More Bad News For Greece: Bailout Rate Now Rumored At 6% For Up To 3 Years

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Forget the earlier disclosure about low Greek bailout rates. According to more recent headlines, the loan will be 6% for three years, 7% if longer. This means there is no bailout as Greece can not sustain those kinds of rates, and the EU is merely buying itself time to prepare for the imminent unwind of the EMU.

Any signs of Greek pitchforks?

 

And 99% of Americans don't have a clue...

Lulz-phucking-lulz.  Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.  This Club Med soap opera is so freaking tired.  I'm going to love watching the next 3 days, weeks or months of this burning bag of dog shit.

One question: If any of this is the least bit possible, why is there no sign of it in the markets as we post?

No news is good news.

Said it before and will say it again, they will eventually split the eurozone in two, roughly a 'north' and 'south' zone.  That means the currency as well.  Won't be greece that does it but it is the first domino.

North =  fiscally responsible countries

South = the PIIGS?

Geographically speaking, very different N and S as we've come to know them. Maybe all bad debt should be dumped on Italy and Greece and have them make up the bad South of the EU

First off, I was literally in withdrawal while ZH was down...
I was on floor, covered in sweat, rocking back and forth in the fetal position and I'm pretty sure I shit myself. I found solace in power cave pic and decided the only way out was to go into my cave.... I closed my eyes and saw the American tax payer bent over with a gag ball in his mouth Ving Rhames/ Pulp Fiction style. Big Ben Bernanke was standing behind him, fully naked. Ben B. looked up at me and said...... Slide....

TD you sadistic bastard, you can't do this to us....

one would think the DXY would be parabolic on this news.... Buy???

6%?!?!?!  Oh, the humanity!!!  Somebody call the whambulance.

OTOH, fuck the rent seeking money-out-of-thin-air banks.  It took no work to create the money being lent, so why should anyone have to work to pay it off?  I feel sorry for no one.  I don't care anymore.

Should I buy a 2 year CD from ally back and get 1.99% or buy a 3 year greek bond and get 6%.  So many good choices.

Ultimately we all know that the Greek bomb has been dropped from the plane; the only real question is the blast radius. The ECB meetings will produce something tangible, watch.

It will be tangible for Germany and a few others, but not Greece.  I still say that they are calling Greeces prime ministers bluff and letting him call in the IMF.  They know that Greece doesn't want the IMF even with those low interest rates compared to the 6% from the EU if given.  They are afraid of the austerity and control that will come from the IMF officials that will essentially have control of Greek banks and govt. spending and will have the ability to make them do the measures they come up with.  Those dealing with IMF know it's a deal with the devil and Pompanos knows it and the other countries know it because they put money into the IMF fund.

It might also mean that Greece will not use the rescue funds after all.
