You are in perfect company. Zero value added. Not one logical talking point. Tsingtao "likes" your eloquent treatise. 5000 posts 23 likes and all from your boy friend Tsingtao ;-)

The only thing I cannot wrap my head around is how someone of the capacity of Martinghoul fits in with you two little love birds.

Could say the same thing about you and your boyfriend d08!

both the Eurocrats and the Greeks have nobody but themselves to blame for their current predicament.

Precisely! There is guilt on both sides!

Absolutely no doubt about that in my mind...

...then at leasts let's get their arse kicked out in the ugliest way imaginable, like for like. After that will Eurocrats be sent for "re-education".

* EU official says Greece deal looking unlikely by tonight*

I guess news headlines will be streaming in for the next few hours prior to the meeting.

No argument here. Greece needs to be kicked out for the betterment of both parties.

None of the markets have cared about anything but going up - regardless of any risk.

Heck, the DAX has already priced in 7 Greece agreements.

DAX is going up, 'cause it's the best hedge for Grexit/risk-off... It makes total sense to buy it.

best hedge? Extremely far fetched...and there is no "best hedge". The best hedge is to reduce or eliminate the original risk. Learned in the first month at the exotic rates desk.
