That's where you can get into the flow.

As the elite is mumbling, gasping and hollering EUROCRISIS!!! all over the place it's time for us to ask our financial experts here at xterkyu for some insights into that damn complicated mess. Here's what they say:

vulture

We are witnessing no less than the breakdown of an intrinsically unstable and unsustainable monetary system. All the actions taken so far are not addressing the core problems. Seems like there was something to be learned from the vulture funds' ways to make profits from distressed debt. We recommend their Loan to own strategy to distressed states who have to deal with distressed banks in the current sovereign debt crisis.

How? Stop the halfwitted repair attemts, let the market do it's thing and very soon most private financial institutions will be in desperate need of help. Now, instead of just bailing them out we should LOAN TO OWN them. More money to rescue banks? Yeah, but put them under control of the only true sovereign in a democracy - the public. That accomplished all over the Eurozone we can go ahead and make shiny bald heads: a generous multilateral 100% haircut clearing all debt held by the then public banks. Hey, it's quite virtual anyway, all this money isn't it? - What would we win? Prosperity? Democracy? Stability? Who knows. What would we loose? A lot of doubtful numbers in books

Thank's guys, we say. Fascinating. Keep up the good work!
