Stacy Summary: Arguments for maintaining the current Credit Default Swaps market argue that the ‘markets’ should be free. Strangely, the threat of a real market exchange on which to trade these instruments gets met with howls of rage. If the entire market as it is at present is mired with fraud and betting against what only what a few insiders know is hologram paper based on fictional exchange rates and fake assets, then I say bring in the prosecutors, the exchanges and the light of day.

Stacy Summary: I like the way that all official statements coming from China relating to almost anything, including the economy; are contradicted by several other official statements. So, for example, in the last week we have heard from several official sources that the yuan will rise by up to 5pc and that the yuan, in fact, will not be allowed to rise at all. It’s the art of war I suppose of never letting your enemy, in this case, the other players in the market, know what you are really doing.

Stacy Summary: Another thread for Iceland; the story of our time. What do you think the next step will be? Sounds like the government is determined to strike a deal with the UK and Netherlands that the people of Iceland should pay the private debts of one bank. Any interesting links you have regarding the Iceland situation here too please!
