[10:34] {Threei}  (PT) IMF: It is premature to speculate whether Portugal needs an expanded loan program- IMF warns that Greece faces delays in loan disbursals if the govt does not achieve its milestones.
[10:36] {Threei}  so, looks like realization that nothing has changed in EU crisis slowly creeps back in

[10:38] {Threei}  yes... but there is a difference
[10:38] {Threei}  whole thing will crumble under sheer weight of numbers
[10:39] {Threei}  Greece itself is small, but sucked in a lot of money
[10:39] {Threei}  Portugal itself is small...
[10:39] {Threei}  but two of them is a whole lot
[10:39] {Les} dumb banks should have invested in port wine vineyards instead of govts.
