This will be a thread to keep tabs on the 1st world falling chips as they race to the bottom...

We start off with Greece.

Greece Faces Downgrade to Emerging-Market Status by MSCI

http://www.businessweek....-e-dot-staying-frontier




Quote:
“The market has already made up its mind about Greek equities,” Michael Shaoul, the New York-based chairman of Marketfield Asset Management, wrote in an e-mail yesterday. “MSCI is simply bowing to the inevitable. In a sense they really need a new category, blown-up developed markets.”

To join the euro they did some gymnastics in their national books and came up with very rosy figures courtesy of one Goldman sucks. 4yrs later they were hosting the olympics. Then the sky fell as Zeus and Co struck anger thunders in heaven in 2006 to teach spartans a lesson. Then in 2008 the global gods decided that too much gymnastics was being peddled by the 1st world and unleash the GFC tsunami. At first it seemed like a storm, but 5yrs down the line, the globe is realizing it's a new climate and not some weather condition!

Kohl and Mitterrand ignored warnings from economists about the state of finances of Greece and Italy ..typical burying their heads in the sand. I think they wanted to be seen as new "European Kings"; So Germany and France should pay for this short sightedness by propping up Greece.
