It is a big mess driven by the banking system and corrupted governments

After they joined the euro zone, the countries of southern Europe suddenly discovered they could borrow money at German-style rates, and any hope of sorting out their dodgy finances vanished. But it was France and Germany who set the worst example, when they broke the euro-zone rules they had forced on others.

Furthermore, the European authorities ran several "stress tests". And the banks reported - every time - that they were OK. Of course, the banks tell the European Governments what to do and what to say.

And now they are all swimming in the same polluted water.

What is the impact on the markets? We have a disciplined approach based on time-tested economic and financial indicators.
