Draghi Sees Substantial Downside Risks
UPDATE: EURUSD at highs of day now 1.2790, sovereigns and corps/fins tightening back modestly
The ECB press conference has begun and immediately the headlines are flying and driving EUR weaker (ironically not helped by the dismal US macro data that just printed).

The banks that borrowed from ECB are not banks depositing into ECB....huh
That was indeed a very enlightening comment.
This is the very same line that caused me to blow coffee out my nose.
Non Standard my ass.......its standard now and then some...until it finally colapses....what a joke...
But does Draghi see rioting, bankruns, and contagion spreading aka reality?
Draghi says "I have no phucking clue what to do now and I am out of options except for lying"
*DRAGHI SAYS ECB WILL ACT AS AGENT FOR EFSF
He designed it at FSB,,,all by design!
Bullish for equities. Futures up 16 pts.
There is no market anymore. There is no price discovery.
Now its all hand-wringing waiting for news from the Politburo.
"A raven from King's Landing! Sell! Buy! Wait. They promise US it will all be OK after the music stops. Promise."
The system is now so murky and complex that the only "solution" is failure.
The only method to exist in this state is "inside" information, which only accelerates and enforces our contempt.
*DRAGHI SAYS EUROZONE PRETTY MUCH FUCKED.
Meanwhile in a small northern-european EU-country, economy news outlets push pro-euro propaganda headlines in cat-sized letters, "ECB's Draghi sees signs of eurozone stabilizing".
*DRAGHI SAYS EVERYTHING IN THE EUROZONE IS WONDERFUL. CHALLENGES OBSERVERS TO BELIEVE HIM RATHER THAN THEIR LYING EYES
OT:
"Simon (SPG) has Sears as a tenant in 137 of its 190 malls, while competitor General Growth Properties Inc. has Sears in 110 of its 167 malls, said Andrew Johns, an analyst at Green Street Advisors Inc. in Newport Beach, Calif."
Will this Sears news have any impact on SPG or GGP ?
I'm thinking this is bullish news in a reverso world kinda way.
Hmmm, CNBS headline is "DRAGHI SEEING TENTATIVE SIGNS OF STABILIZATION IN EUROZONE."
More fresh steaming Horseshit!
*DRAGHI SAYS CASH DOESN'T `SIMPLY STAY IN THE DEPOSIT' FACILITY
every single interaction of "assets" into "banks" results in fractional reserve license being invoked and said "asset" being infinitely multiplied.
the concept that QE is not taking place is /funny/ as QE takes place in such a system by its very nature.
i remember when i learned about fractional reserve banking and the fraction was supposedly 10%.
then i figured out that if you daisy chain (and rehypothecate, even) the "asset" the confetti paper of the system is meaningless. by its very definition it has no value.
i think you find that acknowledged in Modern Money Mechanics: "In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper, deposits merely book entries."
/lol/
“DRAGHI SAYS HILDEBRAND WAS `VERY, VERY GOOD' GOVERNOR”
I had to laugh at this opinion because it did not mention that he departed under the cloud of an insider trading scandal.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Jobless claims: Horrible
Dec retail sales: Disaster
Dec retail sales (ex-autos): Disaster (cubed)
Debt ceiling: Breached (again)
Market Futures: Green and climbing. Party on Garth...
Awww man....I'm all out of them little hopium rocks again. How'd that happen?
Take some zanax, thorazine and chase it down with a half rack of Bud ice and all is well.
Draghi Says These Are Not The Droids We're Looking For.
Apparently this "substantial downside risk" was for people invested in the Lollar. EUR to the moon!
Draghi Says, untill moral improves no watered down soup for you.
Easy solution to the Euromess: make Greece the Euro version of a big FEMA camp for all those protesting austerity or the NWO. All such "dissidents" can then be trained to service the tourist trade in every way imaginable.
So the guy with the inside scoop says there is 'substantial downside risk'....AND he wants us to buy the bonds?
oooooooo-kay
and the EUR/USD back up over 1.28!
