My apologies for not expanding on the acronym. EPL = English Premier League (Football/Soccer).

Quite. And this "news" was to be expected.
EU Commission to reject Italy budget plan: Spiegel
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 17, 2018
I agree with nearly everything you have written, very eruditely. Here's an analogy for my questioning: in the EPL, is it the fault of the current top teams that some teams struggle at the bottom, both financially and results-wise? The presence of ...
Greece Is Trapped
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 17, 2018
Maybe. However I WOULD question which is the chicken and which is the egg? Is it not the case that sound money and budget management has been a DE trait since WWII and which has also been the very base of the Euro project getting off the ground from ...
Greece Is Trapped
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 17, 2018
Arguably, DE has already paid the piper: it's just that no one will have noticed yet. The Target 2 Credits won't get paid back. It will get noticed if Italy causes the disruption of the Euro. Whilst it's really unfortunate for the general Greek ...
Greece Is Trapped
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 16, 2018
Maybe, but also the Italian Budget and Debt situation having unpalatable consequences, or even the withdrawal of ECB-easy money? Many possibilities . . .
Significant Decline in Expectations
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 10, 2018
Brexit is at root. GDP has stalled whilst businesses await the outcome of the dichotomous Brexit negotiations. So, unless there is a huge differential between the actual figure and the predicted ones, it's unlikely to break free from the shackles of ...
GDP monthly estimate, UK: August 2018
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 6, 2018
First of all, please don't let the voice in your head imagine that I am shouting back at you. I'm not. I am merely replying. "So??" I have an opinion, like you. We might think differently but it's still my opinion. I can accept yours but can you ...
EU is said ready to offer U.K. 'super-charged' free-trade deal: BBG
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 5, 2018
Spot on. Unless you're a market-maker or a too-big-to-fail trader, then wanting a particular result and getting it are two different things. The market will decide.
EU is said ready to offer U.K. 'super-charged' free-trade deal: BBG
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 4, 2018
So the politicians and bureaucrats that depend on it keep saying, conveniently ignoring the fact that there are numerous deals done all the time, be it EETA, EFTA, breaches of Schengen, breaches of Budget limits, special deals for Turkey etc. etc. ...
Ireland backs May’s plan for all-UK customs union with EU
- DaJoWaBa commented Oct 4, 2018
Unless you're actually the Market-maker, there's a huge difference between wanting a specific outcome and what the market actually delivers. Stick to the technicals.
Sterling could plummet to $1.15 if UK leader May resigns, analyst says
- DaJoWaBa commented Sep 25, 2018
Despite the EU's pronouncements that the EU's Rules (4 pillars or any other other pick-and-mix) are non-negotiable, the EU actually has a multitude of flexible customs and trade deals with outsiders (cherry-pickers?), as can be demonstrated by ...
Brexit is going very wrong, but a snap election is the last thing the British public needs
- DaJoWaBa commented Sep 21, 2018
The EU's preferential tactics are always to rebuff. It's a rules-based political construct of a significant protectionist nature. It's not set up to be adaptive or inventive: the primary stonewall tactic aims to place the plaintiff under ...
