    Gold finally starting to behave the way you think it would, given that news.

    yes but it also seems like the market is gonna have to put in some kind of tradeable top (like the head pattern of the H&S pattern that we've been talking about) before the PM stuff is ready to rock as it's all be inversely correlated lately. 

    I don't see how anyone

    I don't see how anyone can look at that situation as positive.

    yes windyjazz and that statement

    yes windyjazz and that statement seems to imply that more banks could be facing similar problems

    DB -4.4%; CS -2.6% --

    DB -4.4%; CS -2.6% -- not good.  If you lived in Italy, Portugal and Spain, would the Cyprus "good news" give you confidence to keep your money where it is?  I would imagine the withdrawals at euro banks today was extreme.  

    no wonder Euro banks are down?

    What  Dijsselbloem did was essentially yell fire in a crowded movie theater. There have been no bank runs in Europe up till now because Cyprus was thought of as a one off. I would think there are going to be much more bank transactions this week and they will revolve around that 100K Euro #...mattresses stuffed or US banks/Swiss banks seeing more deposits 

    Great plan if you are

    Great plan if you are a banker, not so much if you're a depositor.
