Who Really Cares About Grexit Anyway?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Google Trends and Bloomberg News Counts show that interest in "Grexit" is at its highest since mid-2012 - the peak of the previous European crisis before Draghi said "whatever it takes" and Juncker said everything is awesome. However, as the following chart shows, not everyone cares about Grexit (especially when there's Kim Kardashian on TV)...

 

Bloomberg News "Grexit" Story Count shows interest at extremes...

 

and Google Trends indicates the same...

 

But, under the hood, there is one region that is thoroughly dis-interested...

 

Well it was The Grammy's...

 

Charts: UBS, Google, Bloomberg

You mean "uninterested". "Disinterested" is more like an impartial observer than somebody who doesn't have any interest.

If Greece falls out of the Euro and no one hears it does it still make a sound?

I don't care unless Dear Leader Obama decides to take money from me to send to fat Greek asses sitting on their couches not working.

It’s not disinterest, it’s the fact that everybody already knows how it will end.

Greece will get money they way they want it, money for free and foregiveness or ierest free loans.

People are so sick of all of this and they know the game is rigged.

Rien va plus but after that... there’s just another game that will start and the ball will keep rolling and rolling untill it breaks.

I think even a movie but it could have been in one of her movings.  Or, it could have been in one of her movements depending on what she had to eat that day.

Everybody has already pulled out of Greece.  No threat.   Grexit = bullish.  A great dip to buy.

Those United States iPhone zombies think "Grexit" is a new drug or brand of ribbed condom.

Socrates.

 

"We are all enslaved to shadows on a wall with a great flame and actors providing the illusion of action."

 

GREECE DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE THE MARKET ITSELF IS A FICTION.

 

"If we leave this cave the truth will be so bright it will blind us."

Because  the general public has no idea that this Greek "thing" is even going on. Yahoo news has the improtant stuff out and that ain't on the list. Coupled with the fact that even if they did know they don't care. It is not happening here. For the ones that are paying any attention they expect some last minute bullshit deal to "save" them will be pulled out of some banksters a$$.

Same old shit, different day!

I wonder who searched the term "grexit" in google inside the US. The zerohedge gang knows better than to use google as a search engine.

Greek/EU deal in the making?????????????????????????

http://www.keeptalkinggreece.com/2015/02/09/greeces-10-reforms-bridge-pr...

"Something is moving towards an agreement with the Eurogroup partners with Greece reportedly to prepare a bridge program until August. Greek media report Monday afternoon about a “ten reforms plan” in order to cover some parts of the current bailout program and that Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis works out the compromise plan on the basis of letter by European from Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, that the Greek side considers as “first sign of good intention from Brussels.” For Juncker’s proposal see below."
