The International Swaps and Derivatives Association's Decisions Committee ruled that the Greek government's retroactive insertion of collective action clauses (CACs) – which could force private sector bondholders to accept the agreed deal with haircuts estimated around 70% – does not constitute a credit event.

This really is the Emperors Clothes.
How can a 70% default on any debt not be a credit event?
Answer when it suits the politicians and bankers.
There is an absolute menacing and cold dishonestly about thus that I find horrifying.
AS Bing o said some days on this thread, ago in fact the Greeks have defaulted on their debt.
This is just a very shoddy cover up which cannot last.

€130bn for 11m people = €11818 for every man woman and child. And that's just the overspend!!!!
The cover-up will not last forever, but whether anyone will be able to do anything about it is doubtful.

The retrospective insertion of the CAC clauses in itself doesn't constitute a credit event - if, however, the CAC is actually invoked, and that does enforce an involuntary loss on a bondholder, then - as far as I understand it - that would constitute a credit event, and credit default insurance would apply.This really is the Emperors Clothes.

Which is, frankly, what some insured bondholders actually want - having bought the bonds at a fraction of the face value, they're looking at being paid 100% of the value in the event of a default - although there will be an almighty bun-fight before that happens.

They still haven't got any money, God only knows what they spend it on - for such a small nation they sure as hell get through an awful lot of extra debt each month - most people could live on their extra borrowings without much trouble.

I said this Globs a few pages back,it an easy sum but thats just the recent truance payment it is a lot more in total,the country has recieved unprecedented financial aid (in modern times) what have they the people to show for all the billions?€130bn for 11m people = €11818 for every man woman and child.

What has the Euro zone achieved? If its failing why heap more money in? What positive do the Greeks get from this? Its just a train crash really unbeliveable stupidity in todays world.
The only reason is ego of the unsustainable unelected gravy train that is the Euro hopefully soon to derail with Van roompoy and co hopefully out of work,the greeks are a side show funded for selfish reasons.

Surely it has happened and is therefore an event and is a technical default by virtue of a 3rd party affecting the value and tradeability of the Greek (sovereign?)Bonds which are now worthless as collateral.Which is, frankly, what some insured bondholders actually want - having bought the bonds at a fraction of the face value, they're looking at being paid 100% of the value in the event of a default - although there will be an almighty bun-fight before that happens.

Are we still betting on March 23rd being the date for meltdown?
An interesting and challenging question.We are in a phoney truce of insolvent collapse engineered by the EU using the Euro recklessly as a massive money pit. Rather than admit the problem and face the consequences head on.
Greece is as a matter of fact in default NOW. It is just politicking to pretend Greece has not defaulted. Greece has refused to pay 70% of the Sovereign Debt of Greece. Properly issued, perfectly valid Greek Sovereign Debt. Supported by Bonds to the full value.
This nonsense may make the EU happy but it cannot keep Greece afloat. Collapse is inevitable: the EU can chose how this will happen but whatever the EU do it will happen. Way past the point of saving Greece from Insolvency.
My guess is later this month. But as a matter of fact the Bonds are now worthless. Greece has defaulted, but the EU are playing Alice in Wonderland. Not for long.

I am a big fan of your posts but one word above I take issue with - "inevitable". Nothing, but nothing, is inevitable in this process. The EU can stay irrational longer than the markets can find it out. To paraphrase Bruce Springsteen - "money from nothing - and the EU kicks on for free"

I see you're a Geert Wilders fan.Wilders campaigned against the "Islamisation of the Netherlands" and has compared the Quran with Mein Kampf. In 2009 he was banned by the home office from entering UK as a threat to society.
Sounds a nice guy!
What do people make of this recent spate of resignations - they seem to be sharply gathering pace as of February.
"It is not known under what circumstances these individuals have left their positions, I make no judgement on that. I find the timing of so many resignations extremely curious and a temporal marker in history of high significance. No one should assume I make any judgement about the character of these people. I frankly don't know their reputations except for a few rather famous ones.
