Reuters reports that zee frogs want in on zee fun. France is apparently planning to propose at a meeting of European Union countries this weekend that the bloc offer a 300 billion euro ($424.4 billion) rescue package. Germany is said to be against it.
Update: French economic minister Lagarde denies the existence of this plan. Which proves nothing.

Dennis Kneale’s genius should be freed up to pursue other ventures. Or perhaps to spend more time with his family.
He shouldn’t be tied down by being on air for CNBC.
(and “first”?)
Cant wait to see these countries that hate each other try to agree on how to spend 300Bn. Catfight!
True or false?
Kneale knows his numbers and checks his facts.

No, Kneale was commenting on Ireland’s decision to insure all bank deposits. Bess, you need to get some sleep.
Dear Doctor Ron Paul -
Please seize control of the govt in a bloodless coup. Your country needs you. We need you. America needs you. Women with dirty vaginas need you.
Sincerely,
Ron Paul Supporter
It is simply amazing Dennis Kneale remains at CNBC.
P.S. love the tag
They were speaking about this on Bloomberg last night. It was a headline in the french papers and they seemed to indicate it was a done deal.

@10
We still don’t care about your shitty trade.
(jackass)
Any credibilty to this? Its from his latest newsletter which came out today.
Seems a bit off the wall.
I know it was late but on Bloomberg she was holding up the paper and saying that the French were guaranteeing their banks.
@11 – short US Calvary stocks and wagon makers, long Native Americans and tee-pee/longhouse makers and wampaum printers, long feather pluckers/birds
@ #12
I just started my investing career this week, though I’ve been in PE/banking for years. woot…?
@3 – Is that the criteria determining who gets that chair? Cause there’s college grads who know their numbers and check their facts.
And I’ve seen no great indication that he knows his numbers.
What if we call in and tell him to please hold for Neil Patrick Harris.. Now he might just be a while because he’s finishing working out, but please hold on because NPH really wants to talk to him.
That should keep him off air for about a week.
Maybe in that time we can find someone else who knows their numbers and checks their facts.
@ 13… what!?

#16:
Good for you. This is not the place to brag about your lame trades, though.
No. 13, you are kidding right?
@4
That’s Great!
Quickie is on the phone with Buffet. Why does Buffet keep calling this “an economic Pearl Harbor”?
13: They. Don’t. Dare. They never dared, but especially not five weeks from Election Day. Every single incumbent would be voted out of office and then when they returned to their districts, torn apart by rampaging mobs. That’s “Clinton will declared an emergency and invalidate the election” tinfoil hat conspiracy bullshit.
That Bank Holiday shit might have flown for FDR when people still used cash, but most people don’t have a hundred bucks in currency on ‘em. The country would descend into chaos in two days.
@22
Because it’s all the fault of the Japanese, and because the President will use this as an excuse to declare war on Germany. Duh.
@13
ron paulian hoax to inspire run on banks?
@13
Jim Willie sells gold and his hat trick newsletters are available with subscription only.
I think his website was made by an 8 year old.
@26,
a retarded 8 year old.
@23 excellent point. LOL.
Never thought of it that way.
@13 saying, whew!
Now for the Senate vote.
I hate the French
