lots more bad news coming for banks, and when Greece goes bankrupt there will be a huge fall in SP.

I don't know but Greece is toast and on the day it goes bankrupt the indicies and stocks will tank big time

bernie those banks with little or no exposure to greece are therefore the ones to buy, the shorting game is over.

Will Greece honestly be allowed to go to the dogs. They will be bailed out, with more money we cannot afford.

ex none of the mainly eurozone banks have significant exposure to greece whose total indebtedness is merely a"spit in the bucket",why is the market so concerned about a minnow?

ex the answer of course is to create volatility which all traders love.

I have been shorting UK banks for all of 2011 and made more than my investing over the last five years. Even if they do not have exposure to Greek debt it will still fall at least 30% on the day Greece goes bankrupt.

I think that is probably right as the whole banking sector will get hit, but the 'safe' ones should bounce back pretty quickly, imo.
