cool, so you can't answer the question


like most of the posters here, when not responding with a smilie, corny hyperbole one word responses, or copy and pasting an article, you have nothing to add. You literally can't answer and back up your own response, how pathetic is that?

you aren't even worth 2 sentences let alone a drawn out explanation

I understand that, but buying those bonds is not what the ECB is proposing will fix unemployment in Spain, Greece, Italy and other nations, it's number of other factors.

It's also going to be a slow and gradual process. The IMF met recently and the situation in Greece seems to be going nowhere and the possibility of them getting booted out is now very real, that will slow this quantitative easing plan even further with the chaos that's going to cause if that happens


ya underdig?

yeah, Greece is definitely a problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the Euro didn't exist in a few years.

Could you elaborate a little more on your sentence in the OP about European firms don't use bonds the way US firms do? I'm not privy on their operations.

US firms have a lot of money locked up in government bonds, the purchase of assets by the Federal Reserve from the firms increases the value of these assets, the yield decreases and increases the monetary base (increase in inflation). In Europe, most of the firms don't have nearly the same amount invested in government issued bonds but deal more so with banks directly and getting loans from them. So when there is a yield drop and increase in asset value, european firms won't see much of the benefit

So the banks all failing and everyone losing everything they had (we are talking about the average person, not some millionaire investment banker) would be a good thing?

you clearly have ZERO understanding on how the financial systems work in this country, all you can do is give me idiotic idealistic talking points with no educated grounds

explain to me what you think would have happened if all the major banks collapsed and folded?

There would have been a period of serious suffering. But the system needed to be cleared of debts/bad debts. Wealthy people, banks, etc had to take their losses/medicine. But that did not happen. All they did by bailing out the banks was kick the can down the road.
