I love the guy, but I think its dreadful form to keep trotting him out when he's past it. I mean, he played every game for Ireland for 5/6 seasons and was a beast.
He's our best lineout lifter by a country mile, but he just doesn't have the pace of the game in him anymore.
I'd absolutely love for him to prove me wrong though.

- what are our best current options?
- what do our best current options say about how we have managed this world cup cycle?
Hayes starting on Saturday doesn't annoy me in terms of the former, but it makes me absolutely furious when it comes to the latter.
Very simply, we are now paying the price for the calendar year 2009. England and France spent two years after the last world cup approaching the whole thing completely differently to us - and they will reap the benefits in New Zealand next year.

so either we (a) cut our spending to what we take in via income, or (b) tap the EFSF
(c) will follow and that is default."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostOkay, well as long as we're talking about specifics finally. The actual answer is that all an inverted yield curve normally means is that the economy is expected to contract in the future. This may lead to default, of course, but is vastly more common as a predictor of a normal recession.
Seriously lad, read your CFA books! That's bonds 101
I was talking about actual yields in my reply to strewel, not the structure of the curve. Regurgitating academic definitions in response seems pointless.
The point about inversion is that this is what happened to Greece before they went kablammo. It's happening to us too. We'll be in the EFSF by the end of April - agree?"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

also, AIB senior CDS just went through 1,000bps. Kind of supports my hypothesis (which McW stole )
Originally posted by colquhom View PostPretty sure it depends on the interest rate and your discounted preference for money defined by the Euler Equation, something like,

I think this is along the lines of the answer, its been a while though so I can't remember really and its probably a simplified version of it,
so PL isn't wrong to say utility of income isn't always more important in the present, but it can become less important depending on the opportunity cost of not saving etcX can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostHopefully we will be borrowing from the EFSF soon as then we'll be borrowing at a certain rate of interest, and a lowish rate - 5% instead of maybe 8%. That isn't bankruptcy, under any definition of bankruptcy.
at least you agree that we'll be 'borrowing from the EFSF soon'. This entails total loss of sovereignty (in the economic realm). The only reason an EU state would do this is the fact that they can't borrow from the markets i.e. insolvency. No amount of arsing around with technical definitions will mask this.
by the way, the EFSF rate won't be 5%. It'll be well above that (pesky Greeks got first mover advantage there). Here's a good explanation why."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

stop obsessing about the damn inverted yield curve anyway - we're shut out of the markets (both practically and by choice). The game is up."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostMy point exactly.
And the chances of us being out of the Euro this time next year are ... ?
the State stands behind the banks but the State has no capacity to actually pay up if the guarantee is called upon. Why would you leave your money in insolvent banks in an insolvent State? It's an unacceptable risk.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostHow about we put a bet on for something to happen in the next year, just to keep us interested? (if you want)
Things I'd be interested in:
- Good odds on us not borrowing from the EFSF in the next 12 months
- Over/under on GNP or GDP next year
second one is tougher - GDP could quite conceivably grow while banks\state go busto! I'll pass on this as our GDP numbers are so skewed by FDI."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Originally posted by Lotto.ie View PostHow come..?
Can you make this as simplify this so even I can understand...
u'(C1) is satisfaction (utility) from consuming something today
u'(C2) is satisfaction from consuming something tomorrow
R is the interest rate
We like to consume stuff today because none of us can delay gratification so we have higher satisfaction from not waiting.
The B term captures this, its called the discount factor, its between 0 and 1, the closer to 0 it is, the more we prefer consuming stuff now.
The formula is called the "pain vs gain" condition. We don't like delaying consumption but because we can invest and gain loadsa munzos tomorrow, we don't mind doing it.
So....when B(how much we want something now) is greater than 1+r our utility of spending today is higher than saving
When B<1+r our utility of all the money we'll get tomorrow is higher than spending today so we save
When B=1+r we are equally happy to spend in either period so we split our spending
The permanent income hypothesis says that we'll try to spread our consumption equally across all periods
Hope that was helpful, not confusing and i didn't explain it too badly

lol, I scored one of the hottest birds in PwC when I was on work placement there a good few years ago. Wonder if she was on the list? Note: not a shameless brag, I was like 'eh wat, are you sure?' as it was goin' on!
