Indices UP 1.49% to 1.71% on Greece aboutface.......

Greece again is providing minute to minute change of heart in their confused EU membership.

As usual when money spigot stopped, Greece had change of heart & policy.

IF we can believe, then Greece is not having referendum.

IF i was EU head, i will insist on a vote in parliament for acceptance of  bailout conditions, otherwise Greece will turn on a dime again & again....

They must be testing their welcome in EU community, MAY end up in Greek tragedy......

Indices slumped 2.48% to 2.89% on Greek politics......

Greece stand for a referendum vote "as soon as possible" took a toll on world markets, damage was as high as 6.92% in Greece, Italy 6.7%...

There is a widespread support in Greece for this action, contrary to media reports.

Meeting between German, French & Greek leaders on Wednesday will not produce any change, maybe a smoothing of opposite points of view.

This sounds like a long drawn out politics "Greek Style"..in the end vote will show a split decision..Yes for EU & No for bailout...take this to the bank...so will be back to drawing board again in New Year...Greece holding centre stage again......

Greece got the whole world stock market in a tailspin, thanks to their decision to allow referendum, which guarantees a NO vote.

European markets were down 6% after the news.

I was extremely disappointed @ this "turn of event"......

IS HFT banking on good riddance of Greece verdict?
