Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim

PS.  I am not Paul Harvey.  However, I am open to becoming a paid commentator, columnist, or blogger.

If you find anything I say to be helpful, please don’t hesitate to send me one of those tricked-out laptops and to tuck a few dollars into the envelope along with the thank you note.  Thank you.

DO ANY OF THE EUROCRATS HAVE A PLAN THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE PREDICTING GROWTH & EXPRESSING DISAPPOINTMENT?

Is exposing other nations taxpayers to risk going to cause interest rates on their own bonds to rise? Will investors want to invest?

If everyone wants a cash collateral deal, will they be using the cash collateral as part of the bailout fund?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
If Greece hangs on 2 the cash collateral, wouldn't they need a smaller loan & thus have 2 pay less interest. Or is the bailout no-interest?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Let me see. If Greece gives cash collateral for a loan, wouldn't that increase the difficulty of repaying the loan?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
IMF Opposes Cash Collateral deal between Greece & Finland. Other countries respond: Me too! Me too!
