Quantitative Easing will save us all. Germany and France will look at the psychedelic shitstorm Trump is creating and vote for rational candidates. Printing notes is not quantitative easing. QE is the purchase of government bonds by the central bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just now, welshbairn said: Which increases the money supply. Same difference. Not in the Eurozone. The printing of notes by the ECB would increase the money supply in the Eurozone. The ECB buying Italian government bonds would have a very different impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Really? Italy's national debt is 130% of its declining GDP. Without reform, Italy will need a Greek-style bailout. Italian Banking system on the edge, huge shock waves across the EU if it fails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banco del Monti Paschi, Banca Popolare Milano and Banco Popolare in particular are currently looking like sitting ducks. Even with the proposed merger between the last 2 they are taking an absolute pounding on the markets and look like the will struggle to turn it around.

AyrExile Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Maybe this is part of the masterplan. The more uneducated young people we have in Scotland the more Yes voters are out there for the next referendum. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Trying to listen to the Scottish Lord Advocate James Wolffe who is speaking just now on the Brexit Appeal. I'm sure he's talking a lot of sense and presenting Scotland's case to the best of his ability, but I can hardly make out a word he's saying. He's already been told to speak up but is continuing to mutter and mumble almost incoherently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
