For once BBC radio had a guest worth listening to – Jim Rogers (a couple of days ago).

He pointed out the obvious – obvious, but never mentioned.

Even if the Greek government faithfully and honestly puts into effect every condition the E.U. and IMF have set (rather unlikely) the Greek govenment debt will still get WORSE every year.

Yes WORSE.

I thought that the Greek Govt had already pitched 50 Billion worth of sell offs to a group of Hedge fund managers in London only last week, and not one of them bought anything, not even a snowstorm Acropolis paperweight?

I wouldn’t buy anything from Greece that couldn’t be shipped out of the country before they voted to appropriate it.

“…it would be easier and probably less stressful to just flush the money down the toilet and call it ‘performance art’.”

Don’t knock it – at least that way you might get a return on your money in the form of a grant.
