Stressed? Yes, it must be stressful to be insolvent, especially if you're a bank. "Insolvent" means you have negative net worth, after debts are considered. All this ECB wrangling is only addressing the LIQUIDITY issues of the Euro banks. The fundamental insolvency is going unaddressed--perhaps​ with the idea that given enough time all those bad loans will pay off. As it stands, every time the interest rates ratchet up for Spanish and Italian sovereign debt, and the bond values go down, the equity at Euro banks diminishes. Even after 2008, the regulators in Europe were telling the banks that they could count all Euro sovereign debt as AAA and full-price on their balance sheets, regardless of the country floating the bonds. So of course they loaded up on higher-paying sovereigns. Now they have the same problem US banks had in 2008, when so-called AAA mortgage derivatives--made up of low-grade underlying debt--had to be re-priced to what they were really worth. Except for the German banks--and I'd be skeptical about them too--I doubt there are very many truly solvent banks left in the Euro-zone.

History is just going to repeat itself with our recession. The rich will get off scot-free and the middle class and poor will foot the bill. The rich greedy people that own the Republican party will see to that. Pony up your hard earned money.

This whole mess has been one big joke to investors in stocks!! Basically it was a crime seen brought on by Wall Street!!!
