banks that are folding.

As for the financial leader, I think whoever is ready and is capable should step to the plate at any time they feel they are up to it.

Yeah, let the Chinamen take the lead in world financials. That'd be cool! I like Chinese food!

They are so transparent wrt to their currency too; what could possibly go wrong?

Could they do any worse?

Besides, in China if a CEO messes up they shoot him.  Doesn't that appeal to you guys?

You Finns may not remember the last one, but we Southerners sure do.


And there just might be another one yet---but not between the states.

Guys...I whole heartedly recommend not posting anything about anything involving anything remotely having anything to do with the European country that's name starts with an F and ends with an e.

You just might find yourself......

The Russians are struggling - I said at the time of the Georgian crisis that the only hope to rein in Russian beligerance is big business.

Big business has pulled all kinds of money out of Russia since August - and the current crisis does nothing for people's appetite for risk. :D

And a Russia that has converted capital into tanks when faced with economic collapse is liable to use the tanks, lest they lose everything.
