Italy and Greece pass the baton to the technocrats, but does it really matter at this point?

As we start this trading week, we've seen a change in the governments of both Greece and Italy, as the rule of the technocrats is now upon us. They can make the hard decisions that politicians can't seem to, but it is a bitter pill for the citizens of those countries to swallow. The bigger problem, and one that is complex and not easy to solve, will be social unrest.

No matter how things are sliced and diced in Europe, there is still a mega amount of money owed to banks that needs to be reconciled. The way the markets are opening today, it would appear as though no one is easy with the current changes. It may just be a case of "buy the rumor and sell the news."

Here's a legal way to trade on inside information

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Should our elected officials be able to use inside information to pad their own pockets? Members of Congress and their aides have regular access to powerful political intelligence, and many have made well-timed stock market trades in the very industries they regulate. Is the practice legal and do you approve of it?

Investors are concerned about how this super committee is going to cut 1.2 trillion dollars in Continue reading "First it was Greece, then it was Italy, now it's ...Weekend Update" →

CAN THREE BIG CHANGES IN EUROPE, SOLVE THE SOVEREIGN DEBT PROBLEM?

Greece's swearing-in of new Prime Minister Lucas Papademos is one change. The second change is a new president of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi. The third change, and this is a big one, and has not taken place yet, is when and if Silvio Berlusconi resigns from office. Mario Monti, is apparently the front-runner for the job. Not a big deal for Italy to change governments as they have had over 60 new ones since 1948.

With all the changes taking place in Europe, it isn't going to change the overall dire financial picture overnight. Changing governments is one thing, that easy, getting the citizens of that country to accept draconian austerity measures is a totally different can of worms.
