Quote from C6H12O6:
in the past 2/3 years I have learnt not to believe to anything written in english about the eurozone and the euro![]()

Buy the rumor...sell the news? This is oooold news!!
Dont't worry, Greece will NOT default anytime soon!! Instead, they might have SD (selective default) which will be to he people's expense.
This is expected, part of the plan, and mostly priced-in already
...the Cleary team that will be working on Greece will be headed by Lee Buchheit, the partner who has previously represented Iceland, Argentina, etc, etc. Trusted by distressed governments, cursed by former optimists with long positions, his is the mobile number of choice for sovereigns that believe they have unsustainable debt burdens.
In an Ideal World, Kafka would restructure Greece
Quote from trefoil:
Greek debt is mostly covered by Greek law. They could decide, tomorrow, to restructure the whole thing and no one would have a legal say in it. All the stuff going on until now is happening because Greece has voluntarily decided it wants to stay in the euro. Well, the people running it have.
Of course, there's also Portugal, and up there in the major leagues, Spain and then Italy.
The markets have finally figured out the banks are the ones who've really been getting bailed out all along, anyway. Things are getting more and more dicey out there...
Quote from morganist:
Why would it default this weekend. They have been bailed out sufficiently to next year. It is 2014 that is the big issue now.
