Reminds me of a friendly argument amongst male buddies as to which of us Angelina Jolie would sleep with. There were some pretty compelling argument made that day, but unfortunately the bitch wouldn't have any of us.

This is a classic funnie:

PORTUGAL'S BANKS MORE CAPITALIZED, MORE TRANSPARENT NOW: COSTA

Sounds like a precursor to a bank depositor tax to me.

soooo funny that tyler thinks this is the straw that will break the camel's back.  after printing trillions upon trillions in 5+ years to pretend we're not in a global depression, a bank in portugal is going to bring it all crashing down?  ROFL!!!

It's not Portugal per se, it's the domino factor. If the Portugal, or Greece, banking system crashes...meh! If they both crash, then Spain, then Italy...head for the hills cause we be screwed. Can't print enough to save em all.

Funniest part is we'll be flat by end of the day. Hope people are learning from this; shorting is putting your money into the furnace and sending this Beast higher.

Another example that shows NO ONE knows what the fuck is going on...nor understands the catastrophe that awaits. It is mathematically impossible to quantify the risk given the amount and types of leverage in the system

They know.  That's Taleb theme, the mathematical models do in fact work, but financial disruption has a much wider "fat tail" probability than the sell-side bs models allow for.

Why not just say you are bond market challenged in the understanding of global bond markets and how they are interconnected?

That way, you don't look like a complete dumbass, and maybe someone would help you to understand.

Now more than ever you simply have to do your own due diligence, and with a very fine toothed comb.

The talking heads are now talking out of their collective asses.

Of course we always knew they were, now, even their children wouldn't believe them.

"I'm not worried about it. I think we could actually rally back. There's a lot of people on the sidelines with cash, and cash is just burning a hole in peoples' pockets," said Jack Ablin, CIO of BMO Private Bank

So what I'm getting is that the transition from "everything-is-hunky-dory", to the financial asteriod hitting and obliterating the landscape, is 5 weeks.   

Is that right?

First post on ZH, been reading for a few years.

The eurocrisis isn't over, and can never be over until there is no Euro.

Or a quick OSI/fiscal union at 06:00 Monday morning if Germany win the World Cup in the hope that they will still be too pissed to notice.
