Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

It's only going to get worse as the unelected technocrats @ the Eu embrace more Keynesianism and central government
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/moodys-cuts-ratings-on-italy-portugal-and-spain/2012/02/13/gIQATZczBR_story.html
NEW YORK — Ratings agency Moody’s Investor Service on Monday downgraded its credit ratings on Italy, Portugal and Spain, while France, Britain and Austria kept their top ratings but had their outlooks dropped to “negative†from “stable.â€
Moody’s also cut its ratings on the smaller nations of Slovakia, Slovenia and Malta. All nine countries are members of the European Union.
The agency said it took the actions due to the uncertainty over EU financial reforms, the region’s weak economic outlook and the resulting pressure on fragile markets. Government debt ratings can play a major role in countries’ borrowing costs because they often lead to higher interest rates that must be paid to offset investors taking on greater risk.

I heard Malta is moving to the Rhino horn standard.
I thought BT would move on to a fresh troll after the American voters rejected Ron Paul as a fraud not revert back to this boring stale crap.

Interesting that directly after Moody's downgraded them, Italy sold 7 billion dollars in bonds....at a lower yield, indicating investors don't really give a damn what Moody's says and that they feel confidant in Italy's ability to repay them.
Stocks are up, Euro is up, gold is down.
Hmmmm.....could it be that no matter how hard they try to make this black hole keep on growing, people are getting sick of what the "experts" tell them? After all, the same "experts" told them that the economy was perfectly fine in early 2008.

So it is going to get worse just like the stock market, which has been rising, unemployment, which has tapered off, and the bulldozers that never came.
Your predictions have the hype of a teenage girl dreaming about marrying Johnny Depp. A little impulse control would serve you well.
