Domino #2, Ireland, Set To Topple?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The Irish-Bund spread is going nuts on reports that the ECB is bidding up sovereign debt once again, together with a WSJ report that the Stress Test was, as everyone with half a brain knew all too well, a blatant lie, and sovereign debt was misrepresented. Earlier, a report in the FT Deutschland suggested that the bailout of Anglo Irish alone, (not to mention AIB and Irish Nationwide) would be sufficient to threaten the country's solvency. Things domestically are no better, after a poll in the Sunday Independent found that 74% of respondents believed the country would default, and preceded earlier news that Irish consumer confidence plunged from 66.2 to 61.4. The IMF's recent expansion and creation of credit facilities is now roundly seen as having focused on Ireland, but many now believe that it may be too late and a Greek-type rescue is in the works as the second domino is about to topple. Hopefully the Irish will figure out the Ambrose Evans-Pritchard was right all along, and that the time to riot is now if they hope to get the same preferential treatment by the ECB/EU/IMF as was afforded to Greece... Because we all know what the endgame is now.

In the meantime, the 10YR continues to go nuts. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=GIGB10YR:IND

The rate is already not sustainable. Government revenues are less flexible than the market.

not too many Americans even know that we the United States are bailing them out via the IMF. That is what I find disturbing when I solicit the ignorant masses.....

The Irish government said all is well. So we just need to believe that.

The ECB has been banging its people over their stress tests like a sreendoor in a tornado. Back and forth, back and forth.

just default and be damned with it

AS Peter Schiff says the DEpression is the cure not the disease.

Pity the governmnet doesn't listen to Hendry, Schiff and Bill Bonner. Instead they listen to twats like Krugman.

Let them default and get this over with

They would probably prefer to go the Icelandic route if they were not so close to England.

From the looks of eur/chf, money is flowing like a river out of euro banks, perhaps a raging river into Swiss accounts. I love the smell of euro bailouts in the morning....

You can't short either.

Anglo Irish has been nationalised.

INBS is a mutual (not quoted).

The trade is fiat dollars for gold & silver.  You had to ask?

Precisely because peons have no other viable alternatives.

It would be great if Tyler included instructions for Bloomberg equipped readers to recreate the charts he posts.  Maybe he doesn't wish to dilute the intellectual capital - but I, for one, would greatly appreciate the information.
