Χ.Α: Πάτε καλά;

ΕΠΙΤΕΛΟΥΣ ΑΠΟΚΑΤΑΣΤΑΘΗΚΕ ΤΟ ΙΝΤΕΡΝΕΤΙΚΟ ΚΑΙ ΟΧΙ ΜΟΝΟΝ ΠΡΟΒΛΗΜΑ που μας δημιούργησε πόλλά προβλήματα στη καθημερινή ροή μας.

Αλλά η αγορά έχει βάλει τον αυτόματο και τραβάει τον δρόμο της.

Εν τω μεταξύ χάρακες, αναλυτές κλπ κλπ μας έχουν ζαλίσει τον έρωτα για τις 950 τώρα, σε λίγο καιρό για τις 1000 μονάδες και ούτω καθ’εξής.

Δεν μπορούν να αντιληφτούν ότι ο δείκτης είναι βγαλμένος από τα πιο αρρωστημένα παραμύθια.

Είναι δείκτης που οδηγήθηκε στην ολοκληρωτική απαξίωση, εξαθλίωση θα λέγαμε καλύτερα, επειδή κάποια αστέρια (απο)δέχτηκαν τις 4 μετοχές της αμαρτίας και της τότε ρεμαλοσύνης να τον διαμορφώνουν και μάλιστα τρις μετά από ισάριθμα -99,9%(!!).

Πως είναι δυνατόν βρε παληκάρια, να βρίσκεται ο ΓΔ στις 950 μονάδες;; Αντιπροσωπεύουν οι 950 και οι 1000 αλλά και οι 2000 και 3000 χιλ. μονάδες την πραγματική δυναμική του ελληνικού χρηματιστηρίου; Πάτε καλά;

ΑΠΟ ΣΗΜΕΡΑ ΜΑΛΙΣΤΑ ο μ/μ δεν θα αναφερθεί ξανά στις πορείες των Δεικτών. Δεν θέλουμε να σας κοροιδεύουμε άλλο.

Greece: The Greek economy’s state “is a bit more positive” than expected two months ago, European Stability Mechanism (ESM) chief Klaus Regling said at a press conference after the Eurogroup meeting on Monday. Responding to a question on Greece, Regling said that Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras had met with the European Commission and ESM at the Eurogroup meeting, and that a mission with representatives of both EU bodies were already in Athens, with the participation of the European Central Bank (ECB), for an enhanced surveillance review.

  • Asked if lowering the primary surplus targets was mentioned, Regling said, “The joint mission – the Commission and ESM – with the participation of the ECB, is in Athens right now. So that’s the right opportunity to review the situation, to see whether our growth forecasts are still appropriate. The latest indications are actually a bit more positive than what we thought two months ago, but all that needs to be confirmed. There are other factors that affect the debt sustainability analysis, so all that will be assessed by the institutions together, and then we will report to the Eurogroup, probably in two months.”.

In other news technical teams representing Greece’s international creditors are due to return to Athens this week for talks with government officials as part of the country’s fifth post-bailout review which essentially paves the way for the use profits from Greek bonds (ANFAs and SMPs) and the reduction of high primary surplus targets. Meanwhile, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) has appointed Paolo Fioretti as mission chief for Greece, replacing Nicola Giammarioli who held the post since 2015, the ESM said in a statement.
