Greece cut to CC from CCC by S&P, negative outlook; amounts to a selective default
By Jamie Coleman || July 27, 2011 at 16:32 GMT
Not much reaction. When ratings are that low, doesn’t much matter….

  • Debt restructuring plan amounts to a selective default
  • S&P views the EU’s debt restructuring proposal as a “distressed debt exchange”
  • The debt exchange and rollover options are unfavorable to investors
  • Recovery rate of 30-50% expected from bondholders
* John Galt site , here ...kind of humorus "Don't Worry Be Happy"

From Wen's last dipolmatic tour and the large reserves of cash she has, there is a turning here ...
Message 27455543

am guilty as charged shorting the AGQ this am on the opening pop to $230 but i know this instrument
is still primed & ready for a Downgrade to US , that now stirs on everyone's lips that could be seen as inveitable this weekend ,as they were going to draw this out to the very end . Yet when Obama prematurely hinted last week there was an agreement near the AGQ fell 4% fast ...will that downgrade come tmorrow before or on the heels of the employent #'s or the GDP forcast on fri ?

will they dare to downgrade the US right before the show next week ?
