This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
From Business Insider.
Quote
As if the world didn't have enough to be worried about (ISIS, Ebola, slowing China, Ukraine, slowing Germany, Fed tightening, etc.) now look what's back: Greece. And in a big way.

The stock market is down over 9% on Wednesday, which is about as big as crashes come.

And the banks are getting absolutely smashed.

Greece, which had been calm for a while, is now being wracked by two separate but related things.

One is the rise in the political popularity of left-winger Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the Syriza party, who if he ever got elected to power would take a much more confrontational stance with the rest of the eurozone with regards to austerity.

Meanwhile, a rift is growing between the current Greek government and the rest of the EU as Greece is keen to exit its bailout program. The EU is not so sure.

So now the Greek market is getting crushed.

Here's the chart showing the nosedive. And this is before Wednesday's move.



And it's not just stocks.

Here's the deteriorating bond situation.


Let's watch the European Central Bank fuc­k it up.

Greece should've stopped existing during their first total crash. all Greece is at this point, is a tumour that's sucking up the money of the EU.

*Spartans

Ancient Greek society was largely based around city-states and was only partially unified after the end of the Peloponnesian War when Athens took much of Greece, but was later defeated by Sparta. Greece finally was unified under Macedonian rule by King Philip

Exaggerated news. In the past few weeks there were political tensions, and in the Greek parliament there was a vote of trust for the government. It's a natural phenomenon that due to the political instability, the economy would weaken to this level.

Here's a much better article that is not trying to cause panic; http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/greece-returns-market-spotlight-nosedive-26217155
