I thought it had just got noisy again with Spain?
I still stand by my view that at the moment the volcano is smoking - we will see real action in the 2nd half of 2012. -
Not over by a long shot IMHO.
As BP says Spain has some issue recently and their bond prices are up above 6%.
Greece will be back on the cards at some point as I don't think the ECB payout is the long term solution.
Portugal still has issue, but always a case of whoever is in the most trouble is the headline. Was Italy, then Greece and now Spain. Portugal to come?Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Not only is it smoking, but there's a nasty looking bulge on it..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
