The resilience of Dutch banks Explanation: This expression means that whatever happens, you keep going. My proposal is not literal but I think it expresses the same. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 18 mins (2014-03-03 11:43:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- More literal: "Dutch banks don't let themselves down" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2014-03-03 11:50:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or, even better I think: Dutch banks don't give up. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days1 min (2014-03-05 11:27:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- After reading the text, I share some more options that come to my mind: Dutch banks won't surrender/capitulate. But I like this one most: Dutch banks won't pull back. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days5 mins (2014-03-05 11:31:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "According to Cramer, the common theme in the market is that the good companies don't pull back." http://www.thestreet.com/story/12016289/1/91video93-quick-ta... |
