>>>A GREAT reason to engage in a long term short of the Euro.<<< I think holding gold is the safest way to short the Euro. Leverage the gold. That's shorting all fiat currencies.

believe the greeks, people on the street as well as the elite, shall opt for default and withdraw from euro w/ 36-60 months, as and when the euro well runs dry the elite would encourage default so that they can take charge of the printing machine the plebs would want to default, thinking themselves better situated to try to game inflation than play deflation mathematically, in real terms, the point of destination for the greek state is the same place the advantage of the greeks and all credits to them, is that they never paid their taxes that then were wasted they merely spent on themselves money borrowed from others

I actually love it because I think a referendum on issues of this magnitude is healthy. I mean, if the people are going to suffer austerity, they may as well determine their fate. I totally agree.. And we're talking about YEARS of austerity and recession.. It has to have the support of the people. The real fear is having Greece set a precedence that is soon followed by Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and maybe a few others.. And the fat cat bankers know they made bad loans, and violated prudent lending standards. So they really have no one to blame but themselves. And it would be interesting to see if Californian, and Illinois voters will have their own eventual austerity programs put to a referendum. Hawk
