Jaws smells Greek blood

Counterpunch: The economic velociraptors

Why Greece and why now? Because it's the Greeks' turn to be hunted by the shark pack (i.e. the usual Wall Street suspects masquerading as "investors" "concerned" about Greek debt). There's big money to be made on their bets about Greek bonds. In the prelude to the feeding frenzy the sharks are even biting each other.

They've defaulted before and 'they'll default again. All but one country in Europe has defaulted before on debt, and that is when they controlled their own currencies. Their children won't care.

Would these investment banks be able to do this without CDSs? The whole idea that you can insure yourself against another party's risk seems screwy - even without actively attempting to undermine the the party.

Therein lies the crux.....everyone Lab/Con red blue, seems to think we can polish up this steaming pile of crepe of a Finacial System, and carry on to regain the 'good times'

PS. the real reason Coco's mono-syllabic, baldly partisan tripe is responded to.....Give old Broon a break
