I think Lucinda’s confidence or certainty is something to be very worried about.
To me, this suggests that the the government will agree to convert the promissory notes into bone fide sovereign debt with an interest rate similar to the rate charged by the EFSF (i.e. around 3%), even though the effective interest on the prom notes is around 1% (as noted by Karl Whelan and others).
This would be a disaster, but would be sold by the likes of Creighton as a marvellous victory for the government.

Good overview of ECB state of play here [h/t nakedcapitalism
Is the ECB Ready and Able to Cross the Rubicon?
The big news of the day on Thursday was Mario Draghi’s pronouncement that the ECB would do “whatever it takes” to shore up the Euro. He also used the same phrases about the need to keep the monetary channel open prior to preceded previous interventions. Two-year Spanish bond yields, which had risen to unprecedented levels, came in by over 150 basis points and global stock markets rallied.
But how seriously should we take this talk? While the ECB is the only actor that can buy the Eurozone enough time for the member states to put in place the needed fixes (and bear in mind there is no guarantee that process will be a success), even measures the Eurocrats appeared to think were on the “shock and awe” scale fizzled. For instance, the ECB’s last big intervention, the LTRO, was a back-door bailout to sovereigns (banks could borrow at 1% from the LTRO and buy sovereign paper at much higher yields). Even Euroskeptics thought the LTRO would buy the Eurozone 12 to 18 months of breathing room. Instead, its impact had worn off within three months.
“The problem with banks is that they tend to blow up on a regular basis. That’s because bankers are playing with other people’s money (OPM). They consistently abuse the privilege and shirk their fiduciary responsibilities. Whenever they get into trouble, government regulators scramble to bail them out first and then scramble to regulate them more strictly. Without fail, the bankers respond to tougher rules by using some of the OPM to hire financial engineers and political lobbyists to figure out ways around the new regulations.
Some obvious conclusions
*the Judge enjoys grandstanding-not unknown among mi lords
*the cost to tax payers of bailing out banks would escalate. I think Spain plans to impose up to 50bn of losses on subbies in some unknown fashion. So the putative Spanish bailout (denied of course) escalates to 400bn plus.
*those that pointed out that imposing losses on the bondholders was easy were somewhat mistaken.
It is getting to the point where the only two workableoptions are i)break up the EZ and end the European Project ii) ECB buys trillions of short dated bonds -sovereigns et al and swaps them for perpetual low coupon consols or “war loans” thus reducing the NPV of the debt. The QPQ for this would be zero deficits.
If it is not ii) then i) becomes operative and the continent of Europe will be in flames for the third time in a century.

Draghi’s Pledge
ECB Divided over Efforts to Save Euro
By Sven Böll, Michael Sauga and Anne Seith
ECB head Mario Draghi wants to save the euro at all costs. But the pledge has created discord within the bank’s governing council. Many oppose plans to buy up sovereign bonds from troubled euro-zone member states, fearing it could just make things worse.
It was an illustrious meeting that British Prime Minister David Cameron was hosting on the evening before the opening of the Olympic Games in London. Prince Charles joked with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde, while top chef Tom Aikens served up Scottish salmon and Yorkshire goat cheese. The heads of global corporations like Google enthusiastically applauded the videotaped appearances of English celebrities, from Victoria Beckham to Richard Branson.
It was meant to be a day of glamour, but then Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), made a seemingly trivial remark — but one that ensured that the 200 prominent guests were swiftly brought back to gloomy reality. His organization, he promised, would do “whatever it takes to preserve the euro.”
The audience treated the remark as just another platitude coming from a politician. But international financial traders understood it as an announcement that the ECB was about to buy up Italian and Spanish government bonds in a big way. So they did what they always do when central banks suggest they might soon be firing up the money-printing presses: They clicked on the “buy” button.
…
Not surprisingly, Draghi’s most recent plan is being viewed critically in Germany, by monetary watchdogs and politicians alike. Carsten Schneider, the parliamentary budget expert for the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), calls the plan an “unconditioned and unauthorized intervention.” Critics are also speaking out within the governing coalition, made up of Merkel’s center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the business-friendly Free Democratic Party (FDP). Norbert Barthle, the CDU’s chief budgetary expert, says that it is “not the central bank’s job to buy up government debt.” And his colleague with the CSU, Hans Michelbach, is “speechless that Draghi is catering to the comprehensive-coverage mentality of the southern countries.” For this reason, says Michelbach, the euphoria in the markets could “quickly turn into depression once again.”
That’s the tragic aspect of Draghi’s rescue idea: What is intended to keep the monetary union together could actually drive it even further apart.

Juncker Says Crisis Has Reached ‘Decisive Point’
A decisive point had been reached in the euro crisis and EU leaders and the European Central Bank must use all means at their disposal to rescue the currency, euro-group head Jean-Claude Juncker warned on Monday. He also confirmed plans to buy bonds from struggling member states.
…
The statements were a sign that last week’s events in financial markets had rattled EU leaders.
According to information obtained by SPIEGEL, the planned bond-buying operation by the ECB and EFSF will work as follows:
• The bailout fund will purchase bonds directly from the government in so-called primary market purchases that central banks are forbidden to undertake.
• The ECB will buy government bonds from banks or investment funds in the so-called secondary market in order to push down market interest rates.
The aim of the operation is to double the EU’s firepower in the fight against the debt crisis.
…
He said Germany was partly to blame for the escalating crisis. The country was affording itself “the luxury to conduct domestic policy regarding euro issues,” he alleged. In an indirect criticism of German Economy Minister Philipp Rösler, who said last week that a Greek exit had lost its “horrors,” Juncker said “chit chat” about a Greek exit wasn’t helpful.
The truth lies, one would imagine, somewhere beteen the two. Feldstein’s approach, however, seems more rooted in the real world and a better indicator for likely future developments.

The ontologically challenged market fundamentalist and financial system skewed Professor Feldstein has been anti-Euro ab initio and his assertion that:

might well have been written by Dear Lorenzo as both strolled the corridors of philistine power in Harvard. He is simply spinning the ‘feckless peripheral’ thesis which leads to the idiocy of the ‘conflationist fallacy’ while ignoring the role of unregulated capital flows at the root of the crisis.
