at least the italians will have some gold to fall back on, the rest of them are in deep.

Ah! So it's the short sellers who are the cause of all this mess and not the shady finances of debt riddled govenment central banks. How did we not figure this one out?

I don't think they were pointing a finger at them, just cutting them off. When you get to the point of total collapse a slight breeze could tip them over.


China dumping Italian bonds probably did not help the situation much, but I doubt they will say anything to the Chinese.
