LTRO 2

The last time they did this they lent nearly half a trillion Euros. Anyone care to guess how much it’ll come to this time?

Another half trillion?

It's all a big game of elastic brinksmanship anyway: ECB can fill its holes by printing Euro but only if there is no alternative, Greece won't leave the Euro until there is no alternative, Europe won't subsidise Greece unless there's no alternative, and nobody wants the banking system to stop working.
