Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

NO looks to be the firm call now with indices down lots

I hope you haven't done a Paddy Pantsdown and promised to eat your hat in public, Cyners. Your statement about Greece not exiting the euro may well come back to haunt you.

If it is NO, then chuck them out.

i don't think it will hils, though i would certainly far rather tsipras wasn't leading the band
if the figures you have just posted are correct (a) i'm amazed thge turnout was so low and (b) that "no" was favoured so heavily

Throw them out. They have been pests all along. It should have been obvious how they would behave before they faked their way in. They won't stick to any new deals. The percentages yes and no will alter a lot yet.

If anyone thinks that a no vote has strengthened Greece's position at the negotiating table, they've got rocks in their head. Since they fell into default and the deal that was on offer expired, Greece has got no more ammunition.
The best they can expect if they want to stay in the EZ is to suck it up to Angie and accept anything she's kind enough to offer them, 'cause trust me, Greece is a thorn in her side right now and, deep down, Germany will be glad to get shot of them!

(Sunday) FTSE showing -150, and imo that's pretty much low enough
any disagreement?

I thought these Greeks were broke. Judging by the TV news they seem to be able to afford large flags!

It may turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory for the Greeks.

Or not Hays, personally I would love it if Greece says No! Be a hard road but they will survive.

I don't mind them voting no so long as they leave. In fact I would be happy if they voted yes and left.

They're already in default and, this Friday, they've got 2bn € of 6-month T-bills maturing. In total, they've got to stump up 7bn € by the end of the month.
They'd better start printing those IOUs tomorrow in preparation of issuing a parallel currency.

Hopefully, they will be told tomorrow that the deal is exactly the same. In other words, they have just wasted their time

How reliable is the Greek Ministry of the Interior at running elections?

They wont, cos the deal has changed.
Now Merkel has a problem, the Greeks have had a vote, and the vote result was to tell the bankers feck off.
In other words, the greeks are probably fecked which ever way it goes, but at least they have hope now.

The Greek government has no mandate to do anything. It's a con. Why not have a referendum on whether the EU should give £1m to all Greeks or a referendum on whether the Earth is flat or if 1+1=4?

IG Special Sunday Futures trading suggests FTSE100 to open -2% tomorrow at 6460 in light of Greek exit polls and likely No/Oxi vote
