Dont know why I bother bolding any of it, its all pretty grim news. I heard Dukes on Pat Kenny this morning saying 'nobody can forecast the losses' as if this was a good thing!

From Brian Lucey's twitter "Anglo Report p4 : third para from bottom. Dukes basically says a winddown not possible as basically developers wont repay them"

The blanket bank guarantee with the inclusion of Anglo was the biggest most costly mistake in this states history.

But but but S&P were wrong and we have turned a corner....

dan_d · 31-08-2010 02:39PM

How can they not forecast losses?

Is that not what banks employ certain people to do? To use mathematical formulae to forecast profits/losses as near as possible? I don't buy that for one minute - I would imagine they had a pretty good guesstimate in there of what the losses would be.

Idiots.

Developers have no intention of repaying them since Anglo repossesed their Bentleys and Choppers and basically humiliated them. That and nobody is buying the shoddy crap most of them built

Wah, wah, wah, wah... Nijmegen proceeds to thrash and flail about, throwing his milk bottle at the wall.

That's about as much you or I can do about it...

Yates raised a decent question on newstalk on Monday: If Anglo has stopped much of its trading activities and is handing over tranches of loans to NAMA on a regular basis, what is all of its (as yet unaffected) staff doing on a daily basis to replace lost tasks?

What a money hole. The money goes in. Sweet f*** all comes out. But it's going somewhere, and somebody is getting rich off of it.

Anglo got "lucky" today, death of Mick Lally will push that out of the limelight, scandalous that its not top story on RTE 6.01, but sure its only (another) 8bn!

flutered · 31-08-2010 07:53PM

i heard some english economist on the 10.00am news on 100.4 fm saying that anglo is a festering sore in the irish ecomomy.

Absolutely. RTE are a farce. The country is about to go under but never mind that sh1t, a Montrose luvvie just died ! With every passing day I feel more like one of the characters in Animal Farm. We kicked out our foreign overlords only to replace them with a home grown elite every bit as bad. And we haven't even the courage or self-respect to fight back. I no longer feel like I have any stake in this "republic". Let the whole sh1thouse go up in flames.

Where is all the money going? Even what countries is it going to? It can't all be in Ireland.

Anyone know of an online resource that explains in simple terms what is gone with Anglo? I haven't the foggiest.

Wikipedia would'nt be a bad place to start.

Most of that money is dead money, propping up Bondholders (other banks, typically German, French and British banks and pension funds) who gave the money to the bank to lend to our dodgy developers. Since the developers cant pay it back we step in instead to pay it.

Better include the Irish deposit holders and Irish pension funds also. Don't see why you seem intent in singling out foreign bondholders?

I did use the word typically. An awful lot of the money came from European Banks.

Irish pension funds yes but deposit holders I dont buy. I was only referring to bondholders as they are the first port of call should we decide to partially default (looking more likely). Deposit holders would be in a lot safer position and rightly so. They should still be protected by the bank guarantee. Thats why I did'nt mention them

I'm no economist, but the last couple of days are making me increasingly uneasy on this subject.

http://news.eircom.net/breakingnews/18527521/?view=Standard

Things are bad, very bad, out here as it is. Anglo, it would appear, are making it worse.

As a person who's job hunting, headlines like this scare the bejaysus out of me.Reading between the lines of what's going on the last couple of days, I am not a happy camper. I also have a close relative in Anglo who reckons it may only get worse.

Coupled with this...

http://news.eircom.net/breakingnews/18527471/

...foresight tells me I will in all likelihood have to leave in the next 6 months.

Last person out turn off the lights.

hobochris · 01-09-2010 08:49AM

The higher ups in Anglo must have something seriously incriminating on FF for this to continue.

The law should be changed, the constitution amended, whatever it takes, so that all of those involved in bringing this downfall on Ireland - and I don't mean the global recession, I mean the stupidity, the lies and the corruption - should be locked up, chain ganged and sent to clean our streets in orange boiler suits.

I'd feel happier being screwed if I didn't know they all had properties and money stashed away in other people's names, still living in the lap of comparitive luxury.

dan_d · 01-09-2010 09:12AM

Danbohan, as stories go, that's one of the worst I've heard in a long time.

At least I'm only 27. That man should be retiring by now.

So....any suggestions what we're going to do about all this....

So what you're saying is that we are the real heroes of Europe?

I mean Germany is getting the praise for bailing out Greece but in actuality the irish tax payer is bailing out private businesses and national banks on a pan European scale! All this selflessness and we still find the money to contribute to the Greek bailout, we're some country. Oh where are we getting all this money? Well we're borrowing it from similar sources to the bond holders we are paying back. Private debt, regardless on whose it was, should never have been nationalised onto the Irish tax payer. If Germanys banks invested in Anglo, they did so to make a quick buck. They took a risk and they lost (this risk was always greater than investing in Ireland through sovereign lending. Anglo shouldve gone to the wall and if the german banks were systemic to Germany they let them prop their own banks up.

+1. The office I worked in back then had 20 employees (all under 40). For a laugh, the day of that election we did a poll to see who people gave their number 1 to. I will never forget the results because I found them so baffling. 6 did not vote, 2 voted for labour and the remaining 12 voted for FF. When I asked why so many young, college-educated people were voting for a rightwing party with dubious morals I was met with blank stares. "Sure who else are you going to vote for?" was the most common reply. You get the government you deserve I suppose.

Follow-up article to the WSJ article.

Found in yesterday's New York Times:

Depressing.

Not least because for once it simply states facts...it doesn't accompany it with the usual window dressing about green fields and leprechauns that these articles normally have.

I didn't realise Anglo were playing havoc in the states aswell.

So tell me again - why is Sean Fitzpatrick not clapped up behind bars???it wouldn't change the problem, but just once, it would be nice to see someone assuming responsibility for the mess. (and pigs might fly....sigh)
