Weekly 3LB Update 6/29/12
very powerful snap back rally.
felt like a combination "end of quarter" combined with a good short covering headline out of euro land...
that was a nice squeeze across the board.
Spain/Italy tomorrow....zzzzzz.
Hope Italy takes them out...
Interesting read: Angela Merkel is Playing You For Fools
A thought experiment: how would you solve the euro crisis if Germany were not part of the equation? If you would have to put the de facto German contribution to the puzzle at zero, neutral? What would you be left with then, and what steps would have to be taken to come to a solution? If the sole remaining big players were, let's see, France, Spain and Italy?
That changes the picture, doesn't it? Take Germany out and all you're left with is pretty much roadkill. Plus a motley crue of comparatively small barely breathing rodents like Holland, Finland and Austria.
See? With bailouts for Spain and Italy now all but inevitable, if you leave Germany out of the picture for the moment, you're left with no-one at all to pay for those bailouts. Not even a complete and immediate move towards a fiscal, banking and political union would do anything to resolve Europe's financial quagmire if Germany is not present.
In other words: it all comes down to Germany. Berlin is on the hook for everything. The required funding for the EFSF and ESM emergency funds would, with Spain and Italy moving into roles as debtors instead of creditors, have to come from Germany to the tune of what would fast approach 50% or so.
