The "get to 1,000 pages before 12/31/12" thread

LOL yeah, sometimes I just get really weird impulses to do something... I usually regret it later.. but that's half the fun of life, acting without thinking.

Angesichts eingetrockneter Refinanzierungsmärkte haben sich Europas Banken jetzt bei der EZB mit rund 489 Milliarden Euro eingedeckt

I understand!

With a bit of help from Google.

Funding markets have dried up (Refinanzierungs = funding, I'm supposing) so the central bank stocked up Europe's banks with around 489 billion Euros!

OMG OMG it makes sense.

They're talking about bond return rates being down to only 1%!!!

Oh, so this is why everyone's getting excited.

Ich lerne Deutsch.

Ich bin so cool.

I'm compiling a list of all this vocab. Some of it could come in handy later.

This sentence confuses me.

Dafür müssen die Banken zwar Sicherheiten hinterlegen, teilweise können sie dafür jedoch Papiere nutzen, die sonst kaum einer am Markt haben will.

 

[Fierlin1182]

Oh my God, I'm on such a roll.

I just guessed that word meant interest rate cut...

This thread NEEDS MORE POSTS. And by the way, I'm not jsut posting smileys and pointless things so this doesn't count as spamming.

I understand!

Am Mittwoch ging das erste von insgesamt zwei solcher ungewöhnlich langen Geschäfte über die Bühne. Hintergrund ist, dass sich die Geldinstitute derzeit aus Angst vor Risiken in den Bilanzen nur ungern gegenseitig Geld leihen.

I translated all the individual hard words, and came to the conclusion that "On Wednesday was the first of two such unusually long operations across the stages (?) The background is that the 'money institute' at present is unwilling to lend money because of worries over risks in financial statements"

Yippee!

Einige Ökonomen sehen in dem Kreditprogramm der EZB auch eine indirekte Staatsfinanzierung. Denn mit den günstig verzinsten Krediten könnten die Euro-Banken Staatsanleihen von Euro-Sorgenkindern kaufen und damit einen respektablen Gewinn einstreichen. Also würde die EZB auch den an den Märkten unter Druck geratenen Krisenländern helfen. Allerdings bestreitet die Notenbank solche Absichten.

Some economists also see the central bank's credit program as indirect funding from the state. Then the Euro banks can sell state lending with the low-interest loan to "problem banks" and make a respectable earnings. The central bank would also on the markets be under pressure to help countries with debt trouble. The Fed has denied all these intentions.

SHRIEK! I can't beleive I managed to figure that out! I'm getting better at this.

Look at me, I'm such a loser, talking to myself while on other threads, people hold conversations that might once have included me, but obviously I've done something wrong to almost everyone on this forum and they therefore don't like me anymore.

The song "Lonely" fits me perfectly right now.
Lonely, I am so lonely
I have nobody, all on my own!

If I sang this very loudly, I might feel a bit better.
Oh, but I can't sing either, just like I have no talent at pretty much anything.
What the hell is the point of being able to get 98% on a chemistry exam, when probably later in life I'll be some old woman living in a tent with eleven cats she's freaking allergic to?

I might have to change that to budgies.

I suppose I'll just have to buy more stock to cheer myself up.
Except the website's under maintenance, so I can't really do much besides watch my money dwindle slowly as the Eurozone goes down the drain.

Oh word, I think I just filled up a whole page with my monologue. Someone save me please.
