Re: LQD: Learning from the Swedish banking crisis (4.00 / 3)
Sven Triloqvist:
The Icelandic banks have been also very active, as I predicted several years ago in an article on Kaupthing conducted in Reykjavik.

IMHO the Icelandic banking system is a colossal illusion, and an accident waiting to happen: a pyrmaid of credit teetering on a lump of volacnic slag surrounded by fish.

The Icelanders are a crew of financial Vikings who have been busy raping and pillaging an unbelievably credulous financial community.

And good luck to them, I say!
