Italy Is the Mother of All Systemic Threats / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: John_Mauldin
BY GEORGE FRIEDMAN : Italy has been in a crisis for at least eight months, though mainstream media did not recognize it until July. This crisis has nothing to do with Brexit, although opponents of Brexit will claim it does. Even if Britain had voted to stay in the EU, the Italian crisis would still have been gathering speed.
The high level of non-performing loans (NPLs) has been a problem since before Brexit. It is clear that there is nothing in the Italian economy that can reduce them. Only a dramatic improvement in the economy would make it possible to repay these loans. And Europe’s economy cannot improve drastically enough to help. We have been in crisis for quite a while.

Euro Bond Crisis Returns As Germany Pushes Euro Sovereign Debt Bail-in Clause / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: GoldCore
European Banks holding European sovereign debt may have to take haircuts and be part of bail in plans should that same debt default, according to a plan being pursued by German government advisers. In another attempt to shelter German tax payers from the largess and excess of fellow European neighbouring countries’ national banks, the move could trigger a run on billions of euro of sovereign debt of said banks. In an article penned by the Telegraph’s Ambrose-Evans Pritchard, one of the council’s dissenting members describes the plan as the “fastest way to break up the Eurozone”.

Greece Debt Crisis to Trigger Euro-zone Credit Freeze, Expiry of Greek Euro Bank Notes / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
According to to Syriza politicians, Tsipras and Varoufakis a NO vote would have delivered the Greek people victory in its negotiation with the Troika with promises of an agreement already on the table and of course the banks would reopen Tuesday. Which just like a string of promises made for the whole of 2015 have proved totally worthless propaganda aimed at convincing a delusional Greek electorate that a paradise of sorts was awaiting them if only they voted NO / committed mass suicide, the reality of which is only slowly starting to dawn on an increasingly panicky Greek people who are experiencing economic collapse accelerate on a daily basis.

Marc Faber Warns of Greece Crisis Contagion Very High Risk / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, Editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, spoke with Bloomberg Television's Olivia Sterns and Matt Miller about the contagion risk posed by the Greek debt crisis and the prospects for a resolution. He also discussed the Chinese stock market.
When asked whether we are actually going to see contagion spread further, Faber said: "I think the likelihood of contagion is very high. And I have to say when you have a borrower, you also have a lender. And it's actually, in my view, amazing how the EU kept on pumping money into Greece, partly also to bail out their own banks. And suddenly now the debt is no longer manageable."

Greece to Print Counterfeit Euros or IOUs, Hyper-Inflation Beckons / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The shock decisive NO referendum vote as the Greek electorate fell for Syriza propaganda that painted a picture of Greeks being the victims of the evil Troika has seen mainstream press focus turm (perhaps after googling) turn to Greece's banking system collapse that remains closed with as little as Euro 50 per day being allowed for withdrawals, as the banks are fast running out of Euro bank notes with cash points expected to completely run dry by Wednesday.

Syriza Convinces Greece to Commit Suicide, GrExit Beckons, Market Reaction / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Syriza has successfully managed to convince the mass of the people of Greece of their victim hood at the hands of the evil Troika and thus to vote NO in a referendum engineered for such an outcome as phrased by a question which basically boiled down to "Do you want Austerity", "YES or NO", to which obviously on face value 90% would be inclined to vote NO. However, it had been hoped that most Greeks would be able to see through Syriza's thick propaganda smoke screen that in recent days had been ramping up the message of a virtual paradise to follow a NO vote.

Marc Faber - Greece is Basically Bankrupt / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, Editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, spoke with Bloomberg Television's Stephanie Ruhle, Joe Weisenthal and Scarlet Fu about the U.S. economy, financial markets and the Greek debt crisis.
Describing the situation in Greece, Faber said: "My sense is that they will come to some kind of an agreement in the last minute. But I don't think that's any positive because Greece is basically bankrupt. The debt should be written down by 50 percent or more. However, I have this to say. I don't believe that stocks are going down because of Greece. I believe that the market has been weakening internally for a long time."

Greece - Shoot the Dog and Sell the Farm / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: John_Mauldin
“If this were a marriage, the lawyers would be circling.” - The Economist, My Big Fat Greek Divorce, 6/20/2015
Greece is again all the buzz in the media and on the commentary circuit. If you’re like me, you are suffering terminal Greece fatigue. You just want Greece and its creditors to “do something already” rather than continually coming to the end of every week with no resolution, amid finger-pointing and dire warnings from all sides about the End of All Things Europe – maybe even the world.

Greece BANKRUPT! Financial and Economic Collapse to Follow IMF Debt Default / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Syriza government betrays Europe and the Greek people says angry EU President Juncker, by Syriza lying to its people on the truth of Greece's proposed bailout conditions and that he has no trust left in Tsipras. Juncker in blunt language made it clear that a NO vote on the 5th July referendum (that I don't think will actually be held) would mean that Greece will be kicked out of the euro-zone.
“’No’ would mean, regardless of the final question, that Greece is saying no to Europe,”

Greece Banking System Collapse Monday as ECB Pulls the Plug, Capital Controls Ahead of GrExit / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
It looks like the 'game theory' playing Tsipras and Varoufakis are succeeding in having Greece thrown out of the Euro-zone as the ECB after financing every single euro withdrawn from the Greek banks for the past 5 years, Euro-zone tax payer funds amounting to E130billion, has finally today announced that it has effectively pulled the plug on the Greek banking system by stating that the ECB would not extend its emergency lending support programme for the Greek banking system that is haemorrhaging billions of euros on a daily basis.

Investor Tactics to Profit from the Greek Debt Crisis / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: There's a lot being written about the Greek debt crisis right now. It's scary, it's problematic, and, for the most part, almost totally unusable for the average investor.
That's completely unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.
So I thought we'd take a good hard look at what you actually need to know, then move on to three tactics that can help you capitalize on the situation. And I don't just mean by single digits, either.
