Stocks Tumble As Greece's Ratings Downgraded To Junk Status

The Greek and Portugal national default, as likely and now also triggered by the newly driven down debt ratings, have been coming for some time.

ECB, Germany ( Eur 35 billion) and France ( Eur 60 billion ) have current exposure within the Euro system and Greece is going down for Principal payments due on May 19 for which EUR 45 billion was sanctioned with IMF and Germany, Germany on the verge of approving legislation to save the Euro and thus Germany itself.

Meanwhile, The European Central Bank has already been signalled to eat its chops and nurse its version of “stimulus withdrawal” back into the wine cellar if it be.
