Or, evidence of payment by the Greeks?


NOZZLE, honestly, there is something called 'heroic therapy'.

Looks like Pappy just voted himself off the island. No way the Socialists win a referendum now. He's committing political suicide as he knows Greece will never take another 8 years of contraction.

Worst part is it isn't until January which will keep the markets basicially locked up until than - they probably default in the meantime.

Yep, Way past Time to Pay UP


Three hours ago...www.cfr.org . . .

Political leaders and market actors alike are increasingly concerned about an involuntary or disorderly Greek default. These fears have risen in the wake of Athens' inability to reach an agreement with private creditors over the debt haircut, and mounting evidence that Prime Minister Lucas Papademos has failed to implement promised structural economic changes. In such an instance--which could occur as soon as March if the troika decides to withhold the next tranche of bailout funds--Greece would lack the resources to meet its debt obligations and simply stop paying its creditors, potentially devastating Europe's financial institutions. A disorderly default would not only threaten to unravel the single currency union, but "could unleash violent market reactions" (NYT) throughout the global economy, spurring a new world recession.

Quit the bull and Pay up!

Die Welt reports that 2 billion euros of interest payments to Greek bondholders are due in September; 3.65 billion euros in October and 3.3 billion in November. In December, 10 billion euros are due to be paid to fractional reserve banks.

But the Greek government only generates a monthly revenue from taxes and other income of 3.75 billion euros, leaving it short.

Greece says it has enough cash to cover pension and salaries until the middle of October and is waiting for the next „installment“ of eurozone tax payer money to continue to make interest payments of 19 billion euros to creditors and also keep some of the functions of a state going by paying salaries and pensions.


Greece got their installment and paid Sept, Oct, and Nov.

Pay UP.

Meet the bankers who decide whether Greece has defaulted
Posted By David Bosco Monday, October 24, 2011 - 4:14 PM Share

At Germany's insistence, any new European rescue plan will likely involve stiff losses for private holders of Greek debt, perhaps as much as 60 percent. Greece is insisting that any such "haircut" for bondholders be voluntary, but many see the losses as little more than a dressed-up default. And that in turn is turning the spotlight on an obscure committee of a little-known industry association whose job it is to determine whether countries have actually defaulted on their debt.


4 Weeks ended October 19th
On Oct 24th the banking committee tasked with identifying whether or not Greece had defaulted HAD NOT CALLED A DEFAULT.

Standard & Poor's will likely downgrade Greece's ratings to "selective default" when the country concludes its debt restructuring, but that will not necessarily destroy the credibility of the European Union, an official with the ratings agency said on Tuesday.

"It's not a given that Greece's default would have a domino effect in the euro zone," John Chambers, the chairman of S&P's sovereign rating committee, said in an event organized by Blooomberg Link.

The Greek god Zeus was flying over a Greek island and saw a naked woman washing herself, so he swooped down and made love to her.

Then he said, "In 9 months you shall have a child and you shall call him Hercules!"

The woman replied, "In 9 days you shall have a rash and you shall call it Herpes."

They never paid off at 100% or on time, its a default and it happened a long time ago.

Based on the riots that took place on Wednesday, thur and friday its just a matter of time before the egg lemon soup boils over and mass riots start as people start having to forage thru garbage for survival while the select few keep getting richer.

Sorry, NOZZLE, but you're being totally disingenuous.


At no point in 2011 have the rating agencies rated Greece as in being in default.

And the game ended in October 2011.

In 2012 ONLY have the agencies rated the haircut as partial default.


The fact Greece hadn't paid all it's debt on time in 2011 is NOT qualified as a default.

Same goes for you if you pay some bills late, you are not called into personal bankruptcy.

Did Greece pay the interest and principal when due on the bonds that were to mature during the relevant time period?

Yes or no, and if you say yes, provide a link to your proof instead of the links you are feeding us.

you're being disingenuous again, NOZZLE.

You're asking me to prove that something (Greece default) doesn't exist.

It's a classical fallacy to try to prove that something does not exist if you want to believe in it.

I can't prove to you that dragons don't exist. Or elves. Or God. Or Greece default in 2011.



All I can say is that NOT ONE of the rating agencies rated Greece as in default in 2011 (as proved by my article copy at that time).


Now if you want to believe Greece was in default in 2011, I can't stop you.
