I worked for the BoE for a while some years ago and to be honest had considerable respect for the guys there, now I am not sure if that respect was misplaced.

I really have to wonder what they are thinking as all evidence seems to clearly point to this approach not working, and yet with fingers in ears and blinkers on they still seem poised to hit the print button, and if the article is correct the EU, UK and US will hit the button at the same moment.

My initial response was "oh crap" and still is..

And how much of the profits will stay in America?

I noticed the American AAV7A1 is on the list of items they want.. and yet, although they are made by an American the company it is in turn owned by BAE systems..

It gets to the point I get dizzy trying to track this money merry-go-round

The question is why selling tanks to a nation that is in edge of a possible military coup the way things are right now with the austerity, (but they just bought 400 tanks) and a possible bankruptcy.

Makes no sense.

Somebody will be profiting from death and chaos.

So the company main offices are in the UK interesting, they call themselves America company but they are not.

I feel like someone is climbing on my back

I predict France will be downgraded at the End of this Week (in the next 2 Days) after the DEXIA-Bank-Rescue fails...and then...KABOOM

That happens when you decide to become educated and aware of what goes on around you, if you just do like many Americans and live in lala land then your days will be just fantastic, with your pink colored glasses and drinking koolaid.

I like to have something crawling on my back all the time so I am a masochist I guess.

And suddenly, there is more demand for oil. Brooom brooom!
Ford promised 12.000 new work places. Brooom brooom!
Little war between Apple and Siemens is gonna create some profits too.
My, this trading world is really a resourceful place.
No need for more QE definitely

Thought you all might enjoy this hilarious video, which pretty much sums up the world economic situation and the irony of it all.

I don't care anymore.

I hope it all comes crashing down in a fiery display.

You know what, that is exactly what I thought trying to figure this out, US may have something to gain helping reconstruct the nation after a coup

I think this might actually be the last (manipulated) Rally before it all comes crashing down,probably by Friday...there is only one Solution that could stop it now: More Money Printing

Regardless of what the markets are actually doing, I just wish I had ten bucks for everytime I saw headlines that said on one day Investors rally the market on hopes of a European bailout and were followed by Investor sell-off on fears that there will be no European bailout

I'd be friggin' RICH, I tell ya.

Reality is, nobody has a damn clue what is going to happen so investors are amusing themselves by collectively and fiscally fellating each other and living off the avails of their ethical prostitution, leaving the market going up and down faster and more often than a sailor's bum on shore leave.

What a schmozzle.

We have now entered into the Voluntary Confession Phase of the Great Crucifiction.
(Not "Crucifixion". I call it panic.)
