What's Next After Greece Bailout Agreement?

By Diane Alter, Contributing Writer, Money Morning - August 14, 2015

greece crisis

After a 23-hour discussion, a Greece bailout agreement was reached Friday between the country and its international lenders. The Greece bailout is worth 85 billion euros ($93 billion).

Now many are wondering what's next for the country amid this debt crisis.

Here's everything investors need to know now...

Greek Bailout Will Feed the Joint EU-NATO Energy Empire

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - July 28, 2015

Global Economy

The Greek bailout is the latest exercise in a geopolitical ploy to expand European business interests and reinforce North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) doctrine.

The only logical conclusion to this point is that this Greek bailout and the two preceding it were never about helping Greece repay.

The Greek debt crisis is about way more than just Greece or holding together the Eurozone...

Markets "Whistle Past the Graveyard" as Google Gains $65 Billion in Just One Day

By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - July 19, 2015

Google stock price

While markets decided to ignore what are destined to be doomed attempts to cover over intractable debt crises in Greece and China, the real action in the markets last week took place in two high-flying NASDAQ stocks - Netflix and Google.

Netflix stock split 7-to-1 and the company announced strong subscriber growth, pushing its stock up from a split-adjusted $98.13 on Wednesday to $114.77 at the end of the week. The 18% pop increased its market cap to $48.7 billion and its price/earnings ratio to 210x as Wall Street analysts competed with each other to raise their price targets to ever higher levels.

If you think that sounds giddy, look at what Google did...

Recent Greek Bailout a Sign of Political Crisis and Syriza Failure

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - July 15, 2015

Greek bailout

It's hard to imagine a situation where this most recent 86 billion euro ($94.1 billion) Greek bailout will succeed where the first 110 billion euro ($120.4 billion) Greek bailout in 2010 failed.

Or where the second 130 billion euro ($142.2 billion) Greek bailout in 2012 also failed.

Here's what is going to happen with this recent round of funding, and what is to become of Greece...

What Would a Grexit Mean for Investors?

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - July 14, 2015

what would a grexit mean for investors

A new bailout bill has been negotiated for Greece and a "Grexit" has been averted.

For now.

So, what would a "Grexit" mean for investors? Here's how to prepare for what may very well be inevitable...

What Will Happen to Greece Now After the New Greek Bailout?

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - July 13, 2015

Greece

Markets are breathing a sigh of relief now that Greece has negotiated a new bailout plan with its Eurozone creditors.

But, what will happen to Greece now? We've seen the results of years of austerity and it's not pretty.

And with this latest bailout round, is doesn't look like it's going to get any better...

Idiocy Knows No Borders

By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - July 12, 2015

greece crisis

As a veteran investor and hedge fund manager, I've often pursued strategies that feed off volatility. So for me, the type of schizophrenic, up-and-down action that we saw last week was just what the doctor ordered. Unfortunately, for anyone banking on a positive long-term outcome for Greece and the EU, the doctor making orders may well be named Kervorkian.

The "Gridiots" in Europe spent the week torturing a world too fearful (or stupid) to just ignore their idiocy. The dysfunctional and bankrupt Hellenic State will continue to be funded for a couple of more years - after which they'll have to go through this moronic exercise all over again. Having allowed its populace to self-immolate and vote against accepting the demands of its creditors, the Syriza government caved to precisely those demands and now the world will wait to see if the rest of the European governments will be dumb enough to fall for this charade.

Protect Your Wealth from Greek Fears

By Money Morning Member Alert, Money Morning - July 7, 2015

greece crisis

The recent disquiet over Greece has been threatening the markets and dominating the headlines, but the best course of action for investors right now is to view it as more noise than signal.

The Greek situation has taken years to play out, and the levels of non-hedged global exposure to Greek debt have been drastically reduced since 2010. There has also been plenty of time to mitigate the risk of contagion that could result from a Greek default or even an exit from the euro.

What Happens If Greece Exits the Euro?

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - July 7, 2015

what happens if greece exits the euro merkel

The Eurozone and the Greek people are wondering what happens if Greece exits the euro.

The conventional wisdom is that Greece would abandon the euro, adopt the drachma, and then work to devalue it to boost export competitiveness and grow the economy.

The reality is not so simple...

Greece's Problems are the Tip of the Iceberg

By Michael E. Lewitt, Global Credit Strategist, Money Morning • @MichaelELewitt - July 5, 2015

dow jones industrial average today

America celebrates the July 4th holiday under the threat of homegrown terrorism while global financial markets face a trifecta of threats from Greece, Puerto Rico and China.

And those are just the immediate threats - the world still has to deal with the longer term threat of hundreds of trillions of dollars in debts that it can never hope to pay back and the pursuit of failed central bank policies that are destined to send markets over the cliff sooner rather than later...

What Happens When Greece Defaults?

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - June 23, 2015

what happens when greece defaults

What happens when Greece defaults?

That's the question on the market's mind right now. It's no longer a question of "what happens if Greece defaults?"

Here's why the stakes are high, and why a default or "Grexit" is about more than just Greece...

The True Story Behind the Greek Debt Crisis: Why Hasn’t Greece Defaulted on Its Debt Yet?

By Jim Bach, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @JimBach22 - June 4, 2015

Greek Debt Crisis

For most of the Greek debt crisis the reality has been well-known. Even if it was only initially discussed among the staffers and in the back offices of the International Monetary Fund, a Greek default has always been inevitable.

So now that Greece is €328 billion in the hole – a 175% debt-to-GDP ratio – exactly why hasn’t Greece defaulted on its debt yet?

Here’s the real story behind the Greek debt crisis…
