16/09/11 -- The overnight trade is showing a modest reversal from last night's fairly steep declines. London and Paris grains have also opened a bit firmer on hopes that EU finance ministers will dig deep when US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner passes the Greek plate amongst his congregation once again this weekend.

A bit like the Mousetrap you have to wonder how much longer the whole bloody thing will drag on for.

A nameless company that I used to work for had a farm account that was always six months overdue, yet every time the rep came back with an order from Mr X the feed was always delivered. The attitude was always "well what else can we do, if we put him on stop he won't pay for all the other stuff he's already had."

Meanwhile, the ECB has teamed up with various other central banks including the BoE and Fed to conduct three US dollar liquidity-providing operations with a maturity of around three months taking us through to the end of the year.

Well, we've panned things out this long, so we might as well let it drag on a while longer yet. The patient(s) is/are still going to die, it just seems that he/they might just see one more last Christmas. Let's hope somebody gets a magic set from Santa.
