the big difference between trading europe and investing in europe, let's start with that. >> europe haseen a good trade. we have been long on european bonds, that the idea is that i am buying european assets because the ecb is protecting me . it has been a good trade. are you investing in europe, are you opening a factory, are you going to france and buying a house? >> know, personally i am not. >> there are a lot of obstacles, bankruptcy regimes that are very inefficient and labor laws that make it hard to higher. there are a lot of obstacles to real investment. ireland and spain have done the right reforms but apart from that other countries are uninvestible from a long-term perspective. just ine seen this not the general economy but the corporate sector as well. >> hoarding cash. >> or they borrow in the debt market or by back stock or issuing debt for tax efficiencies. how does this change? >> this changes by reforming the legal system and the labor markets, which is a long-term story but we have commitment from the governments. you do not need to spend a huge amount of money today.
