If the stock market recovers today, it will be because of the rumors of a settlement of the Greek crisis.
Above all, the stock market hates uncertainty. A resolution one way or the other would be good for the market. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: More throwing good money after bad. I'm loving it watching this shit unfold every day because you essentially have one socialist asshole (Tsipras/Greece) trying to tell other socialist assholes (the EU) that they need more of their money, thus the EU doesn't like this because they're used to being the ones taking money from productive economies (aka, how socialism really works). It's even funnier because the EU wants to kick Greece out, you can tell just by watching the mannerisms of the EU presidents and their lackeys, Merkel, etc. but they know they can't do this because if they kicked Greece out it'll set precedent for others leaving and socialist assholes don't want that because that's all they're good at: making socialist policies/laws to take other peoples money. That plus they enjoy the socialist circle jerking each other always talking about how awesome they all are, much like any liberal. |

The early stock market rally seems to be fizzling. Maybe the optimism on the Greek situation was premature.
Those who are pointing to the Greek situation as a paradigm for tax and debt policies in other countries are ignorant of Greek history. The lessons there are not transferable. As a matter of fact, the former Greek prime minister, Andreas Papandreou -- an American-trained economist -- made the opposite mistake of trying to apply American lessons to the Greek economy. He ran up debt to fund social programs. Then his successor, Costas Simitis, cemented the disaster by joining the eurozone, which prevented Greece from devaluing its currency and printing money. They overlooked the facts that America has one of the strongest economies in the world, has a strong industrial base, can print unlimited amounts of money, has a gilt-edged credit rating, and has an effective tax system. None of these things apply to Greece. |

Why all the monetary turmoil over Greece ??
I don't think it's all about Greece . But I do believe that it is seen as the nudge that sets other marginal countries on the same path . Spain , Italy , Portugal and some others I'm sure are keeping a close eye on how Greece gets out of this trap . With the thought of using the same escape route if Greece is successful in dodging the creditors . This could all be a case of " we ain't seen nothing yet ". gd |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Let it collapse. This, because the other is worse... EuropeanUnion becomes TransferUnion. Something that will bring envy into the hearts and mind of all hardcore liberals around the world. If that happens, the producer members will be the ones leaving to form the ProducerUnion. When that happens, the TransferUnion will have to figure out how to pay for an economy with limited productivity. We've seen that before, during the cold war era*. It's call communism. So one can sum this up as: ProducerUnion = Free World from that era TransferUnion = Communism from that era Gosh, this all sound familiar and who said history does not repeat itself? *ETA: I realize some were born after the cold war and have not lived during that period that probably peaked in the 70s. |

The problem is not so much Greece, but who owns the Greek debt. You ever heard the saying, “if you owe a bank thousands, you have a problem; owe a bank millions, the bank has a problem”, that's the issue. The Greeks are dead men walking, and when they fall, it will create a shitstorm that will ripple worldwide through the banking system. I smell bailouts and haircuts.

A post-collapse Europe would mean a patchwork of countries ruled by Communist and Nazi dictatorships, spoiling to go to war with one another.

There is zero point in trying to build up the Greek economy to pay back any further bailouts.
The economy is so underground, and cash-under-the table, Greek tax receipts are dismal, and the snake of the Greek economy can't even eat it's own tail Keynesian style anyway. Doesn't matter how long the terms are, or how low the interest rate is, unless it's negative, and the rest of the EU actually pays Greece to take the money, they will not ever pay back whatever they're given.

The Russians and Greeks already announced a tentative agreement for a pipeline through Greece (thus avoiding the Ukraine) a couple of weeks ago. My guess is that Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and the former Warsaw Pact countries, not to mention Germany, are a tad nervous at the idea of Greece falling under Putin's spell in return for keeping the welfare state alive. If yet another bailout package is pushed through at the 11th hour, I won't be at all surprised for the pipeline deal to quietly disappear. Potential sacrificial pawn. |
