    Former Goldman Sachs managing director to lead ECB

    Pls do suggest one of these thousand available people who are as qualified as Draghi. Moreover, the point I am making is simple. I have no idea if Draghi is the best candidate for the job, but suppose for a minute he is. Should the mere fact that he used to be employed by the Squid...

    What's wrong with Iron Condors

    +1... IMHO, (as I mentioned already in an older thread) this is all about mark-to-mkt and sort of "negative externalities" embedded in it.

    German magazine Spiegel:Greece could reintroduce its own currency

    While this article is sensationalist, I am sure that there is some fire behind the smoke. Quite clearly, the Greeks are using their ultimate argument now in an attempt to improve the terms of the bailout. If they leave the EMU they'll most certainly redenominate the debt to drachma, since it...

    German magazine Spiegel:Greece could reintroduce its own currency

    That's incorrect... Rates you see for the old ccies are NOT actually updated real time. They're just numbers calculated using the current EUR rate and a fixed ratio that was calculated when the common ccy was introduced. So, for example, DEMUSD will always move precisely in line with EURUSD...

    Former Goldman Sachs managing director to lead ECB

    Problem is that, with Weber refusing to play like a petulant child, Auntie Angela doesn't have a suitable alternative.

    Why you are a slave. Rothschild's own you! End The FED!

    Well, I would say that, seeing as how OBL is an enemy combatant, you don't need a court to authorize his killing. Otherwise, how would wars ever be fought?

    Wait, is the Greek situation the Fed's fault as well? I did not know that...

    For sure... I just think that we have to make sure to put the emphasis where it properly belongs.

    Why you are a slave. Rothschild's own you! End The FED!

    Well, I think I'd argue the OBL case is a little different... Wouldn't you agree?

    OK, this is getting ridiculous.. how is EURUSD now over 1.42?? (4/1/11)

    It's perfectly fine, dude... To me, this is a simple case of a washout in a very crowded trade and not much else.

    Let me guess... The Fed's behind this, right?

    Former Goldman Sachs managing director to lead ECB

    So you don't care whether Draghi is actually any good, right? The only thing that matters is whether ha has worked for Goldies in the past or not, right?

    Why you are a slave. Rothschild's own you! End The FED!

    Great idea! I always said this whole "due process" and "rule of law" thing is wildly overrated :)! I think we should put people in jail in order to see what happens more often. After all, it's only these few people that get hurt, so should be, as you say, a "win-win situation".

    OK, this is getting ridiculous.. how is EURUSD now over 1.42?? (4/1/11)

    There's always barriers at nice round numbers. Normally it's due to large positions that SAFE and other friendly Chinese punters have themselves or got the dealer community into. I don't remember hearing this being the case at the moment with the 1.50 strike, but, then again, I never...

    curve flattening

    Yeah, sure, whatever (although this article is a bit misguided). In reference to the original post, I haven't seen any particular flattening of 10s30s recently.
