Europe Goes Full Bailout Retard: EFSF Rescue Capital To Be Officially Double-Counted
Europe has officially entered the Tropic Thunder zone, where one, forget one thousand , monkeys armed with one simple solar-powered calculator, can come up with a better plan than (JP Morgan-advised) Europe. Because as we pointed out on Thursday, "nothing changes the fact that with €100 billion set aside for bank recaps, a woefully low number and one which will do nothing to assure investors that banks have sufficient capital, there is still not enough cash to "guarantee" all future issuance" - well it appears that Europe finally did the math which led us to conclude that the EFSF is DOA. So what is Europe's solution? Why double counting aid already pledged of course: "EU bank plan may include aid already pledged to bailout states-sources." Uh, what? "A drive to lift bank capital across Europe by up to 110 billion euros ($153 billion) is expected to include the roughly 46 billion euros already pledged to Ireland, Greece and Portugal to help their lenders, EU sources told Reuters....Another official confirmed the intention to count money already earmarked for banks in Ireland, Greece and Portugal in any recapitalisation plan. "The problem with shock and awe numbers is that it implies that the money is there," said one official, reflecting on ministers' reluctance to set public goals for recapitalisation. "But governments don't have the money."... Just as was repeated here over and over and over and over... And yes, that red stuff shooting out of the place where your head was a few second ago, is blood. It is now Europe's official "plan" (for at least the next 2-3 hours) to use mystical, magical money, which is somehow double-counted to bail out both a bank and a country at the same time...
Ugh:
If over a third of the EU's bank recapitalisation drive, which investors hoped would inject more than 100 billion euros of fresh money, is accounted for under old bailout programmes markets are likely to react with disappointment.
It would effectively shrink the overall package, designed to protect EU banks from the fallout of a Greek default and ease their borrowing difficulties amid a creeping credit freeze, from more than 100 billion euros to something around 60 billion.
It would also rest the burden for EU bank recapitalisation in large part on Spain, Italy and France, which one official said together accounted for roughly 45 percent of the overall shortfall found in recent checks of EU banks by supervisors.
The matter is due to be discussed in the run-up to Wednesday's second summit of European leaders and countries may yet change tack to increase the planned boost for banks.
...
Well, it's official: the lunatics have taken over the Titanic.

You are correct, it does not compute - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieuBkWHfCuc
So the plan is to leverage up double-counted non-existent guarantee money to stave off a solvency, err ... liquidity problem?
Brilliant
This plan is kind of like saying "Since there are blank checks in my check book, there must be money in my account to spend!" Wow, they must think the general EURO population are complete idiots, was this one of Timmy's ideas?
You ever think they want to half ass it and let it liquidate ?

In all fairness, the Europeans are no different from the Yanks with respect to either beingst awares of or comprehending the implications of what seems to be well and truly happening.
Most are similarly captives of their own MSM. No difference.
The major difference between the thems and usses is that we denzins of ZH-land Like This Kind of News and Topics. We Thrive upon Them. We believe Them to be Important. The rest of the world, whether here or there or anywhere, call them "normies" as we're the exceptions to the rule, either don't know nor really give 2 shits.
It's us versus them normies fearless leaders, trying to figure out how to adapt, to survive....
Like SD mentions... they don't care. J
ust as we know ours don't care.
It only works until the first check bounces.
In theory Yes, but in fact the bank will cash multiple bad checks under the premise if it pays the funds out it can then go back to the issuer and demand the currency along with Non-Sufficient Funds and Overdraft fees. They will generally go for about 10 to 15 bad checks before they cut them off. Then they begin adding the daily account in overdraft status fees that compound the problem and increasing the amount owed. The whole time actually thinking they will really get the money from those who obviously don't have it! Hooray for paper they say until they don't get paid! Then it's Hey Taxpayer can you help me out again!!!
Seriously doesnt anybody get it. The Markets are exactly as retarded as they have to be to buy on this shit. Merkozy knows this, they dont care about non existing Problems, this is all a Market Show.
You know... This is a great idea. I think I shall inform my bank that I am going to double count all the money I have too. They should adjust their accounting accordingly.

I just sent the bank an email. I'll refresh every minute waiting for a response.
I just bought a small solar panel farm and part of a forest. It was easy. I'm going shopping for an electric tractor now.
I hope your +3 (and growing obviously) are sarcasm.
Sarcasm; that I can believe in ... but your delivery sir ... dry, very dry.

NO we all just ought to tell these Governments that are considering this that also OUR TAXES we PAID ARE DOUBLED.
That ought to fix the problem. We get almost as much as we paid in as a "refund".
GREAT!!!!
Actually, funny you should mention that ... the government is on top if it!
Oh, except double means half, but its glass half empty, glass half full right?
Surely you on the side of the ... government.

I can see the problem with Europe's plan: they aren't going big enough!
Why stop at double-counting? Why not triple-counting?
Why not counting the money over and over again until you come up with whatever number the market wants?
You guys just don't think big enough!
But, but, if you're counting a folded wad of notes you take out of your jeans' pocket, front-to-back, you only double your money!
OR, if you flip the wad inside-out, you can have 4 times the money!
Yeah! Yeah! That's the ticket!
Your're right bernorange...I just double counted all my assets and it turns out I'm pretty well off...I plan on recounting tommorow and becoming rich!!!
LMAO, I tried it on Friday, the didn't think it was funny. I decided to leave the bank before the cops showed up.
Seriously, why is this so surprising? The US has done things just as stupid ever since the FED came into existence.
You say that almost like you expect there to be a problem.
I promise you, the market will love it.
And here we are:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15426510
Markets up. Doesn't matter if it'll work, the can has as you say met foot. The problems are now someone elses problems.
Two girls, one cup.
"Diineelaaaaaaand!!!"
Sure it does. The banks ARE the country. Who runs things, again? Who bails out whom? Wouldn't you say those who wind up with all the money - printed or taken by force, are those in power? So if the banks are fine, so are the countries, according to the banks anyway, and what other opinion matters in fact?
Even Simple Jack knoews you never go full retard!
You mean ultra FUCKTARD?
Postponing the inevitable and ultimately magnifying the disaster -- way to wind up the great unwind!
FUCKTARDS ALL ABOARD!
I was gonna say... Not sure full retard's the floor.
might as well triple, no wait, quadriple, no wait x1000000000000000000 count it
bail out fund > 9000 TRILLION
we are saved
Exactly what I was suggesting.
NOW you are thinking like a politician!
Yeah ... but then they realize their hooker-and-blow cost 1000000000000000 ... then they are sad ...
Oh, and their constituents burn them at a pyre, mostly because they are hungry. Sort of like a redneck pig roast ... 'cept their ain't no road kill ... I 'suppose we could call it budget kill ...
Don't mean to be eatin' people ya'll, just callin' out the pol's and the damage they be doin' to their constituents. Workin' folks gotta' eat, ya' know ...

Full Retard is what the world owners have been doing forever. This is people figuring out they are just here to work at the hotel. And the end of mints on the pillows or clean sheets or couches without piss on them.
Like i always say, if you are going to go retard, go FULL RETARD, don't hold back.
Alhough, might want to keep that amongst the adults, as my six year old suggested that to his first
grade teacher the other day, which resulted in a veritable shitstorm when i picked him up from school.
My response was uncontrollable laughter.. Of course.
I think is getting increasing clear that just shooting the FUCKTARDS will save the entire world a helluva lot of money. I mean this is getting downright fucking stupid. IF the markets go up on this again, then it is time to really in real life just killing these fucking useless greedy corrupt pricks.
Sadly, it will be a historic starvation.
Nations with significant military resources (i.e. nukes) will have a small minor population that is "spared" (in exchange for securing of said weapons), but by and large, in 10 years I expect a dramatically smaller global population. Even if nukes are unsecured, the likelihood of a a rogue getting a long range delivery system is small. I genuinely expect to see entire regions starved out of existence across the globe.
If you are planning to breathe air in 10 years, you are about to live through the most brutal human situation in the history of our species.
I don't want to be this negative, I just don't see another "out" with odds worth a shit.

Full Fucktard is much more polite and appropriate than retard. thank you
It's like somebody dying, they are clinging to every second of live when they know that it's going to happen. They know that the EU will be defunct and the Euro also, but they are afraid because it will change the power of europe.
Stupid is as stupid does :p
Edit: spelin
Whenever i think you couldn't do anything more stupid than this, you pull something like to me....
I LOVE IT! iT'S GREAT!
I like this one from Dumb and Dumber better:
Harry: Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!
I do not think that the math that they use means what they think that it means.
Politicians are so used to double counting money they think that's how things are supposed to work.
So much depends on what the meaning of "is" is. Odervice, ve are zimplly filling our depends;)
It was that one that i meanth :)
It's a classic, and i love it :)
This one from Dummer has relevance to the coming US meltdown:
Loyd (asking why Harry felt safe risking his life wearing a bullet-proof vest): "What if they shot you in the face?"
Harry (to the Feds): "Yeah, what if they shot me in the face?"
Feds: "That was a risk we were willing to take."
"Hey Ben, What if overseas Treasury holders started dumping their bonds?"...

It's nice watching history. What was that called. Operaton steal enough to get us to 2000.
EUR/USD has reversed and is now higher.
It takes a couple hours for the market to digest triple upside down reverse psychology
Ah....Bob, the HFT's never wake up. And the market isn't a market. You can't start from a false paradigm.
Of course the EUR/USD is higher. Perhaps the market has become the ultimate discounting machine and is factoring in LSAP knowing full well the USA won't allow the status-quo to implode just yet...
And the market would be right. Problem is, how is the world does Ben do LSAP while assets across the spectrum are already melting-up and all appears well in America (Just read Robotraders post or look around you, Americans are living large right now as every football stadium nearly sold out this weekend--College and Pro, while the world series in lighting up the American Spirit).
The one good thing: there's going to be some serious light at the end of the tunnel by the time this week is over.
the ONLY liquidity is USD from the Fed...desperate Euro banks get it via swaps, sell USD buy Euro. Euro goes up...hey, confidence!
When you hear, repeatedly, that markets are broken...pay attention. Broken markets send out false signals...
Until markets re-assert themselves.
That light is one big freakin train headed this way. You better turn and run like the dickens.
They love it. You knew they would, you just knew it.
EUR/USD to 1.45 during the "Ode to Joy" that accompanies the final glorious Europe bailout "final solution" on Wednesday. LOL.
HAHA!!!
We can all do this with our taxes right?
Uh..already paid that last year.
wait til CNBS tells stocks that they can lever up the double counted money! off to the races
They miss the days where they could just say they were making plans. This whole having to create details for plans is a real pain.
just pull the pug already...
Smart people are leaving europe by the droves.
Full scale war about to break out.
yep.
smart people are leaving europe to go to Ws to join/watch the fun. Full scale war about to break out.
lol...going where? Tunisia?
I heard Greeks were leaving en masse to Canada and Australia. I think it was on NPR. The Canadian office in charge of VISAS were so bogged down with correspondence, they were trying to push the load onto the Canadian consulate/embassy in Greece.
Arch-Dukes must be really shitting in their huggies.
We've got no air-dropped nukes. No aircraft carriers. Tired out infantry / armoured divisions. No cash. Fat and lazy youth unsuitable for drafting or any type of work. We could be shafted. Make that, ARE shafted.
God Save the Queen
I'm Bullish, going long btw
Yep. It's gonna be trenches, wire and machine guns all the way baby. Just like the good old days. Long the gas, here we go!
So THAT'S why they trained us combat engineers to still breach wire with bangalores....
And here I thought "That's SO, like WWIish...."
Britz will figure out a way when pressed. Grunts will get a spot-o' rest and be good to go. - Ned
Umm...the German army is "unionized". Not sure about this war thingie.
Ahmeexnal
Smart people are leaving europe by the droves.
Pray tell where are they going???...................
Also, who is going to war with who over there?.
You versus You
SSDD
It's the show, baby!
hey! let's go to canada! their real estate never goes down! if ya'll knows where canada is at!
Switzerland will remain neutral in this war (as in the previous ones). Many will line up trying to cross into CH. Switzerland will once again be a safe haven and so will it's currency.
Many have been going to LatAm, Africa, India and SE Asia. They believe their euros will last longer there. That will be true, until the euro hyperinflates. Then they'll be left holding a bagfull of shit. At least they'll survive.
> > Smart people are leaving europe by the droves.
Yeah, that's right, swarms of peops fleeing to free-market fully-deregulated Somalia, wide-open Siberia, open-society Asia, politically stable America-Sud, and good ole' rootin'-tootin' aint-habeas-no-darn-corpus U SS of Amen.
i'm in Europe awaiting the carnage ...be assured the place is huge, the open spaces near empty and the only rioting is going to be in built-up urban areas (hopefully 100% targeting bankers and Govt buildings)
another 20% off rental prices are more than welcome.. the prices in Marbella, Cannes and London are still sky high ...there won't be any war either, we've enough going on in Arabia and Asia to bankrupt our Defence Departments already
Bring on Hell... the cleansing of the rotten from the system is very welcome
That was unexpected. WHAAAAAT!?
This should be good for a 40 handle drop in the S$P! Collapse, bitchez!
Should
Exactly. Funny thing about collapses, first reality must be accepted. Until then, we can go much higher. Think about it this way, the Greek one year bond is now yielding 160%. It simply must be true, right, otherwise it would be listed right there in black and white as one of my investment options. One thing is for sure, we are all about to get a lot "richer".
1 year greek bond 183%
BOFA predicting another US downgrade within weeks.
http://www.businessinsider.com/huge-prediction-from-bofa-another-us-debt...
In an analyst note, Bofa/ML Ethan S. Harris drops a bit of a bombshell prediction:
We expect a moderate slowdown in the beginning of next year, as two small policy shocks—another debt downgrade and fiscal tightening—hit the economy. The “not-so-super” Deficit Commission is very unlikely to come up with a credible deficit-reduction plan. The committee is more divided than the overall Congress. Since the fall-back plan is sharp cuts in discretionary spending, the whole point of the Committee is to put taxes and entitlements on the table. However, all the Republican members have signed the Norquist “no taxes” pledge and with taxes off the table it is hard to imagine the liberal Democrats on the Committee agreeing to significant entitlement cuts. The credit rating agencies have strongly suggested that further rating cuts are likely if Congress does not come up with a credible long-run plan. Hence, we expect at least one credit downgrade in late November or early December when the super Committee crashes.
Let me know when the predict their own collapses - yawn.
There is nothing else to say. Let the chips fall.
Exactly. They can't even put a decent spin on it.
Unbelievable.
Yeah, and the € has appreciated 10% against gold in the last month.
Disaster for exports ;)

Just as the stock market can remain irrational longer than a rational investor can remain solvent, the EU sovereigns can remain irrational, even reaching peaks of undreamed of insanity, longer than taxpayers can remain solvent.
The Lone Ranger asks, "What do we do now Kamesabbe"?
Tonto replies: "What is this 'we shit' white man?"
Wasn't it Tonto that called the Lone Ranger "Kemosabe?"
That was as told by one of the EU finance ministers.
Watcha think, Knukles? Surely, one more wrapping of shitty shit and some creative accounting are worth a AAA from some ratings idiot on Mars? No?
Ah, Kaiser...
We have essentially entered upon/into a new dimension of reality.
It sort of works as such.
One the one hand we have some shit that we'd dearly love to be rid of.
On the other hand, 4 fingers and an oppositional thumb.
Which presents a problem as nobody else is volunteering their very own hand(s) to help us out of our very own shit.
Which is shitty.
Meaning, the person with the shit on their one hand has to use their other hand to remove said shit from first hand.
Now, the quandry only increases, for should said bugger decide to remove said shit with other unshitty hand, then said bugger winds up with shit on both hands, being repackaged essentially into a shit2d structure of shit or as some folks refer to it as really shitty shit.
Which can be by some held to be a worse circumstance than shit on only one hand, yet by other to be superior for said bugger seems to now be in posession of More Shit than Otherwise Originally Observed.
(So if you want a lot of shit, count it twice.)
Now, that being said, we can see the entire benefit of counting the same shit twice, hence said shit becoming truly shitty shit. For initially it set upon only one hand and now upon two.
Thus, for those in search of a remedy to said quandry, double counting the shit serves no particular purpose other than making like one has more shit than one actually does whilst pretending that shit is good (hence relying fully upon the axionmtic priciple of if a little shit is good, then more shit is better) and assuming that everybody else views thwe whole pile of expanded and double counted SHIT2 as good, then fuck it, problem solved.
Assuming that said holder of excess shit can convince the rest of the world (ratings agencies being the first stop) that neither their shit nor their shitty shit smells, which is the job of the Investment Banker.
Who will in turn charge obscene amounts of real money to pedal shitty shit to evey unsuspecting person in the world.
Which is really shitty.
And I need not remind everybody that said ratings agencies work in the jurisdiction of said shit and shit2 holders, are subject to all sorts of regulations, tax regiemes, approvals, permits, recognitions, and the like which means that the raters of shit (Like that's good shit, man) need to be on the good side of to keep rating new shit as it gets repackaged into shit2'ds. And they get paid Lots Of Real Money by said shit holders to rate said shit in a hughly attractive manner. In which effort the Investment Banker shall indeed aide and abet.
I'm starting to understand, which scares the crap out of me;)
I think it was funnier when Tonto replied, "What you mean "we"?
this is like finding out that janet napolitano has a twin sister! yuuuuuuck!!!!!!!
And they invite Janet Reno over to triple-team you.
Really. I just puked.
Don't forget Elena Kagan and her Kegel exercises.

anyone not fully positioned for this move coming lower, has a pefect setup here .. imho. Its going to blow like Vesuvius.
ZH is the only site covering the actual details of what's happening with the Euro Zone disaster. All of the other major business and economics sites are glossing over the actual details with shit like "EU continues work on deal" or "EU reported close deal". Thanks for the coverage.
Excatly Navy, the way to play it is read ZH to prepare for the bloobath, but read the MSM to make serious fiat money in the short term that can be converted to better, ahem, alternatives. ZH is way ahead of the plebs, keep that in mind from a tactical allocation perspective.
You got it Belarus. One might say (and some do) that being right too soon is the same as being wrong. But if you're always predictive, that's not wrong at all.
Spot on. I was right last week, & got stopped out.
"the lunatics have taken over the Titanic" and have nailed their, and our, foreskins to the mast.
what do I care? My foreskin was removed right after I was born. Let them nail it to the mast if it makes them happy.
mine was made into a wallet! rub it and it grows!
So you're the one from JPMorgan advising this group of lunatics!
JPM Advisor: OK now here's how wer're gonna do this. We all get in a circle and start wanking. And then when we get close to the money.... WTF, Angie, what do you mean you can't do this! Fuck!
That means this circle jerk is not gonna work!
Doomed. Doomed I say....
Fuck. Go hire Goldman...
Dammit knukles, I was all set for the happy ending.
Wasn't the Titanic a coal burning steam ship? Why would it have a mast?
I think its because every "real captain" has to have a mast.
He runs things up and down it willy nilly...sometimes dangerous things to himself & those around him...which draws everyones attention to it...they oooh & ahhh over it sometimes...its not important that the mast serves any purpose except to the captain...just so long as its there when he needs it ;-)
Your larger point is well taken by me, the ship is going down, with all hands on dick...lol.

Simple Jack ma ma ma must g g g go buy treasuries.
won't Euro Banks have to liquidate their US Treasury holdings if they're scrambling for cash?
Nah, they'll just loan them, like gold, to the Fed for BennieBux to "stabilise" everything.
That way, EVERYBODY gets to double up on their books. Who cares about physical bonds anymore. Problem solved.
What stopped them from triple counting? Could they not have counted Greek debt zero times?
Thats the 'plan' for the AM.
By tomorrow evening it will quantum of solace counting.
Having previously worked in government budgeting - this is really the best they can do.
Silver over here sells at 38% over spot :)
Just saying :)
Everybody seems to believe in a happy ending
I can get it for 2-3% above spot.
I'll sell it to you for 32% over spot. What's your e-mail?
I pay it at 1.5$ over spot in the us, but most people over here like to pay taxes on their silver and pay that much over spot :)
Idiots....
Me no pay taxes on silver bitchez!
Whoehahahahaha!
I sure do hope no tax collectors visit this site and do ip checks .... :)
No kidding...capital gains on PMs are 28%
Don't let uncle sam catch you.
protip- practice discretion while talking about tax evasion...like not mentioning it on public comment boards.
especially with douchebags like you lurking about, who would throw his own mother under the bus for a buck.
Take your anti-depressants, Jesus. You're always so sensitive and melancholy.
Put on a romantic comedy and put your feet up before you give yourself a stroke.
That is a popular, almost ubiquitous, piece of misinformation, but it is still misinformation.
In fact, the capital gains taxes on precious metals profits in the USA is ONLY 28% for those in the upper tax brackets, whose ordinary income is already taxed at 28%; for those in lower tax brackets, for example a retiree making only $30,000 in pension and Social Security income (along with their PM profits), those gains are only taxed at 15%.
Please stop repeating this incorrect statement regarding PM capital gains taxes.

Wait,... maybe Silvio with his latin charm???
Do you f* realize how many people actually lose money listen and following this doom and gloom BS? I remember: "I enjoy my FAZ everyday" where all those guys now? I short several times this current huge uptrend and lose every time. This could be not only EZ resolution effect.. Something else is pushing this Markets higher.. ZH still the #1 "sell the bottom, buy the tops".. So you are saying Market will tank tomorrow? Right? Watch 1250 on S&P and f*k EZ.. They will flood EZ with fresh printed EUROS.. And DJ will hit 20k by end of 2012. Gold? Should start running up soon too..
Gee, maybe you just really suck at trading.....
Clean-up in aisle 3- shoo, shoo.
Yeah, please shut up, Entire ZH creep board was shoring
Markets on all time low, Now start your BS observations
after the Fact.. I remember when ZH calls S&P next stop
800, and where it is now? f* off, clowns.
i think you need a time-out.
Or a simple stop loss...lol.
ProTrade - don't you think the S&P would look better at 800 than 1,100 given the shit-state of the US economy and Europe?
..who are the arse-clowns around here, the Wall Streeters still rolling in bonuses from insolvent insanely over-leveraged banks or the ZH'ers chewing the fat on the world melting down in debt?
looks like the plug has (finally!) been pulled in Europe and it'll bring this ear of credit LaLa Land to a grizly end sooner than you can wise up, swallow your delusional confidence and sell your tanking longs... join Buffet as toast
Yeah, ProTrade might be an inverse screen name. You gotta add your judgement if any you know. Right too soon is wrong. This just tells you what's coming, it's not a moment by moment "how to trade this now" kinda thing. That happens too fast for anyone to get it out there and you to act on it timely - you have to be ready (info from here) and catch the setup when it's time to spring...duh.
Ironic name their ProTrade: Perhaps you should heed the wise words of Will Rogers:
If you find yourself in a hole, stop diggingJust cause you went full retard shortin' the shit out of the market and lost your ass is no reason to disparage ZH.
Advice is like toliet paper, it behooves the user to be wary about where they use it, as sometimes things can fall apart just when you apply it, whether it be advice or toliet paper.
The Germans already said no to ECB bond buys, and Trichet opposed them, too.
I don't think you understand the difference between widespread deaths and trading stocks. They aren't the same thing.
How are they going to print Euros when the germans have said no more? No more increases in bailout money,not even leverage, backed up by their courts. Why would you trade based on free forum posts? Do the analysis and take your position .. but get the facts and the politics right first.
