And no, contrary to reports, this is not an entire opposition party saying it will vote for the austerity package. It is just one person.

Only answer?

Why not fire yourself and 75% of the civil servants. Nobody would notice the difference anyway.

So if the entire party votes for it that should be good for a 300 point ES ramp.  Sweet

Wonder how much the central banksters bribed him (or what evidence they have against him.... read: blackmail).

Well, it's a she, but I can see why you called her him.

I had the same thought. Individuals will be bought until they have enough votes. Same as it ever was....

if the central bankers bribed her, this would indicate a high degree of uncertainty. Why that? They will print the Greek into more debt anyway, if the parliament puppets vote yes or no.

In related news, Greeks just got sold out by a man who is made of the same flesh that is found on female genitals...

The market and Satan are one indeed.

Selling a yes vote as good economic news is criminal. Putting off the inevitable is building a powder keg of unimaginable proportions.

so you all know the big boys to repo 105 and it's end of quarter. the first of the month leads to big gains usually, and the 8th is the roll over for commodtiy funds. all of which give a ramp up reason at this time. not sure why people are wondering. the first five days usually have the majority of the move anyway. we are at day three. so today being up should ramp the futures. I don't get the mystery.

No big deal, her vote.  Looks like the markets knew about the results of today's vote since Monday.  It's a gypsy circus, no offense to the gypsies.  Those of us who try to trade independent of the popular sway are kidding ourselves. Now go count the red bars... and wade into the tide.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to inform you that the current system of greedy banksters and caniving politicians on top and the pleebs being trodden under foot will continue for quite some time.  Invest accordingly.

They stared into the abyss, but the wussy men then did what wussy men always do, kneel and take it good and hard from the germans.

Just goes to show who really rules the world. And its not the politicians and certainly not "the people". It's the bankers!

But I never fail to comprehend how the politicos can be so foolish as to reflexively sell out their citizens!

But what should we expect from a socialist? The whole premise of their existence is to covet and steal on a societal scale. But its clear that the pecking order puts banksters at the top! And it says something also about "the people" who elect such crooks to represent them, expeecting the coveting and stealing in their favor.

Given the "discounting" of money printing going on, it looks to me like the vote will probably fail.  Time will soon tell.

What no one seems to understand is that if the vote is for, The Greek populace may go on the rampage.  Stikes and chaos will continue till the Government resigns.

No way the Greeks will ever pay the Banksters their loot.

Yes Vote= Economic shut down. Angry crowds throwing rocks hardly inspire tourism.

The theatrics are getting more predictable-- much like the policymakers over there in Greece and around the world they all work for the criminal cartel-- the debt debates will take on a surreal spin only to finally be raised once more.

It's not even entertaining anymore-- so we watch the problems getting bigger with no real humor or suspense s'ppose it's time for everyone to watch DWTS.
