Fred, if you keep using a comma (,) where an apostrophe (') is supposed to be, I am going to give you an infraction!

It means very little, but Spain, Italy and Portugal are going to mean much more.

The dominoes are starting to fall. And all of the kings horses and all of the kings men can't put Humptey Dumptey together again.

Any article that claimed that a worse case scenario in relation to Greece is a 'systemic crisis' is full if it... The whole world is saying what if what if. NO. It is after the fact. Greece's banks have lost 50% of deposits over the last 10 years in some sort of bizarre slo-mo bank run. I'm not being fatalistic or a scaremonger but I really have trouble formulating a scenario where the Euro doesn't partially collapse.

Wouldn't the 'banking sector' and mankind in general be better off planning for this eventuality rather than speculating in what seems inevitable... ?

Interesting poll.
Eastday-Over 80% of Greeks reject Greek exit from euro: polls
Goes to show that a small minority is trying to stick it to the majority of the populace.
I,m of the opinion that all of this drama may be much ado about nothing in the end.
