Meanwhile, In Greece...
The Greek stock market - seemingly unbreakable in its animal spirits that recovery is right around the corner for the increasingly depressed nation - has collapsed over 4% today, its largest plunge in 5 months. Being relatively illiquid, it is not clear what the catalyst is (one hedge fund exiting?) but the tensions growing in the fragile Greek coalition (over Venezuela-style controls on medicine prices) perhaps raise the specter of the worst possible scenario - political uncertainty. Also, quietly and behind the scenes, the extremely illiquid Greek bond market has seen prices drop to 6-week lows (yields 90bps higher in the last 3 weeks).

O/T, but why isn't this bigger news?

Well this should increase the HIV infection rate....in fact, if one opts to inject Ebola instead, is there any benefit increase??
Re: O/T, but why isn't this bigger news?
Probably for the same reason the Irish morons who ran Chicago & Boston used to send arms to their "freedom fighters" buddies in Northern Ireland for their "heroic" fight against English oppression.
There are nationalist assholes everywhere.
What's your excuse?

edit: Why don't both you red buggers go sit crosslegged from each other and play mumbly peg in the buff, bastards!
Still too high at 1
Looks like the ASI has AIDS.
Going long on hypodermic needles.
Maybe the WHO announcement that Greek HIV rates have exploded since the crisis, due in part to self-infection, to get on welfare. I'd guess they are just getting enterprising doctors to diagnose them with HIV, a little like our setup with "disability"
The enterprising WHO diagnosed half of Africa with HIV.
Counting any and all diseases to do with the immune system
like Hepatitis or hundreds of nasty unhealthy conditions
unknown of in the west.
President of South Africa publicly states the AIDS scare
is on fake scientific explanation.
Huge industry evolved around AIDS, surpassing the foreign aid industry with her colonial intent and purpose.
Sexual orientation disorder taken off the list of diseases
instead , hence to be promoted as a way of life for slaves.
BREAKING: GREEK STOCK MARKET TRADING WHERE IT WAS 2 DAYS AGO.. TWO DAYS AGO!!
I would be more impressed by an article explaining why it's gone up 4% this week before crashing ...
The blow off phase is blowing up.
winning!
Isn't it interesting that all this bail-in, capital confiscation, market and currency manipulation etc, etc is done in countries with neither the will or might to fight back.
Sure we get the occasional protest in the park, but no real, prolonged and meaningful resistance to this tyrannical central banking.
Is this going to be the slow slide into oblivion we are seeing played out in the US and EU?
The only real upset comes from the FSA and EBT crowd, not those who are footing the bill.
DaddyO
Why protest or fight when you can keep quiet and search for ways to cheat the government. No matter what system you set up it ends up poking you in the arse.
Will work for gold is what I'm planning on.
That ,and hiding in plain sight.
has john stamos been notified?
All pharmaceutical and medical corporations should be publicly owned and operated. The same with the energy corporations and banks should be outlawed because they have no beneficial social function and only seek to destroy society. The Food suppliers should also be publicly owned and operated. FRAUD and Bribery will be punishible by public hanging
Re: publicly owned and operated
How would that keep the sociopaths in check? The sociopaths have already proven they can infest public companies.
You need a "system" that has some chance of addressing the reality that sociopaths exists in huge numbers and have an advantage over the normal losers who aren't sociopaths.
Take your facist/socialist/communist claptrap to Huffpo or Yahoo, it doesn't work here.
Publically owned and operated has never worked and only leads to human misery, just more of what we've had since the advent of Central Planning, Banking and Control.

Re; Publically owned and operated has never worked and only leads to human misery
That's what I said. The sociopaths have proven they will infest public companies as well as private companies. I told him to find a system that controls the sociopaths.
Most societies can't figure out how to control their sociopaths, which is why they eventually are run by the sociopaths.
Exactly correct. Sociopaths can only be controlled by a robust rule of law that stems from inalienable human rights, ie. like our constitution. But even that will be exploited by sociopaths at every turn to weaken it, confuse it's meaning and exploit it's loopholes until it is meaningless at it's ability to control the sociopaths. We are rapidly reaching that point. The end result is all great civilizations collapse and have to be rebuilt. Those that control their sociopaths to some extend thrive for a while, but eventually sociopaths always seem to win out. Bummer, but true.
I would change it slightly to say that pharmaceutical and medical corporations should be run like utilities - private companies but regulated in terms of what they do and what they charge. Medical companies should not be incentivized to maximize profits.
What utility ? As a Spanish proverb says :
" Where there are no doctors nor pharmacists , people die of old age" !!!
I mean treat it like the electric company or the gas company.
Big corporations with monopolies in those fields should be
dismantled and done away with, whether your "publicly owned" involves .gov or a publicly traded company.
Bust the trusts.
Go greek, baby!
Much prefer tall, scandinavian blonde babes myself. Married one!
Buggery is buggery no matter what flavor...

Greek women are plagued by the "dumpy disease". They are thin, stylish, and good-looking when they are young. In their late 30's, early 40's they transition into dumpy babooshkas. Same thing happens to latinas.
Anthropologists and Ethnologists would have a tale to tell
if they were allowed to these days. Biologists will attest
that interbreeding is indeed possible without further comment.
The affects you describe are all related to the breeding
habits of the ancestors of the peoples you described.
... or indulgence in cholesterol rich food and indolent life style attribute to excess production of adipose tissue.
must be fears of the German Wehrmacht percolating with investors again. God forbid if there is even an attempt at defending one'e borders. Not like we do it in the USA...although at least we're talking about it. let me guess..."it's not about Greek border problems though."
"Hail Nuttyahoo" doesn't exactly have that ring to it.
coming to a nation near you. er, this nation, near us.
How does the Greek stock market track to The Fed's balance sheet?
Better get that "Blue Flag" military exercise that the U.S. and Israel are currently orchestrating finished up soon so that the "Judas payout" to the Greek government can be distributed before "Fit-Hits-the-Shan".
Looks like a gap fill to me. Buy buy buy.......I'm Jim Cramer and I endorse this message.
Pump and dump with a very short life span. Easy to do in an illiquid market. Did they find buyers in 2 days for the Greek crap papers?
Fuck, I just find the idea that Greece even HAS a bond market fucking hilarious. At this point, after at least 3 fucking years of demonstrated insolvency and inability to repay, who the fuck is still lending Greece money?
The U.S. MIC is.
Don't need no fucking oily Greek bastards or there Feta cheese. Just the turf they occupy!
I wou;dn't expect them to pay for it, though.
You would if you needed stability to do your "military thing" in a bankrupt economy that is screaming for help.

Greece is just the control du jour, it could/will be your country next...
It is happening here in the US, just not blatantly enough to stir up any animous.

Oh well, with French investment bank Natixis publishing the following on Venezuela;
"In the case of Venezuela the risk is purely political and economic. While it is
difficult to imagine more erratic economic policies, the scarcity of basic
goods, violence and social tensions are basically a ticking time bomb."
the Venezuela Stock Market is now up 402% for the year to date in bolivar terms.
Bad news is ........
In bolivar terms

I forgot. Did Hugh Hendry go long Greece last week?
Relax, it's ThanksTaking Season.
Investors are taking their fiat currency out of the Greek stock market, and are putting it into US government debt.
Out of the frying pan; into the fire.
Greece is on track. The only problem is that is running out of track.
