[08:56] {Threei} - Eurogroup Finance Ministers agree to agree on Greece
[08:56] {Threei} lol
[08:59] {MigC} good morning
[09:00] {Threei} Migc :)
[09:01] {Les} morning. anyone else got slow internet?
[09:01] {Threei} hi Les
[09:01] {Threei} looks good here
[09:02] {Les} must be the difference between US and Canada :)
[09:02] {Threei} here is succinct version of the current state of afair, for those who didn't monitor the whole thing over the weekend:
[09:02] {Threei} - European shares opened mixed and are trading lower as the highs from the Greek agreement wore off. The Eurozone ministers decided to extend a �130B bailout deal to avoid a Greek default. The deal combines a private sector haircut of 53.5% as opposed to the 50.5% agreed in October with ECB foregoing the profits from the Greek bondholdings. The agreement comes with permanent team of monitors so that Athens implements the austerity measures and an escrow account which will ensure that Greece holds three months worth of debt payments.
[09:03] {Threei} The escrow is temporary however as Greece has agreed to change its constitution to make debt payment its priority. But the investors are worried over the long-term prospects of Greece. New elections in April in Greece may fuel fears that the new government will not be either able or willing to implement those measures. Social unrest, divisive policies and mutual mistrust between the Germans and the Greeks make the bailout unimpressive and signify that the crisis is far from over. Furthermore, some investors are critical that there is an absence over how Greek economy will grow in the future. The sentiment that this second bailout has merely bought more time has put pressure in the markets.
[09:03] {Threei} end
[09:03] {Les} LOL changing the constitution to pay one's creditors...

[11:27] {nemo} Kudos, Wall Street Journal, for a front-page read the other day on a bacon festival in Iowa on Saturday, a party that sold 4,000 tickets in 25 minutes. But as Jeannette Neumann reported, the organizers of the event were ready "for a bit of oinking from outsiders.'' Vegetarian doctors from Iowa worried about the long-term effects of eating bacon were out to promote the unhealthy side of
[11:27] {nemo} bacon, though it probably wasn't doing much good. One of the lectures at the event was: "How bacon is changing my life.''
[11:27] {Threei} Vegetarian doctors from Iowa are out to lunch
