Eurolandia

Je suis costraint à nouveau à reporter l'analyse de Mish's:
Gold may become even more volatile as the ECB and IMF attempt more futile efforts to "save the Euro". These foolish efforts to "save Greece" (in reality save stupid European banks that made foolish loans to Greece) has tripled or quadrupled the pain those banks are going to feel.

What may initially have been a 40 billion Euro boondoggle now likely approaches a 150 billion Euro boondoggle and the EU wants to throw yet another 100 billion Euros at it. In the meantime, Italy looks prepared to blow again.

How much more of this will citizens of Germany, Finland, and Austria put up with? How much austerity can citizens of Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Italy take?

This can easily come to a crisis head as soon as next month, or even next week.
