[11:21] {Threei} another twist I hear isd:
[11:21] {nemo} yep

[11:22] {nemo} well, it would be from shoddy well building this happened in the first place. The faulty construction led to the gas explosion
[11:23] {Threei} well, the twist i mean is different

[13:07] {Threei} down down down
[13:11] {Threei} *MOODYS DOWNGRADES GREECE GOVT BOND RATINGS FOUR NOTCHES TO BA1 FROM A3; NOW JUNK STATUS; OUTLOOK STABLE
[13:11] {Threei} - Moody's: "The Ba1 rating reflects our analysis of the balance of the strengths and risks associated with the Eurozone/IMF support package. The package effectively eliminates any near-term risk of a liquidity-driven default and encourages the implementation of a credible, feasible, and incentive-compatible set of structural reforms, which have a high likelihood of stabilizing debt service requirements at manageable levels,"
[13:12] {Threei} interesting
[13:13] {Threei} text is not really doing a good job explaining the downgrade
[13:13] {Threei} - The rating agency's base-case scenario envisions Greece implementing the policy changes it needs to stabilise its debt-to-GDP ratio at around 150% by 2013, and reduce its debt burden, defined as the interest payment/revenues ratio, gradually thereafter (expected at 20% in 2014).
