In Thread: EUR
Don't think M3 contains the continued tap of ECB's emergency borrowing facility. I do not see EUR strength increasing with M3 increasing. Interesting is, as in USA, M0 keeps falling. Less cash circulating . Nevertheless, unlike in US, cash is still too high in Ezone.

The target of riots is China. Asia accounts for about 50% of world population but 80% of Asia folks live on 2 $ a day.
And don't forget: Medvedev conceded Russia productivity is at the level of Botswana.
I think it is lower.
Thus the new world order will be the old one: the FED rules the world.
Dr. Ben clever man. China and Russia oligarchs as greedy as stupid. Ezone leaders as lazy as stupid.

In Thread: EUR
The connection Greece Dubai via Cyprus is widely unknown. If the connection still exists, prepare for a sudden unexpected flaring up of Euro crisis:

Persian Gulf shares slumped, sending Dubais benchmark stock index down the most this month, on concern political unrest in the region may spread.

Emaar Properties PJSC, builder of the worlds tallest skyscraper, dropped 2.5 percent. Dubai Islamic Bank PJSC, the United Arab Emirates biggest Shariah-compliant lender, fell to the lowest intraday level in almost a week. The DFM General Index retreated 1.9 percent, the most since Jan. 30, to 1,564.58 at 11:18 a.m. in Dubai. Kuwaits gauge tumbled 2.4 percent, led by Mobile Telecommunications Co. as its board rejected all purchase offers for its 25 percent stake in Zain Saudi Arabia.

Debkafile again war mongering: http://www.debka.com/article/20686/
Tehran connived to slip the two Iranian warships through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sunday, Feb. 20, after a series of fake delaying tactics agreed between them to cover the flotilla's movements. Egypt's military rulers approved the passage of Iranian flotilla through the Suez Canal without inspecting their freights for banned cargo, taking advantage of the sandstorm over the region which obscured them from spy satellites and helped them to give monitors the slip. Tehran marked this landmark event with an official state TV statement Sunday that the ships had entered the Mediterranean and were on their way to Syria. Sunday, Cairo was still saying they will only reach Suez Monday.

Why this can be dangerous: most likely the two warships are unarmed. Will nevertheless be attacked by Israel war marine , or at least stopped in international waters.
The perfect scenario for martyrdom.

In Thread: EUR
It appears so that Euribor and Eonia do not mean much anymore, except for mortgage and private consumer credits, as banks in liquidity crunch do not borrow from banks other than the ECB. This is very dangerous as no instrument exists that warns of big interbank problems and hence problems of EUR.

In Thread: EUR
Financial times: "Anglo Irish Bank and the Irish Nationwide Building Society, Irelands two most troubled lenders, were behind a spike in overnight borrowings this week from the European Central Bank, according to people familiar with the transactions."
This was behind the fat spike in overnight borrowing from ECB which was EUR 16bln instead of
EUR 1 bln usual lending.
Ok. it is liquidity crunch by another name, TARP and QE ( because these banks sit on valueless
sov bonds ) by another name.

Could be the downmove. I just read Britons drink from skulls. Supposedly a russian Oligarch practice which became less popular after the polonium case. But Britons are said they'll die for traditional custmos.
