    The ECB recognizes it is no longer "properly in control of monetary conditions across the eurozone," writes HSBC's Stephen King in an outstanding piece deserving to be the day's final word on the subject. The good news is the bank is now busily working on ways to fix this. Investors may want to rethink today's gloomy response to such, even if improved monetary conditions are no panacea.

    The EU is a failed experiment, and the central bank model needs to be broken.

    The ECB "fix" requires political action that will not be forthcoming. As for Mr.. King, he is talking his book and hopes for another "patch". No thanks. He is disingenuous at very best and a scoundrel at worst. Let it go as a bad bet which was never serious.
