GREECE and the Euro

  1. Lol, hitting the Greek economy especially hard? All those migrants passing by Greece on their way to Germany must be a true hardship to Greeks. Ever repeating Greek drama. If they could just draw a line and exit Europe and kiss up to Russia and China then everyone would be helped. What else is a hardship to Greeks? Next week we will hear how they apply for subsidies because Greek men cannot get it up anymore or what?

    Back in July we instituted a 13/16 bear call spread which is about to expire in the money. The GREK has declined so far that there is no money in rolling it over. The June '16 13/16 bear call spread yields exactly nothing. A June 8/11 would get me $65. But I think I'll just let the GREK trade go.

    Since we spent a lot of time on the Greece problem the problem has been multiplexed into the European immigrant crises:

    Which I have no stomach for betting on.
