Right now it is in the negative, because if you buy it now (before it has defaulted and declared bankruptcy) you get stuck with the toxic debt.i heard that the opening bid is $1.42. anyone? do i hear $1.45?i am surprised Donald Trump hasnt offered to buy Greece before it goes on ebay.
They shouldn't have accepted the bailout in 2010, and instead followed Iceland by jailing the bankers and letting the banks default on their own mistakes.
But what is done is done, and I hope that they manage to get out the abyss.
The IMF/ECB plan was a joke, and it would have not only forced taxpayers across Europe to fund a money hole, but forced Greeks to sell the country off and eventually default on their debt anyway - making a bigger money hole than if they default this year.
If it I was up to me, I wouldn't have let it get this far. It would have been better to not intervene at all than push a bailout that Greeks couldn't afford to pay, with conditions so insane that they could only plunge Greece into economic depression and a debt spiral.
The politicians in the European Union were idiots, as were the economists and bureaucrats who pushed more and more demands on Greece for the bailout, forcing the collapse of the Greek government - because the demands had reached the limit of what Greeks were prepared to accept. Syriza and the collapse of the bailout deal is the result.
uh, no it doesn't, but it's still derpIf derp=fact, then yes.Thanks Dubya!we owe 18 Trillion dollars!!
derp adds derp to the derp

Sounds like banks in the U.S. approving mortgages for people that couldn't afford the payments. Sound familiar?
This is world class corrupt banking thievery. The vultures see easy prey and try to suck the life out of it. Who could blame Greece for going to Russia now?
so you're saying that greece, the country, was unable to understand the terms of the contract and therefore should not be held responsible for not asking questions to understand what was going on.They shouldn't have accepted the bailout in 2010, and instead followed Iceland by jailing the bankers and letting the banks default on their own mistakes.

Conservatives cry 'socialism' about every single thing under the sun. It used to be 'communism', but that got stale. Next year who knows what it will be.
What we know for sure is Bush and the Republicans destroyed the world economy in 2008 and we've had to climb every so slowly out of that gigantic pit. Yet these same loser now want to tell others how to handle finances.
Mental, illness.
I have to try and think on the positive. At least as a result of this mess Greece has got rid of most of the leaches in the establishment, and with the constant shadow of debt and economic strife they are going to be held constantly to account by the Greek public - unlike the governments previous to 2009 who were able to promise stuff the country couldn't afford (and cheat the books) to keep in power.They shouldn't have accepted the bailout in 2010, and instead followed Iceland by jailing the bankers and letting the banks default on their own mistakes.

No matter what, the various financial institutions HAVE to work out a deal with the Greeks.
Why should they, if Greek's leaders fucked up their own economy?
The IMF has a long history of forcing economic policy that makes a country vulnerable to multinational corporations and banks and places much of the burden on a country's poorest and most vulnerable citizens. I am glad someone finally told them to keep their money and their strings.
Yep, though not all at once.The Greeks basically have spent themselves into the ground, yes?
