I think there's a plan behind this. Especially Germany wants a weak Euro. But they don't seem to see the risks behind this...

A bloody mess it is!
Why is the ECB letting this carry on, why are there no specifics as to when IMF is making their payment why hasn't there been a clear and unanimous decision from the Eurozone so far. Whats taking them so long, this is not just Euro catastrophe its nothing less of a financial melt down in the rest of the markets as well.

well 70% of employed greeks are civil servants it is dangerous to wake a govt employed bureaucrat up
during work hours or rather hours on duty. German cops might soon be seen protesting as arresting themselves mutually... where is Monty Pythons by the way?

I know that the Greek debt could drive the markets but what I did not know was that the Greek protesters could also have same effect. I mean WTF!!!!

it seems to me that protests in Athens are going to get much worse as the day goes on. Huge part of the day is still left, and protesters are not going to get any "happier". Hope that some Greek gov. official is brave enough to address the crowd and come it in some way, 'coz this is getting ugly. There is no way that people are just going to stop and go home to watch some TV. EUR/USD is about to take some serious beating today and in days to come.


there is going to be some more ash, but not from the volcano

EUs Rehn: Confident 110 Bln Euros Will Suffice For Greek Financing Needs In Coming Years

*EU/IMF loan allows Greece to not go to markets for funding in first 2 years
*Deficit levels in EU are worryingly high
*Not going to propose aid mechanism for Spain as there is no need for aid mechanism
*Speculation reaching euphoric levels
*Spain, Portugal taking measures to consolidate public finances
*Greece only EU state which fiddled with statistics
*Euro zone taking care of Greek case, confident will turn things around for Greece
*Agrees with broad thrust of French, German ideas to reinforce EU budget rules
*Greeck growth will slow as a result of consolidation efforts. Greek economy should start growing in 2012
*Stock markets tend to think very short term
*Absolutely essential to contain bush fire in Greece, stop threat to whole EU economy

meanwhile i reached sort of conclusion it is not impossible that someone can be such ignorant but it is not probable enough to take it for granted.
There must be some master plan at work. I will not touch EUR there are plenty of other majors to trade.
