Draghi's Big Bertha??

Mr. Draghi said the impact of the ECB’s three-year loan allocated in late December was underestimated at first “because many people expected the ECB to expand its government bond purchases, the famous ‘bazooka.’

“Maybe I should have called the tender ‘Big Bertha’ when I announced it, then everyone would have listened.”
I have a passing thought on the next crash, maybe 2-3 years down the road.. I am thinking more of a liquidity crunch in Asia as most of the hot money flowing back to Europe or US due to recovery from their debt crisis. This leads to increase in interest rates Asia wide to try attract back the hot money, but causing business costs and return on investments in Asia to decline due to higher borrowing. This is coupled with inflation (rapid urbanization with the increasing labour costs and higher costs of living), higher fuel costs (to ship exports to US, Europe) and lead to fall in export volumes and reduction of China trade balance. Unless China is able to become self-sustaining and continue to support the surrounding economies like Indonesia & Australia, like how US supports Mexico and South America and Western Europe supports Eastern Europe, we will collapse together with China.

I think that the argument that the costs in US and Europe will always be high is flawed. In my view, it all depends on how well they organize themselves non-financially (like more infrastructure spending in US to support employment and removal of stupid environmental regulations that adds significant cost to support their pride to be a leader) and optimize (if you been to US you will realize that only the big cities are filthy rich but there are alot of empty land, resources that can be exploited) more opportunities, costs or profitability need not suffer.

Just want to get it out of my head. Big Grin
