Greece Defaults
'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

No way.
Germany are just playing games.
The Euro is Germany's control over Euroland, they won't let it fall to bits no matter what the financial cost. -
It's all part of the game plan - Germany is the market maker and they are using it to get one back at dirty spekulants who go from one direction to another.
HFT chaps will soon be funding singularity research in order to get decisive advantage over human rivals.Comment

Dress it up how you like, there is no way Greece can become solvent within the euro, and no way the Germans will support them for much longer.Comment

Let's say Greece defaults ... tough tulip - it won't leave euro zone, just those who were too ****ing stupid to lend them money (especially recently) will have to deal with losses, probably 30-50%, not too bad especially if longer term restructuring is offered.
Now banks that hold that tulip might need to be bailed out again but that would be individual problem for countries where those banks are located - should have bloody supervised them better!
Ironically weak euro benefits Germany most as they are proper exporter.Comment
