A pact with the devil—that’s now the official metaphor for the European Central Bank’s “unlimited” bond purchases that are supposed to save the Eurozone. Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann himself referred to it when he discussed the “dangerous correlation of paper money creation, state financing, and inflation.” But it’s too late. Germany has cracked in two. And part of it has embraced that pact with the devil.

Outsourcing is a loaded term in the IT world. But the organizations that know how to handle outsourcing in smarter and more strategic ways quickly figure out that they can operate and innovate faster and more efficiently. Outsourcing can help companies reduce costs and enable them to concentrate on core capabilities. You have likely at least considered outsourcing your information technology.
This month’s IT Factor will examine how and when businesses should take advantage of outsourcing, which IT functions can be outsourced, the pitfalls to avoid, how to deal with the corporate culture issues, and when to keep things in-house.

Strange how Hans Werner Sinn speaks out so strongly against german banks paying for foreign bank bailouts when german banks where among the greatest beneficiaries of the US bank bailouts. Not that I’m for bailouts but this smacks of opportunism hidden behind the usual german smoke screen bluff of sobriety.
What about german bank leverage?
Yer can’t take it with you!

Weidmann speakes and speakes, but he does not take actions. Back to the Deutschmark by reintroducing a new currency by the Bundesbank. That’s the alternative to the growing EU monster. Let these EU bastards explode.
