Quote Of The Day: "All EMU States Except Greece Oppose Debt Haircut"
The wunder-farce continues as hope remains that an accord on Greece can be reached this evening. German Finance Minister Steffen Kampeter believes "Greece has delivered" as pledged on reforms but, unlike the rest of the rational mathematics-capable free-world, believes that Greece can bridge its fiscal gap without a writedown, adding that:
- *KAMPETER SAYS GREEK OSI WOULD MARK `END OF GERMAN SOLIDARITY'
- *KAMPETER SAYS 16 [of 17!] EURO STATES REJECT GREEK OSI WRITEDOWN
Will beggars become choosers once again this evening?

Yeah well if they give one to Greece, then Spain, Portugal, Italy and others will ask for one too down the line... can't have that! Even if most of that ``debt`` was really a check to the banksters.
You give a mouse a cookie...
Beware the Fischer-Bernanke-Evans Trifecta of speeches tomorrow Mr. Bear.
Not to worry, we will give in on America's debt also.
O, and China, Japan, and ...
Codependency.
The algos will get a good headline today but the reality will be more can kicking.
Final solution will be to give Greece 100yr repayment schedule with more loans built in up front.
In other news, Facebook goes complete retard (again) on the same day as mobile ad block pro gets released.
If the do come to an accord they better well break out in a Greek Accord Gangnam Style mash up.
So we had a story on here about how Black Friday sales were down as a result of retailers cannibalizing sales because of grey Thursday. Now we hear that the overall sales for the 4 day weekend were up a whopping 12.8%, but not a peep of it on ZH? Why? How about some balanced reporting?
ZH is not supposed to be "balanced," but to represent the views of ZH.
Got it. Only negative news reported on ZH so we can get the obligatory "It's going down, bitchez!" comments. Thanks for the reminder. I will read the positive spin BS from CNBC, then balance that with the negative spin BS from ZH and make a determination, just like I do with FOX and MSNBC for political news. BS one one side and BS on the other.
You are supposed to get your news from a variety of sources. Where's the news in that?
'Sales' were up? Means nothing in itself. What are you, manager of a Wal*Mart?
"Now we hear that the overall sales for the 4 day weekend were up a whopping 12.8%"drilling down deeper into the AP(All Propaganda?) story, from:
Holiday shopping season off to record startI wonder how this year compares to the 2007 seasonal retail madness...
Maybe you should dig a little deeper into the headline number. Sales don't mean anything if you have to give away the product to get people into the stores. I also recommend that you read the Zero Hedge conflicts disclosure policy

Thanks good Dr. A truly worthwhile read.
Ho ho ho... What a tool!
I imagine Germany and the rest of the Nordic countrys are trying to figure out when enough is enough. Remember, they are bleeding cash too.
But the book value of their "investments" has been steadily increasing, like in best days prior to 2007!
Wasn't Greece supposed to run out of money like 2 weeks ago? Well, did it? Maybe they stopped paying people and I missed that. Or maybe the deadline was fake, like so many deadlines are.
Color me unimpressed, unsurprised, and very jaded. They'll get their money and we'll do it all over again in 6 months.
I've gotten so comfortable with this cycle it probably means it's about over!
Kampeter btw is not German Finance Minister but just a Vice Minister (Staatssekretär).
Watching EURO's deal with Greek debt is like watching the Wile Coyote racing to the edge of the cliff...we all know whats coming next but its so fun to watch
over it....
dow 36,000.....
Our Irish anti - finance minister was again trying to distance himself and his former country from Greece.
He wants to be one of the boys it seems.
The fucker makes me sick to the pit of my stomach.
The Euro has bred a entire army of Quislings.
Sounds like they are no longer horse trading, but punching Greece into the corner...blame them and queue OMT activation for France.
Boys in Armonk, NY very busy over weekend. Surprised ZH is not on top of it.
Tell us.
Look at MBI today.

DAAAMN son.
Rompi is a fucking moron.
They will cut Greece and the greeks before cutting the debt.
These guys have lost it. They should be recovered in a psychiatric institution, so they can have their meetings and we can move on.
Here we are for yet more edge of our seats high financial cliffhanger drama same as the last few years.
Ah, good old "democracy" - 16 wolves voting they'll have the sheep for dinner.
This Quote, and the sentiment behind it, bring to mind a sixteen person firing squad arranged in a circle, with the condemned standing in the middle. Both condemned and squad know the consequences of their imminent action. The condemned is grinning.
Even SPAIN?!?!? AND IRELAND? AND PORTUGAL?!!!!
or do the bankers get to vote in their place because they're also bankrupt?
lol
you really need to ask?

Greece is leaving patients with alzheimer, kidnies's and other deceases without care and medicines.
Economic darwinism here folks! Don't get sick!
