Does the ECB Have a Plan to Rescue the Euro? None That I See!
2012-01-23 15:15:00 We’re constantly talking about how much help the euro zone needs to escape the economic mess they’ve created. So will the European Central Bank (ECB) monetize debt? Will the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) be sufficiently funded as a bailout mechanism? Will Germany agree to back-stopping periphery nations? Earlier this week the International Monetary Fund (IMF) put forth a new, albeit unoriginal, proposal to garner funds from its non-European members that will serve as a backstop should there be a major shock to the European financial system. The IMF wants to raise another $500 billion. But, laughably, they’re hoping the G-20 can come to an agreement and make this happen. With all that said … Why Didn’t . . . → Read More: Does the ECB Have a Plan to Rescue the Euro? None That I See!

Which ETFs Could Suffer from Latest Euro-Zone Downgrades?
2012-01-19 18:30:00 If you’re a regular reader of Money and Markets, you weren’t surprised last Friday when Standard & Poor’s downgraded the sovereign debt of nine European nations. I’ve been expecting it, as have Martin Weiss, Mike Larson and our other editors. My main question: What took them so long? The bigger news came Monday when S&P also downgraded the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). EFSF is the mechanism that was supposed to save the euro zone’s unstable members. Now will the rescuer itself need a rescue? If you still have any ETF exposure in Europe, now is a good time to review your risk profile. Intermission is over and the curtain is going back up.

Monti Drives Stake in Euro?s Heart ? Sends Italy Down Greece-Paved Road!
2011-12-12 18:14:00 As I watched the ECB news conference on Thursday, I kept wondering how the ECB president, Mario Draghi, could have so completely rejected the idea that the ECB will get into the “periphery bond buyer of last resort” business. Why is this important? Because many believe it will be impossible for the euro to succeed unless the ECB steps in the breach with a massive quantitative easing program for the euro zone’s periphery countries. After announcing a quarter of a point rate cut on Thursday, and explaining the ECB would accept lesser quality collateral from euro-zone banks and take up steps to increase liquidity in the system, Drahgi started taking questions from reporters.

The Euro Debate Gets Philosophical
2011-12-07 16:15:00 Europe is rapidly approaching the denouement, the Endgame, of its currency experiment. The outcome is not clear, at least to your humble analyst, as the debates rage and there are huge pluses and minuses the 17 nations must decide upon. But the proverbial road down which the can is tumbling and clattering, kicked along haphazardly, is coming to its end, and soon a rather sharp turn, either to the left or to the right, will be required. Let us hope they choose wisely. Today’s Outside the Box is a rather philosophical debate between my friends at GaveKal, which they have graciously shared with us.

Guide to Save the Euro
2011-11-30 15:46:00 Can the euro be saved? Is it possible to stem the flight of money from the periphery into the core? With a botched German auction in mind, investors are now wondering whether it’s possible to prevent a flight out of “all things euro”? We examine the dual challenges of fiscal sustainability and bank solvency in this analysis, with the not-so-modest title “Guide to Save the Euro”. Fiscal sustainability Fiscal sustainability is about revenue and expenses, but also about perception.
