Yield on German Bonds in negative territory
#1
"...The yield on six-month German bonds fell to a record low of -0.03%, meaning that investors were paying the German government to lend money to them..." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18767056

This in itself seems rather amazing, and I don't think I've ever seen this happen in my lifetime before, either. I don't know if anyone else will find this newsworthy or not. Your discussion invited if anyone cares. (Meanwhile, yields on Spanish and Italian debt exceeded 7%, considered to be an unsustainable amount for any country to pay - this, despite the recent bailouts.)

Germany does not want the Turks in the EU...I would wager.

It's almost like you would like to just flip the pages to the final chapter called "MISSED OPPORTUNITIES".
