And Here Is Today's Market Moving Soundbite Du Jour

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Update 2: In her own words - dispelling rumors of new instruments: "In view of the current difficulties, it’s important to emphasize that we have created the instruments of support in the euro zone, that Germany is ready to work with these instruments whenever that is necessary and that this is an expression of our firm desire to keep the euro area stable,”

Update: here is the counterrumor, just as expected courtesy of the summer and fall of 2011: Merkel willing to back use of EXISTING Euro-area instruments... Where Euro-Bonds just happen not to figure.

Just out from Bloomberg:

  • MERKEL SAYS GERMANY READY TO BACK USE OF EURO-AREA INSTRUMENTS

Ignore that it is unclear what instrument is mentioned (not Euro Bonds as Merkel made very clear 48 hours ago), she probably just is referring to the Redemption Pact, which she would of course be in favor of, as noted before, and where Europe funds its loan-loss exposure with gold. We look forward to the PIIGS agreeing to hand over their gold to Das Deutsche Pawn Shop. Also ignore that in the same speech she said:

  • MERKEL SAYS NO SINGLE RESPONSE WILL SOLVE THE CRISIS IN EURO
  • MERKEL SAYS WILL TAKE `FEW YEARS' TO RESOLVE EURO CRISIS
  • MERKEL SAYS PEOPLE `MUST BE PATIENT' ON EURO CRISIS

None of this matters: with an all time record number of EURUSD short, it is a one way panic out of the burning theater, just as we predicted on Sunday: the EURUSD is now well over 200 pips higher from our entry point, and half way to the 400-500 bps upside target.

I believe the instrument Ms. Merkel is refering to comes with batteries and is kept on the nightstand next to her bed.

You could fid Greece's gold in your bathroom, Portugal's gold in your smallest bedroom.

If this is the course Germany is going to follow, they will never be able to fill up the black hole they're chucking their dough in to.

Gold bitchez, wait until at 10am, when the Ben doesnt say anything and the algo is launched to break gold back to below $1,600, where it belongs!

I’m not looking for an absolute target. All I want is to be in the black and beat SGS’s inflation rate on a geometric basis 4 years hence following each purchase.

More nondescript BS to keep shit pumped up.

Merkel's movements are usually followed by wiping and a flush. Get that Greek guy you give her a few upside the head.

I could never be a politician.  To stand up there time and again saying basically the same thing hoping that enough will believe you to get back to debt consumption.

Adding new debt layers upon dead, bloated and outgassing debt layers is not going to work.  

I do not care how many fake pine trees you hang in the car, removing the corpse in the back seat is the only way to make it smell better.

The problem is that it works till it doesn't. And while it is working, people are happy (you like happy people) and you get elected. Everyone likes free stuff, and you have lots of free stuff, at least till it costs something (like your grandkid's future).

Threaten to pull the plug or change the channel while the kids are watching this cartoon and you risk it all.
