HJRequesting to add a: Listen Only button. Love the content. Listen everyday. Is it possible to get a "listen only" button added so those of us who listen to the show in the car. Currently the "audio" button requires a download, then switching to the player, and then deleting after listening. Just a request. Thanks so much for the content! Keep up the good work!

BBThanks ash and roger. Top quality. Getting your insights on Eurozone developments is so valuable.

wjSpot on except that I do not agree that chancellor Merkel is pro Europe. She is Pro EU. And that is not the same. The politicians that make the law for Europe are Not chosen politicians by Europe. I am pro Europe but I am not for the EU.

CBYou are not getting write what the capital key limits for ECB purchases are

IPso we must expect lateral sideways market for years? when it goes down, Fed steps, when the market goes up Fed backs off

BBExcuse me scale matters. Using a term like "Financial Engineering" is pacification of profiteering without contributing to the economy. The scale today is larger and broader than most periods in the last couple hundred years. Naked shorting, stock buy backs, off balance sheet items - all have been illegal in the past. "Too Big To Fail" has broadened financial engineering beyond previously ever imagined! Q - Has all this financial engineering grown so large, broad and complex to be fixed without a destructive crisis?
-
RLThanks gents. I just downloaded the book from Amazon for some light reading :> For some reason it was free.

MB@RogerHirst Italy has high public debts but low private debt. Switzerland is the opposite. Most economists blame Italy for the high debt but only a few economists talk about the total debt level which was the reason for the lower credit spread of Italy (in the past) compared to what most economist said would be justified. Why do you think is that? Is there a homepage where total debt of a country is compared to GDP?
-
RLThank you for your update. Roger, you did not mention how the eu can finance the 750 million. In the news papers they mention eu tax for big companies. So for example big tech companies as Google will pay for it. The Dutch newspaper and even the former Dutch minister and head Eurozone Dijsselbloem thinks it is a good idea. This would be a structurel game and would put pressure on big companies
-
MAAlways good, but today one of your best.

RRThese briefings talk way too much about Europe. It's high time to focus on the rest of the world.
-
MCWho is paying for the EUR550bn grant? If its actually debt issued at an EU level then the idea that its a grant is rubbish. Who funds the EU? Its members. So are the grants actually just debt mutalisation?

JSNo disrespect gents, you are doing a great job. Unfortunately, all of this is such a joke. Bailouts, bailouts, and more bailouts. It's just a big joke. Up is down, down is up, day is night, night is day. Sorry for the diatribe.
-
NLThank you boys.
-
JWYou guys make the nearly inexplicable, explicable. Well done, great interview.
-
SFRoger might be favorite analyst on real vision. Bravo Roger bravo.
-
DRDid they manage to get through the entire update without discussing the euro’s recent strong gain on the dollar? Is it just likely to be the us stock market moving to risk on?
