LONDON -(Dow Jones)- European officials are still debating the size of the bailout fund for the euro zone and reports that an agreement has been reached to leverage it to EUR2 trillion are "totally wrong," an official familiar with the negotiations said.

European officials are working toward resolving the euro zone crisis and will be meeting over the weekend. A report in the Guardian newspaper suggested the EUR440 billion European Financial Stability Facility could be levered up to increase its firepower and the euro surged but EU officials have dismissed the report.

"Leveraging the EFSF is still being debated," a person with direct knowledge of the discussions said. "We may have a decision on the size by the summit or just a statement that firepower must be increased. But there no talk about an amount around EUR2 trillion. Such reports of an agreement between France and Germany are totally wrong."

UPDATE: EU Source: No EFSF Deal Til Friday, EUR2 Trillion Number 'Simplistic'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

I think a bit more than most think

 

From wiki

 


Long scale is the English translation of the French term échelle longue. It refers to a system of large-number names in which every new term greater than millionis 1,000,000 times the previous term: billion means a million millions (1012), trillion means a million billions (1018), and so on.[1][2]
Short scale is the English translation of the French term échelle courte. It refers to a system of large-number names in which every new term greater than million is 1,000 times the previous term: billion means a thousand millions (109), trillion means a thousand billions (1012), and so on.[1][2]

The current global economic PONZI scam (born of fractional reserve banking fraud), which now depends heavily on rumor & innuendo from media "sources" to perpetuate its very day-to-day existence, is currently at one of the historical, watershed 'make it' or 'break it' moment in time (to those of us with even basic arithmetic skills and/or common sense, I am confident that we realize which ending we're certain to see):

There were NEVER two paths, only ONE- the "break it" one.  Ponzis cannot "correct," lest they wouldn't be Ponzis.

It's like the picture.  Note how there's NO food around.  What else is there to eat?  Pretty logical outcome.  It's one that you could apply the the entire grow-or-die paradigm that we've been operating under for, well, a, thousands of years.

This is exactly right. The Financial Times (Alphaville) even did an article about it, looking at news release timings and market performance that day, and, of course, decided to call it the "FT Effect". Though, to be fair, most of the rumors have been caused by them.

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2011/10/12/700706/is-there-such-a-thing-...

Every single time it's some "anonymous" source related to an official source or simply some no-name official who has nothing to do with anything. But, of course, the market does not care. Quite a few people think its algos trading off the back of sentiment changes on the news wires or adding to any volume in that direction IF the sentiment news change is there.

What's even stranger is that the market keeps reacting off stories in Anglo news sources who have basically no stake in Eurozone discussions but are high profile, mainly due to English language dominance.

Whereas you can expect if anything concrete that changed anything at all were announced, it would at minimum be quoting high profile named officials and be broadcast from the rooftops to German and French newswires.

looks like they kicked the can down the road again.  It doens't solve the imbalances between the North-South.  It sets up a financial ticking timebomb, since the South will take decades before they are as competitive as the North. Incurring debts, or falling into frequent recession along the way.  The ECB interest rate policy cannot find an equilibria for long run growth for  the South-North duality.

 

The South must leave, or Germany must leave.  Either/Or.

 

In either case the cds wolfpack will likely head to Japan.

 

Whenever there is excessive imbalances, there will always be excessive debtor/debt. So the wolfpack will always smell blood.  Sovereigns are  playing musical chair until the EFSF financial bomb explodes.

"the wind blows, the grass grows, and the sky is blue ( or gray or wihite or lavender, crimson or .... welll you've seen its best im sure. )"

The worlds money system is changing from one of "credit" to one of "stuff".  Yes the credit of the thing is falling as credit falls, but that stuff still exists and will have to be acknolaged.

Like a game of cards and all you ever use are chips. Sooner or later you will close your hand and cash those chips in for stuff. That time is comming.

So this side of the looking glass is seeing the small players cashing out and the big suits looking for players at there table.

Once they see that only they remain they to will close there hands and leave.

Price discovery comes in 4 years.

Thank you for playing your hat and coat sir.

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been
You've been in the pipeline
Filling in time
Provided with toys and scouting for boys
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn't like school
And you know you're nobody's fool
So welcome to the machine

Welcome my son
Welcome to the machine
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean gituar
He always ate in the Steak Bar
He loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the Machine

The news today: every bank fudging numbers and raping Americans, the one PD reporting results without massive fudge factor had a massive Goldman loss, IBM top line missed big time and you can only squeeze so much out of margins, Crox is telling you discretionary spending coming to crawl, credit card payments inch up in deliquency, the U.S. dollar HIGHER most the day against EUR only to barely end up down against it......

This all good for a 2+% move higher! Just WOW. What total bullshit.

Wait! I was in a meeting. So the last post said they reached an agreement and were going to leverage the EFSF to 2 Trillion and this post said that was not true. Is that why the Market closed almost 200 points higher!

Geez, Good thing I was out of the market! So rumors and refuting of said rumors happen within minutes of each other...geez.

    Sarkozy's psy ops in full swing. Keep the embers burning and the false flags flying to the end. They don't want the MARKET to know the final details until the last minute. A bottle of champagne is fine for RM. Not a bleeding run on the EURUSD spread. So they keep the tenter hooks on the FX indices; but let WS spin up on the euphoria as long as the sweet smell of EFSF leverage doesn't go sour.

    The wave isn't in yet. It's coming though. You see, when the late Princess died it took a few days and then folk caught the wave and rode it. It's happening with european democracy or lack of. It's catching on fast and more and more folk are going to want to ride it. So forget about euro bailouts and the like. It ain't gonna happen to any degree before a fundemental change in how our politicians and bankers work for us. I had to change some hard Sterling to Euros today for a trip and I knew it would probably be the last time.

     From a recent FOFOA piece - "the ECB, on the other hand, is not mandated to assist the economy like the Fed is. In fact, FOA wrote back in 2000:"

    "Basically, this is the direction the Euro group is taking us. This concept was born with little regard for the economic health of Europe. In the future, any countries money or economy can totally fail and the world currency operation will continue. What is being built is a new currency system, built on a world market price for gold."

    The euro priests have a higher function me thinks - the nation states were their creation and now these playthings bore them.

    George Soros spoke recently on CNBC - he stated that Euro banks capital exports dwarfed American & Japanese banks.

    I think since the 90s(1992) and the absurd Euro fiscal rules the sovergin has become tiny relative to credit & not the false GDP metric.

    Ajay Chopra (IMF) speaking in Ireland talked of the Euro banks exporting credit / capital and reimported these bets on now tiny dwarf sovergins.

    Who & what financed the creation of 2 Chinese Coal plants a week ? -- most of this stuff is in he Euro banks balance sheets me thinks.

    We got interest income & cheap goods but we exported our core capital.

    They have shitted in their nest because they feel they have outgrown them. 

    Most of the worlds turmoil is centered on the euro creation - its the heart of darkness.

    Since Maastricht continental Europes core capital has collapsed in my opinion - even Germany is not as strong as it appears - I would prefer to live in a slight defecit country when / if the euro debt bubble goes down - see France , rather then Mercantile Germany.

    When /  if their exports collapse their winter gas bills will skyrocket relative to wage deflation.

    Germany has been hollowed out - it just produces designer objects for finance types & Chinese bosses now.

    Their only hope is Irish stupidity - the Greeks are smart enough to buy sovergins.

    It's funny no wonder how sophisticated and intricate a scam or fraud is, when it begins to unravel they all go back to the same ol cowardly playbook....conflicting stories, lies, avoidance, buying time, dithering waiting, websites crashing, etc etc

    Let the entire rotten edifice fall already so that we can all start to rebuild

    Fuck off with trying to maintain the stays quo and current pecking order....its over....if you're broke you're broke no bailout and move out of the way for the new masters to take over
