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

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


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


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
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!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
If I sit around sharing personal opinions and idle conjectures based on factoids published in the news, can I be an expert too?

I have a new strategy for the EuroCrats. Next time you come up with a plan...read it out loud. Hear how it sounds. Then think it through!

EuroCrats New Plan. Non-Cash Collateral for Greek Bailout. Then what? If something goes wrong, you own buildings you can't sell or rent?

Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Slim Prediction: RealityTV 2012. RepoGov. EuroCrats try repossessing furniture at Greek Parliament. Tie in 2 Jersey Shore. Snooki in Greece.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: EuroCrats must have read my blog. They are not demanding cash collateral for loans. [Really?] Now they want non-cash assets. RME!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Meanwhile, manufacturing, the fuel of the economic engines, is down due to bleak outlook. I don't make this stuff up, folks. Read the WSJ:


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: Markets up because economy gets worse. Investors are optimistic that if economy gets worse, someone will jump in to make it better.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
When everyone around you feels the earthquake and you don't, does that mean you are too focused on what you're doing? Slim
