European banks will come clean on hidden losses.

This will roil the financial markets.   They are all panicking on how to re-capitalize the failing banks.  I've got an idea. 

Let.
Them.
Fail.

The bad loans will go away, and the market will re-capitalize itself.   

It's like swallowing poison, if your throw-up and get it out of your system, you'll recover faster then if you try to hold it in.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

They are ITCHING to standardize the philosophy of bank bail-ins.  Absolutely SALIVATING to try it.

Want to see $1000 bitcoins, it'll happen here.

Used to be "re-capitalize" = "bail out" 
Not so much now since the peeps are hip to the scam. 

Newest variant
"re-capitalize" = "bail-in"
For those not speaking banker, bail-in is simply confiscation of depositors assets usually with the promise of restoration at interest at some ill defined point in the future.
