Trickle up .. not trickle down. Massive resources pledged to take us out of the crisis.

.. not trickle down .. but trickle up ..

"Deep differences remain over whether the European Central Bank (ECB) should commit more of its massive resources to shoring up Europe's banks and help struggling eurozone member countries."

Europe searches for solution to debt crisis

"Euro zone policymakers debate dramatic increase in size of continent's bailout fund, amid criticism from US and China."

Europe searches for solution to debt crisis

massive resources to shoring up Europe's banks


..the 2 trillion euros .. all these massive resources devoured into bonuses .. by the banks .. how much will trickle down to people ..

.. people will still be in the same state .. if not ..worse

.. handed them over to people .. and let them use it .. in whatever way they want .. certainly .. some .. will trickle up ..

people .. they will pay the debts .. that would alleviate the banks .. confidence ..ahoy .. the banks can pay their own debts .. too .. the (bloody) investors ..will get their money .. and the markets .. will get busy ..

.. products and services .. their demand, will shore up .. total bliss for the corporations .. the world will turn ..into a grant massive happy .. merry-go-around ..

.. what else do they want? ..

or is it .. that deep down .. all of these proponents of the markets .. are deep down .. nasties .. that could not bear .. even the thought ..of seeing ..happy faces ..around them ..

Computer based trading (CBT). They are playing with chaos , ..and they might burn their fingers.

or .. in retrospect (or introspection) .. why might .. they will certainly burn their fingers

In MoneyScience, in the article "The Future of Computer Trading in Financial Markets Working paper - UK Office for Science Foresight Project (pdf)", the working paper referred to, out of Foresight, Government Office for Science, mentions ..

"However, in specific circumstances, a key type of mechanism can lead to significant instability in financial markets with computer based trading (CBT): self-reinforcing feedback loops (the effect of a small change looping back on itself and triggering a bigger change, which again loops back and so on) within well-intentioned management and control processes can amplify internal risks and lead to undesired interactions and outcomes."

.. feedback loops .. chaotic instabilities .. self-reinforcing .. positive feedback ..

.. the parameters and the variables .. included in the algorithms used .. the conditions set by the choice of such variables and parameters .. approximate .. if that is only ..

real live situations ..on-line .. assessing states .. market states .. the triggers set .. what computer based trading recognise as value .. in whatever way that value is assumed by its operator .. and accordingly to act .. conclude the sale or purchase .. the transaction


undesired interactions .. if it is that only .. apart from what is regarded as.. unforeseen .. unpredictable .. it is quite interesting .. to see up to what level .. the control .. 'of the well-intentioned management and control processes' ..introduced .. can eliminate .. undesired interactions .. the unforeseen, unpredictable outcome states ..

they are playing with chaos .. and they might burn their fingers, or will certainly burn .. while doing so ..

interesting .. to see though .. what that .. 'key type of mechanism' ..is .. and what are .. the 'specific circumstances' ..

but as usual .. with myself .. get carried away .. before I get to know .. more of the details ..

Debt is a vehicle. It is driven. It does not carry.

BBC News - IMF promises decisive action for eurozone debt crisis


.. banking system .. re-arrangement .. restructuring .. banking capital .. the now narrow view .. that demands the survival and growth of banks and corporations, their thrift .. at the expense of individuals .. into a wider view .. that puts first individuals .. their survival .. their growth ..

.. change of scope in mind ..


"There still seems to be a large gap between what economists and markets say is needed - and politicians are able to provide."

re-arrangement .. restructuring .. out of .. what is regarded as known .. what economists and markets say is needed .. and what politicians think .. they ought to provide ..

"Banks holding large amounts of European sovereign debt have come under pressure from investors concerned about losses if those debts are not repaid."

verifying ..analysing .. what it means .. the losses .. out of debts that are not repaid ..

clearly .. besides monetary losses .. of an entity that depends .. has been constructed .. on the assumption .. that there will be compliant individuals .. who sustain the entity money .. who themselves suffer losses ..

economies depend on people .. without them .. the entity economy would not exist .. debt is a vehicle .. not the carrier ..

.. the vehicle can be altered .. in many ways .. to suit the carrier .. but there are very few ways .. that would demand .. alterations bestowed upon the carrier ..

especially when these alterations .. would require drastic changes of the carrier .. to the extent that the carrier .. would be unable to carry the carriage ..

"Advanced economies will ensure that banks have strong capital positions and access to adequate funding," said the communique."

"It said it would follow up this pledge with a "bold action plan" at the beginning of November."

.. abandon all practices .. that are put under the directive .. of the absolute and unavoidable requirement for corporations to maximise profit .. at all costs

corporations taken advantage .. of the advances of technology .. for mere financial gains .. exploiting their grapple .. their tight hold .. of political structures ..

at all costs .. costs that go beyond .. their mere financial counterparts .. costs that the world bears harsh ..

Stabilize market confidence, crutches availed. Alchemy enabled, powered by.

Bloomberg: Europe Faces Geithner, Soros Pressure to Defuse Debt Crisis
September 25, 2011, 12:14 PM EDT

The sovereign debt crisis in the euro area needs to be resolved promptly to stabilize market confidence,” People’s Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said at the IMF talks, which conclude today.“

stabilize market confidence .. upon crutches .. global economy ..alchemy ..provided .. enabled .. powered by .. the proverbial scraps turned gold ..

scraps .. their corporations and banks .. cherished and put upon pedestals .. revenues and profits ..

.. a worthy cause for people to sacrifice their very livelihoods .. and lives

their eroding influence ..passed on down the world's hierarchy of structures .. from the international and national power-broker bodies .. to their subsidiaries .. states banks and corporations .. right down to the core ..of societies communities families .. and to very individual itself .. succumbing under the immense pressure .. extinguishing the will for life .. the futility ..of it all

banks corporations .. along .. sold-out ..states and politicians .. to boost their confidence .. confident enough for another round of assault .. on individuals ..

cuts .. in pensions, salaries .. all to appease .. the never-ending appetite .. of banks and corporations for profits ..

this is not the market ..suited for people ..

Fall onto their faces, again and again, into mud-shit, for the mere mis-acknowledgement, the stubborn resolve of not taking into account the most crucial and fundamental system-building factor. People.

"Greek- led turmoil threatened “cascading default, bank runs and catastrophic risk.” Billionaire investor George Soros said “something needs to be done” to safeguard Europe’s banks because Greece may be unable to avoid default."

going straight .. for the carcass .. the meat .. Greece's default .. right to the point ..

the precious banks .. above all else .. people can be spared .. inconsequential .. but even for the banks ..

asking for advice .. from the wolf .. to safeguard the sheep .. seeking out not the milk or the wool .. but their very flesh ..

Soros .. its very existence .. its presence .. its status .. an affront in the face of humanity ..

Information. If it ain't for you .. it won't get you. Out to get information for winning and showing off, but in the process forget how to enjoy self.

There’s a waterfall of content that you’re missing out on.


what's all the fuss about it ..

.. if it ain't for you .. it won't get you .. but if it is for you ..it will find you ..

.. why should you chase after .. what it is not for you ..

.. wasting mind and heart .. for an elusive bit of information ..

.. overwhelmed by the feeling that you missed something ..

.. instead of letting self overrun by feelings of discovery .. that pound your senses .. excite you .. stir you up ..

.. as they come from nowhere .. as when you are not looking out for them ..


.. out to get the information .. for winning and showing off .. but in the process forget how to enjoy self ..


.. time is money .. they say .. what is behind .. the chase for the information ..

.. yearning to turn into gold every little bit of information ..

.. analysing it here ..scrutinise it there ..

.. suffocating under an ever increasing wasteful load ..

.. filled to the brim with anxiety .. of what you have missed .. and what your competitors did not miss ..

.. imagining your plight .. the fortunes that came by .. and whisked away from you

.. only to land in the lap .. of the person you are competing against ..

.. you do not create .. you are only trying to getting advantage of ..

.. instead of contributing to the chaos of information .. that internet provides ..

.. the enormous amount of leads .. that only if you let yourself totally and unequivocally .. under its spell ..

.. then it will take you everywhere .. your heart and mind desires ..

out to get the information .. for winning and showing off .. but in the process you forget how to enjoy yourself ..

Economy, banks, crisis. Systemic risks out of systemic attributes to systemic failures.


"Any advice does not take into account your personal needs and financial circumstances and you should consider whether it is appropriate for you."

Banks .. disclaimer .. what is their usefulness .. then?

Why this ..is acceptable?

Why anyone ..would heed their advice? .. Fundamental systemic attributes ...

..if their advice .. does not take ..into consideration .. their (customers) .. personal needs and financial circumstances ..

Systems built .. on the premises .. of ignoring .. of what they are counting on .. customers .. entrusting them with the fruits of their labour

customers whose .. personal needs and financial circumstances .. are not taken .. into consideration ..

how can a system .. survive .. upon these premises .. systemic attributes .. systemic risks ..

what is sought after .. a balance .. on a knife-edge ..surface ..

based on .. on a loosely knit .. win-win .. arrangement .. precarious .. limits

and disregard .. of 'customers personal needs and financial circumstances' .. enshrined

Advice .. if ever .. anything that ..banks offer .. can be called as such .. except as .. allurement .. deceit .. deviance .. the length at which .. their so-called advice ..could reach .. endangering .. the integrity .. the well-being .. of banks .. and customers .. alike..

.. systemic risks out of systemic attributes .. to systemic failures

banks offered advice .. implied within .. you are doomed if you heed the advice given .. as the advice offered .. it is for our own sake ..and only .. tailored to our own needs and wants ..

..and never intended to take into consideration .. your own .. personal needs and wants ..
