* * * Cue to Diesel-Boom, sitting in his desk, phone ringing: Ring Ring Ring * * *

Diesel-BOOM: "Hello.... Oh Hi Goldman, how are the tentacles hang.."

* * * Interrupted... screaming heard in earpiece * * *

Diesel-BOOM: "You want me to do what... You want me to RETRACT an on the record interview with two major publications... But...But..."

* * * Interrupted again... Long silence... listening intently.... Beads of sweat forming on forehead * * *

Diesel-BOOM: "Oh.... Dear Lord.... I see.... Ok Then.... Done."

* * * Click, fade to black * * *

 

And just in case the message was lost

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - - that's all."

He said what he said until they saw how the markets percieved it.  Then a few screaming phone calls later from several central banks it was decided that he did not actually say that and he needed to retract it.

Of course the media is only too happy to comply, as are the algo bots who look for any excuse to go risk-on again.

Even if he said it, he is soon going to be blackmailed. Some tax problem in his family, some mental illness associated to his grand-parents, a difficult childhood... All in all, he was not mentally well when he said it, and he needs a break. He will be offered a "leave of absence" by his masters soon enough.

Does not matter - algo's have control of futures again and will bring them positive.  You can see the violent turn and hold.  Eventually they will be done but it looks like yet another BTFD day.  It will not shift until funds decide to lighten up risk vs continuing to add risk.

One key to that will be a sell day (< -0.5%) that follows through the next day without a rescue.  We have not had one of those in over 4 months.

Amazing thing is actual bank runs would likely be viewed as positive by the markets based on the shit logic they use these days.  Bank run = banks need capital to back the gambling they do = Fed does QE^2 = market to new highs.

These aren't  "models and templates" you moron, they are supposed to be the EU's binding rules and regs.

So, just to be clear, EU citizens in all member countries now know:

      1. Their money is not safe:  

Part of the EU deposit-guarantee scheme now includes EU authorities seizing your deposits to avert a bank failure which would...cause deposit insurance to be paid out.  This particular scenario was not included in the 2010 press release announcing enhanced “consumer protection” in this area. 

The actual (adopted) proposal stated:  All banks throughout the EU would provide a uniform level of protection to depositors – whether citizens or small businesses.

       2. Unelected bureaucrats can implement capital controls contrary to what is explicitly stated in The EU's founding document  to wit:

 

Article 26, p.59

 

The internal market shall comprise an area without internal frontiers in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is ensured in accordance with the provisions of the Treaties.

 

 And p.71

 

Within the framework of the provisions set out in this Chapter, all restrictions on the movement of capital between Member States and between Member States and third countries shall be prohibited.

Retract immediately on the interview and everything you said and do it in public!

All the news worldwide is now talking about it; even those fucking bastards on Zero Hedge had immediately broken it down to atoms!
