'Unlimited' amount of money...

- conjured out of thin air I suppose. Unbelievable.

on newsnight they were saying the banks do not want to borrow from the central banks as it shows their weakness. Not sure if this changes anything but lets the people and banks feel that the ECB is acting.

Well thats fine then.
All the banks have to do now is find people who can take out a loan with them and afford to pay it back .....

@waitingfor, I thought the loans were anonymous? I think I'll step away from the Euro - previously I thought the ECB were inflation fighters, but no more it seems. What's the best next option - Japanese yen or gold?

There are a lot of BTL landlords and other mortgage-holders who wish they could borrow unlimited amounts of money at below-market rates. This really stinks.
