  1. Germany issues 2 yr Schatz bonds at 0%. Proof that govt bonds do really offer a Schatz return
  2. Cameron, Germans don’t like the word austerity any more.Efficiency better.What next? Robin Gibb experiencing an ongoing negative lifecycle?
  3. Germany, Japan both surprise on the upside. Investors can’t get enough of Facebook. Markets have worst week for months. Wait for the bounce.
  4. After months of Euro chit chat, it feels like we’re actually heading towards an outcome. Not quite there yet though.
  5. Politicians may understand one day that the people and markets are more powerful than they are. Dangerous not to listen to either.
  6. So, new week, more European turmoil. Watching the Eurozone is like watching the Jeremy Kyle Show.

  9. Facebook IPO set to value it at 96 Billion! Sometimes there are things that I just don’t understand (shakes head).
  10. Most European markets closed today for Mayday. Perhaps this is the solution to all Europe’s woes. No markets,no fluctuations, no worries.
  11. The only surprise about Spain's latest downgrade is that anyone's surprised.
  12. European unity gone mad. France set to be run by Hollande. What next? Dawne French in The Hague?

  16. Spain and Italy back on the radar again as Europe frets. French election too. But aren’t these those issues classed as “known unknowns”?
