Hursty yes. And there’s no way Germany would let it fail so would get propped up regardless I reckon. The current Epstein scandal isn’t doing them any favours, but it’s too big to fail for Germany’s reputation.
Millsy It’s been propped up for the past few years.
Of course this might be a massive reg by me and they will fail over the weekend. (Safety post…)

Spy didn’t break 410, back down to 390 or 383 no doubt. Short on Netflix it’s did well of late but overvalued in this market imo and earnings coming up on 18th.
