Markets are up.

Big mystery, the headlines are downright ugly..

Soros on the euro and American crisis

At loggerheads with Merkel..

It’s quite simple, as long as the political will is lacking the crisis will inexorably move closer..

Speculators hell bent on bringing the world down..

The ECB forcing Berlusconi to become a Thatcher, freeing the Italian economy in exchange for ECB bond purchases..

In principle at least. But do European leaders have the balls??

Italian bond rates, after a brief, promising dip during Trichet’s speech, are back up and approaching dangerous levels..

Italy..

Needs to be sorted fast..

Horrific..
