Today I read some interesting information about Credit Default Swaps.

As this thread is only visited by intellectuals, I will assume you all know what CDF's are.

Now because lending institutions agreed to a 50% haircut against Greece debt, there was no default.!!!

No insurance would be paid .No CDF's.

 

It appears that MF Global holds Greek bonds , but thats beside the point.

 

US lending institutions hold 87% of all CDF's .

So it looks like the US has been manipulating the Greek fiasco.

Germany and France are small fry in this .

It looks like US banks could bear the brunt

More money to be printed.

The US dollar must fall

Germany is trying to impose to other EU countries it's own imperium. Sooner or later , people in the rest EU countries will resist on that . In this case it will be Germany that will go out of EU. Euro (and other currencies that the rest nations will bring back ) will go down, dollar will go up. This will give room to US to print money again to face it's own problems.The Deutsce Mark at the beginning, at least, it will go up and thus German products will become expensive.Germany will lose a big portion of the markets of ex EU markets.

livernik I agree with you that basically Germany has too much power now(who would've thought eh?). The power they have is being used in the wrong way. They are indeed effectively trying to impose their own rules on these countries where it's not gonna work. It's kinda like when a big corporation buys a smaller but successful competitor, then imposes all it's own rules and practises on it. Surprise, surprise the company then becomes unprofitable.

I keep harping on this because my impression is that most are not quite getting it – Germany has conquered Europe. They are running into the same kinds of problems keeping an empire (together) that all other empires (past, present, and future) have…

 

The U.S. has also been conquered – from within. Denial phase is still extreme, including right here on this forum… Big lies are the most effective lies…

Comparing the mess in Europe to the coming tragedy in the U.S. – The European issues will ultimately look like a pimple …on a full blown ebola victim…

“…imposes all it's own rules and practises on it. Surprise, surprise the company then becomes unprofitable.” :(

bobc,

:rofl:

 

Thanks for giving me some time on the ‘solution’… right now I prefer howling at the full moon…and from the looks of it, I’m not the only one lunating…

 

re “Where are we in the business cycle?”

That’s not really relevant at this point.

yes...is it the 3-5 year cycle or the 100-200 yr cycle

If we are just at the end of the biggest credit bubble in history that was ten years in the making culminating in a 25 yr equity bull mkt then we may have a long long way to fall.

Only historians will know later.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
