Greece hazarding with trust of other countries and investors

It doesn’t even make any sense to comment the news about Greece to vote in referendum about accepting next help from other members of EU.

Will a write off of Greek debt solve its problems?

The leaders of EU are debating how to bankrupt Greece effectively and without a sudden shock. They are proposing that banks should write off 60% of Greek debt, but bankers are willing to accept only 40%. But will this write off solve Greek problem? Partially.

Market up 1% in the morning on hopes for European “comprehensive” plan

This morning I checked the premarket data to see what is driving or will be driving the market in the morning. And I found an article on CNN Stocks: Optimistic about Europe … for now. So investors are optimistic this morning about Europe leaders who are going to meet today and later on they should Continue reading →
