TBTF = too big to fail (trop gros pour s'effondrer)

Following the already failed attempt by captured pan-European regulators to stop the local bank Friend-o treatment by instituting a short-selling ban, whose effectiveness as we pointed out lasted, oh, about 7 days, we find just what Plan B is. And, yes, Rothschild is involved. From the WSJ: "Societe Generale SA, whose shares have come under severe pressure in recent weeks, said Tuesday that it had signed a liquidity contract with Rothschild & Cie.

to prevent excessive volatility in its stock price." That's right: Rothschild is now in the Plunge Protection business.

And they all have the ECB to thank for it: after years of not learning from the New York Fed-Citadel Joint Venture, which "never" steps in at precisely the right time (wink wink), they have opened the market for third party PPT incursions. It only seems fitting that the bank that started it all, would step in and fill the void. Because after all if SocGen falls, Rothschild will sooner or later follow. That said, the official explanation is worth its weight in laughter: "The idea is not to keep the stock price high, but rather to keep it steady" a representative for Societe Generale said. After hearing such... brilliance... what really is there to say?

Après le TBTF, le TBTS(ave) ?

Attention, les banques, c'est comme le corium: quand ça devient trop lourd et trop chaud, ça s'enfonce inexorablement et on peut plus rien faire pour l'arrêter.

L'avantage, c'est que contrairement au corium, le papier gras, c'est biodégradable assez rapidement.

TBTF But Not TBTR(ecycle)

China syndrome, ça fond jusqu'à l'autre bout de la terre
