Boom?

Even the far right opposes it? That can't be good.

"I am not going to contribute to a revolution that will humiliate us and that will burn Europe", said Giorgos Karatzaferis, leader of the far-right Laos party.

Greece has prepared a debt plan with private creditors to halve the value of Greek debt and in return receive new, 30 year bonds with an average interest rate of less than 4%.

A 50% haircut up front and 4% coupon for 30 years on what's left? If I were holding an Greek debt, I think I'd rather take my chances on a CDS payout. smiley

No matter what happens Uwe, this will not be labeled a credit event.

There is no way they would be able to deal with the domino effect the banks would go through.

This will drive even more money into US Treasuries. After all, it can't happen here, right?

It can't, until it does.

But no one on Wall Street and in the world's various different funds are talking like that....yet.

Heh, they're just a small step away from agreement - that step would be agreeing.

Did anyone ever seriously think this was headed anywhere other than to an impasse?

Read "Boomerang." You'll get a quick synopsis of why Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal will never make it to the alter of debt reduction without a default...in the REAL sense.

Greece remains at the forefront of the euro zone crisis as the government struggles for agreement on fiscal reforms that would be accepted by political leaders and private bondholders as it tries to avoid a disorderly default.

Talks on a bond swap and 130 billion euros in bailout funds have been continuing for weeks before a March deadline when 14.5 billion euros of bonds come due. Hopes that a deal was on the horizon dissipated on Friday as euro zone finance ministers delayed a meeting scheduled for Monday.


there is always the chance in brinkmanship -- which is what is being played here — that you have a dangerous outcome if the pieces don't come together," said Paul Mendelsohn, chief investment strategist at Windham Financial Services in Charlotte, Vermont.

"They have until March 19. They are going to keep pushing this thing until everybody gets the best deal they can out of it or they decide not to move forward and let Greece go. It's always a possibility at the end of the game."

Collective retoactive voluntary provisions will be added to all sovereigns, which will invalidate any CDS payouts (because all haircuts on all positions will be deemed voluntary). This will cause rate pressues everywhere, starting with smaller endebted nations and migrating to the majors. We must all balance our books NOW.
