They've kicked the can down the road for this weekend so watch for financial fireworks next week.

This article was written by one of the muslim invaders so that must be taken into consideration.

Or. “Eventually you run out of other people’s money.”

When you do, you either pay the piper or go take somebody else’s money by force. Which isn’t really an option for the Greeks.

This isn't on the US media, seems kind of strange that every time there is news of the coming collapse of the financial system we have a kid, high on prescribed mind altering drugs, killing a bunch of people.

With a lot more needed, the ECB will grow more hesitant to pump in new money unless the Greek government secures an agreement with ........


Oh, please. This charade has been going on for 6 years now. The Greek government is not going to stick to any agreement they make. The common sense thing to do would be to let ‘em default, exit the Eurozone and move on.

But I predict that won’t happen. Everyone is terrified of the consequences of any country leaving the Eurozone. So the charade (bailouts) will continue.

Per capita debt places Greece at #12 in the global scorecard. The US is # 3 thanks to Obama and the GOPe.

My best guess is the EU will cave. They are, after all, just cheese-eating surrender monkeys in the end.

Mohammed El-Erian is from the Muslim faith (whether or not he is one is a different question), and he is also a liberal (at the very least closely associated with Obama). However, he is also someone who is taken VERY seriously in investment circles, and his views on a matter are considered important. Not only was he heading PIMCO (which had a couple trillion - that's a T - dollars of assets under management), but he has headed Harvard's endowment program, and been a top dog at both Citi and the IMF.

My point is that his views are not careless mutterings in the dark.

With that said, Greece is in terrible trouble, and lots of people will lose money in the next 48 hours (and lots of people will make money too ...I have a play that I hope will put me in the latter group).

Greece has repeatedly refused the austerity package that would be required to get them back on their feet. They are not going to do it. Greece is the first country that will leave the EU. They will go back on the Drachma and it will take them 10-15 years to make any meaningful recovery. The EU is going to break up its just a matter of what moment in time or more likely a slow unraveling as the weakest countries exit one at a time.
