Hilarious. You heard it here first, folks.
From January 6, I said:
The ECB has stated emphatically that they are not willing to forward any more bailout money to Greece and in response the Greek Finance Minister has said that he doesn't need any more help, thank you. “Hopefully what they will be seeing will be reassuring them that indeed we are moving in the right direction and they should continue funding our large debt,” he said. Hopefully? Think about this. What was he supposed to say in response to to the ECB's hard line, Well, then we're bankrupt? Not. The market seems to think this is a bullish statement, up over 4% today... I would be wary.
From today's UK Telegraph:
...a commission of experts in Athens told the country's parliament that it had uncovered €40bn (£35bn) of "hidden debts" during an investigation...
Huh. Who woulda thunk it?

Greece is a economic basket case.
