    The Euro may be the worst of a bad bunch of currencies, but which currency can you have any faith in today?

    Although it's unlikely that the euro will continue in its present form, it seems unlikely that there will be major disruption to economic activity within the EU.

    There seems to be little downside of Greece leaving the euro and many upsides; probably the same is true of Portugal, Spain, Ireland and possibly Italy.

    Obviously it would need proper management but it's only a currency after all.
