In Thread: EUR
Greek CDS/yields at levels that call for immediate IMF/EU assistance or collapse is inevitable.
Very likely Greece will get some aid tomorrow sort of bridge. I don't believe EU allows default.
At least not now. Must come up with some workaround to legal constraints or risk open questioning whether the Euro construct is viable at all. Greece is just a TINY headwind! And Eur is a POLITICAL construct and hence political currency. That is the core of EU's problem euro was designed like a machine on a drawing board but without instruction manual how to fix it in case of malfunction ... that is politics at its best.

The leverage remains constant over time there is no loss and no omega theta .... only leverage.
The disadvantage it loses all value if the knockout barrier is hit or crossed. There is no margin call, however. Contracts for difference ( CFD) are cheaper ( the spread is smaller) but these have the risk of margin calls. basically if you buy a 100:1 knockout turbo or CFD for 1 k you actually move 99k credit.

It does only good for USD and GBP if the EUR crises is established as a permanent but contained
crisis. I don't bet on EUR falling below 1.30 USD.
