16th Oct - Reversal day as Fed talks QE?

15th Oct - Nasty risk-off moves

Thought of the day: I've noticed it is not wise to underestimate the resiliency of European stupidness. In Finland, being critical toward the euro currency is a luxury that only few can afford, as it is a career-killer. Only few economics professors dare to say anything negative about it. I really wonder how Europe turned this way. Perhaps it was a dream, that no-one wants to give up, even if it has to be turned into a nightmare.

#Dombrovskis said (kudos to Open Europe)

The next Commission will be committed to bringing € agreements into EU framework, means treaty change

If EU states demanded a mechanism for country to leave € COM would provide tech support. Refuses to say personal view

Pointed out earlier flaws in the EMU structure, yet when questioned on it he rejected euro as cause of crisis

Euro has been a huge success despite crisis, even countries outside the euro had crises so I think euro is not the problem

Points out that his country went through a deep crisis without the euro - (does not mention his currency was pegged to euro)
