I think a run on Cypriot banks is guaranteed... How long will they stay open when they DO open?

Perhaps the good people of Cyprus should look to Iceland and say a big collective fuck you to the austerity banksters.

I'm afraid the people of Cyprus will have their savings confiscated before the banks open again. While the percentages are sure to change before that happens, the politicians will give in to Brussels' demands.

I look for runs on the banks of Spain and Italy before this is all over.

Master cluster fuck indeed.

I'm thinking those Cypriots who keep their money at The First Bank of Mattress are feeling like the smartest people in the room about now.
