Greek Lights Out… Literally

One for the “You can’t make this stuff up” folder.

From Art Cashin:

Ya Can’t Make This Stuff Up - An interesting example of the problems in Greece may be seen in one of its recent attempts to collect taxes.

Property taxes were notoriously unpaid. The government decided to combine those taxes with your electric bill. The concept was simple. Pay your property taxes or your lights will be shut off.

The proposal brought outrage [...]

Things are getting interesting. Despite earlier headlines that the €5.2 billion EFSF payment to Greece would be made as expected, money which would go to pay European banks and the ECB, it now seems there is more than meets the eye, and the Eurozone will in fact hold back €1 billion of the money until Monday in what is a major escalation in the relationship between the anarchy-controlled country and Europe.

Some Shocking Honestly Out Of Juncker Sends EURUSD Below 1.31

After a relentless upward session in yesterday’s trade exasperated the EURUSD bears, it is time for the bulls to be punked, not once but twice, the first time coming overnight when some errant headlines out of China, suggesting it could be involved in the ESM, sent the pair soaring only to slide right back down on clarification this was not really happening.

Despite the terrible weather, I’m excited to [...]
