    PIIGS in trouble again

    This time Ireland. Linky
    So far Ireland has managed to calm investor fears it will go the way of Greece, which suffered a debt meltdown that forced it to turn to its European Union partners and the International Monetary Fund for help.

    IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said in a German newspaper he does not expect the euro rescue fund to be activated for Ireland, adding his voice to a clutch of policymakers who made the same prediction the previous day.

    But data from Spain also heaped more pressure on lagging economies on the euro zone's periphery on Friday, as manufacturing activity there also shrank for the first time in seven months, a day after unveiled it an austerity-driven 2011 budget.
    It's uncanny this is all suddenly blowing up now we are into October, the most popular month for stock market crashes.

    Can you demonstrate a causal link between October and stock market crashes?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        You're kidding, right?

          Does this mean Spanish holidays are going to get even cheaper? I can already fly to Malaga for £30 return.

                    i think the american political circles refer to the these "events" as the "october surprise", there is always something last minute that will influence elections
