Greece, the euro, the dollar and markets

All over the news right now, Procter & Gamble shares just dropped 50% in 5 minutes.

The US dollar is up to a 14 month high against the Euro.

Greece is rioting, and it looks like they are going in to a full on depression.

This is going to make for interesting times!

They reckon the dollar could rise to 1:1 with the Euro! E1000 was worth $1400 not so long ago. Might be time to buy dollars. If you bought E2000 worth of dollars today you would get $2500

If they go 1:1 in the next month you could sell your $2500 and make E500 quid..

I hope our Greek members are safe at the moment and not caught up in any rioting etc, its going to be a tough time for them.

Also for those thinking of visiting America this summer it could be a very expensive trip.

All happened from Americans..
So many games behind our/your back...

you should probably explain a statement like that.

Greece is no different than other countries in the EU with badly run economies such as Ireland for example, as far as I can see. Its easy to point the finger at other countries when your own is in the shit.

With everything that's happening in the world momentarily, it makes it very easy for your own problems to seem somehow, very small indeed.

My kindest regards go out to the people of Greece, those who have tragically lost their lives in a conflict which wasn't their faults or doing and to those who will have to endure what the country is to go though.

They just happen to be the first on the fail boat, that is bad management of a country's government money.

Bad news about people getting killed in a bank, for what, fucking bad times.

I live with that day in day out dude. I get paid in Ireland so am at the mercy of the dollar. Sometimes my salary is worth almost 50% more here but at the moment its worth 24% more. Its a risk, you could change your money and the rate could go up or down... risky.

i would like to explain more but don't know English so good , i give a try but forgive me for my mistakes..
First of all golden sachs(if the name is correct) helped Greek goverment for given wrong numbers to eu and now americans try to "buy" Greece...
The past few years big scandals happened here with siemens(now they borrow us money , strange ha?) , with politicians that sold everything that they could and took the money for their selfs and many more..
The new deals that are uncomfirmed yet are:
13 islands(not islands that you can have life) will be sold to goverment of israel... Another one strange is that our seas has oil and now american companies will take that oil (strange??) and the worse is that we split the benefit with they turkey..
So the american company will take 60% of benefit..

Hey Dylan
Dont dout wastegates post. We are simple citizen and cant proof all the big games behind our backs so easy.

This is a greek video..you may want to view it from 8:50 min to see what the plans for the Greece and other countrys aswell from the big bosses!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK8cqL8sl5k Greek people should watch it from the start.

It no dout that our politician stole the puplic money..for their selves.
It is no dout that simple people become politician and now they have billions.
It is no dout that foreign companys like siemens give money under the table to officialy accept offers for their systems 7 times overpriced that the actually value.
It is no dout that we pay for submarines wich are not sailing straight.
I can make a list that big that your server could not support about how they cheat the greek people.
Anyway..few familys are changing the political senario over the few past decades. Familys who stole the public money and add extra vat to greek people to compensate with the det.\
Now we called back to pay extra ,they cut the pension from old people,they cut puplic salarys etc. All this the Greek people cant afford anymore..and Greece will be burnd from the explosion of the people. (wich is fair enough)
I dont want to start a political conversation as i am not qualified to this section..but you should see out of the box and realize few things..
Who teach you dimocracy guys?
Who invent medical?
Who invent trigonometry?
I can make a big list aswell.Even your language has a lot words with greek roots.
All start from Greece! Fact!
You know our history and you know he gave the lights to the rest of the world in sients and other sections like philosophy,nuclear power etc.
Some people dont like this and want Greece to beg for respect.
Some countrys stole our ancient treasures and make money of them. (are you aware of this? you may know the country :p)
Other contry own us 90 billion euros from first world war for the disaster it made to us! When we will receive those money?
Some people who playing just chest to our backs are modifying history books so the new people cant learn the true history.Can you imagine the result 50 years in future?
Do you know Greece have so much petrol to feed total europe for 1 million years:p Do you know that we dont produce not even one botlle of oil?Why?
What is the reason Turkey dont want our boarder as it is? Because our side had petrol? Just a thout...
We have plenty of undergound resourses,diamonds,ouranioun,osmioum, and other military metals. Thats why all need a part of Greece.From all directions.
You know we dont produce anything anymore and we have to inport everything? You know that we export something and then reimport the same item at double price?

All this and many many more had lead our economy to this level.

To contol a country you can do it either with force(military) or det. We have the second.
I suggest Greek people need to wake up and make revolution to change the situation.
Nobody can live with 350 euros per month.(pension)
Our basic salary is 750 euros and they want to reduce it more and double the bills.
Again..Greece will be burned next few months.
Taxis are appeared to be a kind of medicine but overdose to a medicine will kill the ill who is at hospital.

Thanks Kon! Appreciate mate! I dont have any economical issues so far as my salary is way to big from what other people receive around.
The one who will face some problems are the old guys with the pension cut and the public emploeys wich are at about 1-1,2 million people. They call them to pay the det that so many govermant people stole for 3 decades or so without not even one of them lost his furtune or go to prison.And the funny of the story is that the same people are still on the goverment.Meaning the same people who lead us to this situation promising that they will get us out...LOL
LOL for greek people still beliving their words.
Anyway..we will see how this will develop.Our entire political system is corupt from bottom to top.
