[11:58] {dino} takng a break
01[12:07] {@Threei}  This morning the guessing game regarding the chances of the tentative Greek deal has begun, even as many air doubts that the plan's higher taxes and pension contributions could get past domestic Greek opposition. At the most basic level, the program looks like it will extend the current bailout by nine months and may involve the negotiation of a third bailout, valued somewhere around €30 billion.
01[12:07] {@Threei}  Capital controls may or may not be part of the program. Note that the final tranche of the existing bailout would only be enough to meet repayments due to the IMF and ECB through the end of August, with no funds left for September and October.
[12:09] {dino} joke
[12:16] {dino} sonc rinsed

01[13:13] {@Threei} Short Setup: MCD  .20 break
01[13:13] {@Threei}  If holds  .30
01[13:30] {@Threei}  interesting... I see no single mention anywhere, as if news gets totally ignored or supressed,
[13:30] {nemo} of what
01[13:30] {@Threei}  but there is a big disturbance in Armenia,
01[13:30] {@Threei}  kind of what happened in Ukraine a year and half ago which started whole chain of events
01[13:30] {@Threei}  anti-Russia movement
01[13:31] {@Threei}  yesterday, about 10K crowd, started growing rapidly after police tried to disperse them by force,
01[13:32] {@Threei}  excat repetition of Maidan events in Kyiv
[13:37] {dino} yelp
01[13:37] {@Threei}  sat on needle, dino?
01[13:37] {@Threei}  (GR) Greece Min of State Pappas: believe the deal with creditors will be approved by parliament and have the people's support
[13:40] {dino} crazy eu, greece will be in default by sept once again
[13:40] {dino} cut your losses
[13:46] {RonS} thinkin it's possibly cheaper for germany to keep the charade going rather than have euro strength with exit and Port, Spain, and Italy follow...the neg effect on their exports would be more...
01[13:47] {@Threei}  that, and one more thing:
[13:47] {dino} true ron, keeps german goods priced arificially low
01[13:48] {@Threei}  during protracted back and forth, difficult negotiations and mutual threats, they have time to manage the attitudes, so they gain more allies in blaming Greece and making it look like unreasonable party
01[13:48] {@Threei}  so if eventually Greece does exit, it happens with different backgroundL Greece against the EU
01[13:48] {@Threei}  instead of initial: each for himself
[13:49] {RonS} ...currency mercantilism...
[13:49] {dino} but the debt already got a 50% haircut and yet they give more. its like supporting a family member that just won't grow up. at some point you must cut them off
[13:50] {dino} how the taxpayers of the other eu countries put up with this is amazing
01[13:51] {@Threei}  that's exactly the result of this protracted negotiations
[13:51] {dino} s mdco .08
01[13:51] {@Threei}  if they tried to do it at once, many countriesd/taxpayers would have revolted
[13:51] {RonS} meaning the purpose of... good analysis
01[13:52] {@Threei}  but as it turned into endless string of fixes/new problems,
01[13:52] {@Threei}  they managed to manage the mood
[13:52] {RonS} and the trips and meals are marvelous...
01[13:52] {@Threei}  there! :)
[13:53] {dino} lol
[13:53] {dino} must be nice to be important
01[13:53] {@Threei}  saving Greece turned into full time job for many people for many years
01[13:54] {@Threei}  why would you ever want to give that up
[13:54] {dino} cov mdco .98, +.10
[13:55] {dino} not to mention, greece is a very nice excuse for the rest of the eu's problems
[13:56] {dino} i'm noticing that i have to trade more full lots this summer to get where i need to go

01[14:35] {@Threei}  behind the scene we pm each other "don't answer so he thinks we ignore him"
[14:36] {dino} lol
01[15:00] {@Threei}  (IR) Iran Supreme Leader Khamenei reiterates that inspections of military sites are out of the question in any nuclear deal with the P5+1 powers - Note: Negotiators within the P5+1 have claimed that inspections were a key tenet of any deal
[15:15] {dino} classic obummre
01[15:16] {@Threei}  yeah
