    Sometimes I truly wonder if those who make broad proclamations of "the coast is clear", "everybody is safe", and "all is calm on the western (European) front" ever took the time to glean the facts and evidence before makings such a proclamation. Here is HARD evidence that easily shows that the Greek crisis is FAR from over. I welcome anyone and everyone to challenge the evidence and/or prove otherwise.

    We think that China is an indestructible economic juggernaut but its economy is very fragile and it is sitting on a property bubble which will burst. What China does in response has major implications for their economy and the rest of the world. This is the first part of a three-part series on this topic.

Not looking good for UBS. Their wealth management division (the heart of the beast) bleeding internally.......

"Wall Street eyed a higher open on Tuesday as speculation that debt-burdened Greece would get help from the European Union bolstered sentiment...Talk of a rescue for Greece was spurred by news that European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet was leaving a meeting of central bankers in Sydney early to attend a European Union leaders' summit...EU officials later clarified that Trichet's early return to Europe had long been planned."

In other words, this excuse for a higher open this morning doesn't make sense, but we'll use it anyway.

how does "helping" Greece with more aid ie debt help anything at all?

Surely much too debt is the problem so how will more debt help? Assuming this is the case

I can't see german taxpayers GIVING money away

Trichet flys commercial? He moved up his flight "so he would not miss a connection". Why the heck does he fly commercial?
