    Is there a web site to view daily Greece CDS and their bond yield?

    5y Greece Sov CDS: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=CGGB1U5:IND There's a way to get the bond yield similar to the above, but I don't know the ticker (it's not the same as on a normal BBG). So use the FT instead: http://markets.ft.com/RESEARCH/Markets/Government-Bond-Spreads

    huge inflation without wage increases in vietnam - How?

    I don't benchmark myself to Jim Rogers, so why should I care whether I have made more or less than him? As to my results, I fear that will be difficult, due to a difference in context. You're gonna have to take my word for it (or not, as the case may be) that I do all right for myself.

    huge inflation without wage increases in vietnam - How?

    Well, both numbers are published. I really don't see how you can blame anyone, be it the media or the government, for "conveniently" eliminating the upside volatility. I am always happy to give the BPP data due credit, while acknowledging its limitations. As to the massaging and...

    huge inflation without wage increases in vietnam - How?

    And? What's your point? Jim Rogers can talk his book all he likes, it doesn't make what he says into the truth. What peil says is simply false. You may disagree with the calculation methodology, but to claim food and energy prices are not included in the headline CPI is just silly...

    Atheists break into church and steal art supplies from Christian children.

    Seriously, peil, what's with this whole gay atheist thing? You don't actually know anything about these supposed thieves. Sorta makes me think you're a latent gay atheist yourself, to be brutally honest. No offense intended, just an observation.

    greek and southern european debt

    I know that private banks definitely offer stuff. I can't find a way to do it through an ETF or anything like that. I am sorry I can't be of more help.

    greek and southern european debt

    I imagine that people like Fidelity or Charles Schwab can offer some stuff. If you're not interested in that, you may want to look at Eurex BTP futures (which I think is offered by IB now) or the various iShares ETFs, although I don't think the latter offer anything periph-specific.

    Easiest method to short the Euro?

    Nobody knows and anything is possible. Will depend on what exactly happens. Maybe the ETF prospectus covers that eventuality, but suppose the new Euro is the old Euro - the PIIGS?

    Greek sovereign exposures by counterparty country

    Well, the ECB is, in fact, funding Greek banks using GGBs as collateral. However, technically GGBs are money good at the moment. Moreover, the ECB is imposing haircuts, which are relatively punitive.

    Greek sovereign exposures by counterparty country

    You can find the numbers here: http://www.bis.org/statistics/consstats.htm Not sure what you mean by Greek debt as collateral against new loans to Greece. That's not really what's happening, unless I misunderstand your meaning.
