"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know.

In part whether or not Italy has to exit depends on the ECB, at least in the short term. Who will blink first was Nouriel Roubini's question, and I think it still remains a valid one.
