ECB to buy bonds from bankrupted governments. Not really good for Euro dollar. It's going to be a much diluted currency. Shorted Sept Eur.

Just stay quick on your feet (you're obviously one who can). The first reaction often is not the longer-term one. Remember, its 'all about the Euro' (i.e. "strong Euro"???) and the only thing worse for Germans than assuming someone's debt is buying dollars to cheapen their own currency - they ain't ever going to be like the BOJ. ;)
John Galt shrugged, outsourced to Red China and opened a hedge fund for unregulated securitized credit derivatives.

If the world didn't suck, wouldn't we all just fly off?

However, German central bank remains opposed to ECB on the bund buying:
