The European money markets have begun to seize up as pressure mounts on the Italian and Spanish banking systems, tracking the pattern seen during the build-up towards the financial crisis in 2008.

The three-month euribor/OIS spread, the fear gauge of credit markets, reached the highest level in two years today, jumping 7 basis points to 40 in wild trading.

“Europe’s money markets are undoubtedly starting to freeze up,” said Marc Ostwald from Monument Securites.

“It’s not as dramatic as pre-Lehman but it is alarming and shows the pervasive degree of fear in the markets. People are again refusing to lend except on a secured basis.”

I get the impression that all these greedy gangsters are plotting a fast run to the exit. Right now.

Seems that way, doesn't it. Look at china, they seems to have a two tier economy.

The peak if capitalism for the rich, the masses basically live in serfdom.

Coming to America soon? Could be.
