Watch Trichet's Last ECB Press Conference Live
Update: Trichet announces two fixed rate LTRO tender operations, one 12 month in October, and one 13 month in December, very much as expected. In other words, the ECB will repo even more crap than it has already.
Update 2: Trichet announces CBPP2 - a new €40 billion Covered Bond Purchase Program, i.e. a new €40 billion QE program as the ECB will purhcase covered bonds in primary and secondary markets.
A historic press conference is about to unfold, in which the current ECB president, in a state of complete denial about the imminent implosion of his continent, will mumble for 45 minutes one last time and attempt to preserve his "legacy" after which he will hand over the "printer" briefcase and secret codes to none other than Goldman's Mario Draghi. And Goldman, as is well known to Zero Hedge readers, is certainly not nearly as shy as ole' Tricky to print when needed. Expect some vague promises of more liquidity, possibly the reopening of a 1 or 2 year repo line in which the ECB will accept even more used banana peels and sexual prophylactics in exchange for euros, and an overall deflationary bias. It doesn't matter. It is too late. More importantly, today's "shot rules" are a shot of Jager every time the words "price stabeeleetee" are uttered. Trichet's full prepared remarks transcript can be found here.

Did they ever try to seduce you with a chambermaid?

Trichet will be remembered as one of the stingiest ECB chairmen ever. I will never forget the time when Trichet raised the ECB benchmark lending rate, sending euro bonds plummeting and hammering the balance sheets of many of my financial stocks with exposure to European debt. Trichet is a selfish pig, with no regard for those of us with buy-and-hold equity portfolios. My heart goes out to those patriotic European investors who suffered the same consequences with their Euro-stock and bond portfolios.
So, the ECB repos Euros for used banana peels and condoms (European Bank toxic assets, Greek bonds, ect.) and the US -as confirmed two days ago by Bernanke on TV- repos unlimited dollars for Euros? We should just skip all the repos and make used banana peels and condoms the currency.
always more lies, never the truth.

why does trichet call it LTRO?
Let,s call it for what it is: TROL!
I hate this priggish, complacent French bastard.

Mumbling is preferable at this stage in the game.
"price stabeeleetee"
It hasn't even started and I'm already tipsy from the smell...
Let me add quickly before I black-out, there was some weird tension going on here. Europe is heading back to tribalism while Trichet retires in Monte Carlo.
He brought us all market stability what more needs to be said?
Obummer-Style of being late!
Jager ready!
Let's get this party rollin'.

Bank of England Surprises Market With Large Expansion to Asset Purchase Plan; Pound Collapses
International Jonathan Granby, On Thursday October 6, 2011, 7:24 am EDT The decision to expand asset purchases made by the MPC was certainly expected but the timing and size of the action has caught many by surprise which has led to a sizeable Sterling sell-off intraday….
The Bank of England has moved to expand its asset purchase plan by 75 billion pounds to 275 billion pounds. An action which has defied expectations of a move of 50 billion pounds in coming months, few had suggested the central bank would act in October. The MPC voted to keep its interest rates on hold at 0.50%. While the action itself is not all that shocking since the market was broadly expecting the Bank of England to expand its asset purchase plan in coming months to support the floundering economy the size and timing of the action was certainly surprising. The shock factor of the size...cont

Glad you can't eaty gold or I'd be buying it by the mouthfull.
must it be shots of Jager? really?
Yah...but..will he tell the truth - finally...
Authorities are trying to determine if this was Timah, the Bernanke or Trichit or Blythe Masters doing her thing at work.
Or are they all the same person.
They deliver, and the MSM spend all their time polishing every turd.

Wow, already in the introduction a 'ze price stabeleteee'
*13* months LTRO fixed-interest tender. Huh?
There is only one CB and that is the FED --- these other entities/Central Banks will become obsolete. this guy has his Golden Parachute packed and is hitting the road
And the BBC and world media were 'SHOCKED' when Allesio said in the interview 'Goldman Sachs rules the world'?
Did he just say that 12 month QE was to start October and 13 month QE was to start December ?
"Covered bond" ?
Other phrase for QE ?
good riddance to just another maggot banker
I just shorted Deutsche Bank. I hope this fucker doesn't screw me up.
Euro Zone Inflation low, growth rate high, future is bright. I did a great job. Well thats it for me , retirement, see ya suckers on the golf course. hahahahahaha
Buaahahhahaha! WHAT DOES THIS FRENCH BANKER SMOKE?!!!
I'd rather go down on Lagarde after she'd done a spin class than listen to this idiot for 45 minutes.
Note to self:
Read comment, THEN sip coffee.

German commentary: Draghi is a hawk for ZE PRICE STABELETEEE --- o'rly? wahahahah.
Holy Crap!!...I don't have nearly enough Jager in my bar freezer.
"More importantly, today's "shot rules" are a shot of Jager every time the words "price stabeeleetee" are uttered."
This challenge scares me. Oh, what the hell, why should we even bother pacing ourselves? At 5 syllables, could probably do 3 shots per utterance.
These are the kind of rotten psychopats we tried to rid ourselves during the WW2... well the war was lost and now we, and our children and their children will pay the price.
Shorts better cover, no recession happening, earnings season starting and I expect more upside from here.
Obviously not a troll...
Love to see the IP trace on this one.
See, I told ya! Green Green Green!
"I hate this priggish, complacent French bastard"
Fyi he shouldn't be here right now. He was put in that position after a diktat by Chirac. Everyone in Europe knew he was a tool but they relinquished and "agreed" on Trichet provided he wouldn't be around for long (3 4 years). After that a competent person would replace Trichet. That guy was to be Wim Duisenberg alas he died prematurely in 2005. So Trichet glued his ass to his barstool... and in 2011 he's still here... prancing like a twin of Bernanke.
'Everyone in Europe knew he was a tool but they relinquished and "agreed" on Trichet provided he wouldn't be around for long (3 4 years).'
Being a tool is the job itself, the very essence. It doesn't matter whether it's Trichet, Draghi or Twiddy bird.
He has "price stability" again, how many times has he said these words during his speech ?
I had to quit the drinking game after he said price stability 5 times in a row in one minute. I was at 4 shots of vodka.
Interesting to see if we are selling this "news".
BOE expaaaanding QE + ECB donkaments = flushing crispy fiatscos down the shitter at record pace.
And there we have the leaked reason for the market ramp we have witnessed; the mere promise to ignore the problems and continue the print-fest.
Trichet is a criminal, who should be in prison for the short rest of his life.
Is this bullish?
Trichet has been regurgitating his krisis prevention model for years.

Good riddence.
Rally is weak, typical bear market activity.
Tuesday a third of stocks (2300) hit a new low.
They want to try for the falling 50-day MA at 1183 but will probably stall at 1160 or so, the top of the descending trade channel they started a month ago. That is if Mr. Bull doesn´t give up the ghost today.
Not QE Tyler.
Moneyprinting = QE
Moneyborrowing = NOT QE
I know it's a very boring thing to do, but you should spend more time studying Euro crap.
Open market bond purchasing: QE
spoken like a true shit_bag!
Jager for tyler, stat!
bong for slewie!
I got close to 10 "price stabliteeeez" now. Be thankful "financiale stabliteeee" is not in the game or you would be past chatting up the nearest fat chick and on the floor in a pool of your own lack of stabliteeeez. Non?
Hahahahahaaaaaaaa!
Hey Trichet, don't let the microphone hit you in the ass on the way out!
Four more "price stabiliteeez" in less than 10 seconds... LOL. I tip my hat to anyone still in this.
Well done! Thank you very much for professional templates and community edition sesli chat sesli sohbet
