The Greek Demonstrations Will Slow Down Dramatically!

Everybody thinks that the Greek demonstrations will continue. I am going to say they will slow down dramatically. Reason? In einem tödlichen Inferno eskalierten die Proteste in Griechenland.

Moody’s, Fitch’s and S&P Ratings Are Being Disingenuous

So here we go Portugal is placed on review for downgrade. Moody’s Investors Service said it has put Portugal’s Aa2 government bond ratings on review for possible downgrade, while the government’s Prime-1 short-term rating was affirmed.

I Think Greece Will Default, But The Euro Will Survive Nicely!
