Derivatives are dangerous

The danger is that the whole financial system could blow up due to the huge amount of derivatives still outstanding. Once again, excessive speculation is being fueled by artificially low interest rates, and asset bubbles exist everywhere.

Europe has too many structural problems

In my view, the European economy will not suddenly recover. It has too many structural problems. One way that the so-called "banking crisis" could be resolved, though, is to let inflation rates rise. Asset prices would then shoot up, and loan portfolios would be better covered. But I do not really think that inflation is the solution.
