And Europe is saved again. Italian 10 year bounces back with a vengance and DOW futures surge into positive territory. Buy the rumor.
Not this one!
Wait for the blood in the streets, and then BTFD in gold and silver.
I believe the standard advice here is: Buy NFLX.
You missed that opportunity. Shhhhh...but I traded NFLX last week from the long side...despite the fact that it is barely even a shell of a company now. Buying Netflix today would be ill advised.
Shame the Greek army isn't publicly listed. Their shares might have gone parabolic before the days end....
The Greek Army: Do they still wear breastplates, greaves and carry a sarissa ?
Nope, they bought Tanks from Uncle sam last month,

Expensive dip!
You're basically saying you went long on FAS after yesterday.. whoops.
Full Disclosure: I'm long guns and ammo.
If that is the case, all is forgiven.
You forgot the /sarc, so you get trashed. Some folks are just too dense to get it. Or maybe they are still asleep (just being kind here).
I too have noticed a severe lack of sarcasm meters among the ZH audience. Some peeps are too uptight.
True, but some peeps are trying to have a real/serious discussion and it can be hard to change tracks in your mind... Especially with all the trolls that abound, it can be tricky to tell the difference, as well (especially when someone replies sarcastically to a serious post).
Does anyone else get the feeling that the Greeks are playing the suckers at the NYSE/LSE for fools and dropping rumors every time they want to make an insider trade? They won't need a bailout at this rate.
The S&P has priced in about 1000 points worth of 'EUROPE IS SAVED' over the last 12 months. It's working pretty well.
it's a bird, it's a plane, it's an MQ9
MQ9 ?
TD; it don't get any better than this bud.
The Health Minister?!!?! Shades of AL Hiag...I'm in charge here....
The Finance Minister is suffering stomach pains...
"I have everything under control"
Rumor is the Minister of Silly Walks if pro-referendum, so this could get ugly.
Health Minister???????
Well you have to admit the patient IS terminal.
My words exactly.
haha, i thought the same. So the words of the greek health minister are going to move global markets. This is crazy
Yeah, you better listen to him if you know what's good for you. /sarc
Does the Greek Health Minister now outrank the Prime Minister?
Interesting setup they have there.
Probably not, however he probably knows a doctor that will declare the PM unfit for work.
Or declare him dead.
Regular checkups and sanitation are paramount where they "go greek."
I think it must be like what happened in the US in 2008, where we learned that spending bills originate in the Treasury.
ZackAttack +6000!
No but he gets to decide how the Finance Minister gets treated.
So ...
Health minister? I guess they've got hemlocked into a position where he has to support the bankers.
This now makes Hitler look very sane. I must go back and re-read history.
He was also prescient for being one of the few German leaders who could resist getting in bed with Greece. Mussolini pulled him into that bed and it didn't work out too well for anyone. When will they learn?
Who in the F is the health minister?
You know...that guy...the one that said the referendum won't happen. Surprise! It's G-Pap!!
Health minister? Kick that dude to the curb! What power does this Health Minister got?
This shit's gonna go on all day for starters.
Too bad they don't have any oil we could invade them under the pretense of liberating the people. Maybe when we have a shortage of olives...
ha ha ha that is great
You'll need a Dick Cheney type into secretly sodomizing Greek boys on false charges in hidden prisons---otherwise, where is the fun for Republicans????
I'm googling "pedo cam" and "Lithuania real estate" as we speak, give me a holler at 15:00hours Dog.
lol..... all they really need to do is threaten to sell there olives on the market for gold instead of dollars...............
Olive oil ?
Hmmm.
It's a good thing Greece doesn't have oil...
Actually they do. As in Olive oil?
It can't be burnt in F16s. They're safe.
Well.. We could still say they have WMD's .. and they are terrorists.. killing their people.. I'm not sure if they are brown enough though.. And they are not Muslims.. So it could be a tough sell..
Actually, it could, if things got desperate enough.... You'd have to heat it to evaporate most of the water content, treat it with potassium hydroxide to restructure the molecule closer to fossil diesel, then 'wash' it with a little ethanol, but its perfectly possible to run an afterburning turbofan on biofuel.
We might all be doing it in a few years time, once the Gulf oil fields are all burning.
Popeye would be soooo pissed. I bet they have spinach.
Good one!
Some bitch on CNBC: 'Ok, lets take a looka t defence stocks'
Normally Hyper Cramer, now sits quietly as his asshole puckers....
Crazy glue in the Preparation H.
Cramer typically loses the 'mad-man' act when the market tanks, in sympathy for the viewers losing their asses. The hyper 'you gotta get in the game' Cramer is unwelcome during these times.
With that said he made his first defense of Corzine saying that there must be others that made the trades. He worked with Corzine and knows him so there is no way he mingled the money. Good job Jim..Gold Sachs blood brothers stick togehter.
Cramer fraud....blowing with the wind. Telling all his retail lemmings they had to be in this market as of Friday of last week....because there was "a floor under this market due to hedge funds/mutual funds chasing return before eoy". How they don't call him out on air about his bs is beyond me.
The Greeks don't care, they screwed Germany for several hundred Billion already and can probably finesse even more. Sheeesh.....
In a government cabinet, the health minister is about as useful as tits on a nun. How's he going to stop it: with a balanced breakfast?
Armies are bullish.
Venizelos is in hospital with stomach pains. Not kidding.
With a stomach as big as his, that could be a LOT of pain.
Gosh Mister Minister, why won't it happen? Not enough money to do the vote? G-Pap talking out his ass?
How will the people REACT when, after they thought they were going to get to vote on it, the "Health Minister" says they won't?
Bad for the health of the Health Minister.
just in....Minister for Culture and Tourism concurs with Health Minister that referendum will not happen.
The Health Minister will not administer the G-Pap schmears, thus no referendum.
And cue the beginning of the greek civil war or military coup.
I wonder if the NBER dates a civil war much in the way is dates a recession.
Time stamping a military coup might be easier.
Tyler turn on the back up servers. I don't want to miss a thing.
IF servers go down, you can get your fix from his twitter feed.
Dammit G-Pap I'm a doctor not a bulletproof vest!
The health minister is a constitutionalist by profession (he used to be a university professor) and that's why he argues that a referendum cannot pass by these terms.
If I were a euro loving german this would be the last straw.
It really looks like the euro experiment is over.
Yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if several large vaults, strategically located in/near major urban areas, are currently being stacked - with Teutonic efficiency, of course - with packets of crisp new Deutschmarks.
I heard Greece was going to be fun to watch today as Crater Face was threatening Kanicki, until Rizzo and Sandy showed up to help Danny and the rest of the T-Birds with his car....oh sorry, wrong Grease...
He's going to lose the vote of confidence on Friday. He's already lost his majority and the health minister is making that known.
And on CNBC: Cramer defending Corzine, because Cramer "doesn't believe" Corzine was the "only" CEO with a Eurozone debt position.
Yeah, keep apologizing for Goldman, asshole.
I dislike both Cramer AND Corzine
Please.
Cramer also said Corzine wasn't a hack bc be was a politician and had been on cnbc plenty of times.
The circular reasoning and the irony in that single statment almost made my morning. But i am a complete dork.
I wonder if he was the only CEO with a Eurozone debt position funded with his customer's money?
Doubtful.
go tell the spartans
thou who passest by, That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.

different people, different laws, different times
Pappy has got himself a coup d'etat. The world is crackers. But damn interesting.....
This is when the masks fall and the little banker crony politicians will be exposed for all Greeks to see. People take note
Choose your next words carefully, GPap. They may be your last as Prime Minister.
Fuck D Creamy and Corzine. Just another felony fucker that this admin won't prosecute. Every POS banker on the planet knows Obama is bought and paid for well except for one sap. http://thecivillibertarian.blogspot.com/2011/11/frankenstein-government-...
As mentioned for some time, the bullish USD weekly chart continues to exert it’s influence and according to my analysis this will continue.
DOW chart showing bearish megaphone pattern warned of resumption of downtrend:

Referendum or no referendum, 'Yes' vote or 'No' vote, Army or no Army, the Greeks aren't paying.
