Syriza and the effects on the markets

Squeaky bum time.
Exit polls suggest quite a large victory margin for Syriza. If that's true they may feel they have a mandate to go further and faster with their reforms. May well dent euro stock markets tomorrow. Hopefully the positive QE effect is greater.0 -

Kebabs green across the board :eek:Squeaky bum time.
Too many chillies.....Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

Blimey, I do miss Stavros.

Seeming more and more likely Syriza will win in the Greek elections tomorrow (going off the betting odds)
What will this hold for European equities? Coming off the back of such strong gains from the QE announcements will it all unravel again? I have read that this time the Eurozone is more prepared for such an eventuality - other countries like Spain and Ireland are in a stronger position than a few years ago and any contamination will be very "contained". Still it seems like this will be a substantial change in direction for Greece. Exit from the Euro and defaulting on debt both strong possibilities that could have ramifications for investments in the short term.
What about the political situation in Spain? The EU isn't resolving the issue of high unemployment.0 -

Nigel will soon put a stop to this very unpatriotic behaviour and create a planet on which none of these foreigners can take british jobs away.

My reference was to Podemos. Apparently leading the national polls in Spain currently.
Concerns are the changing political winds blowing through Europe will lead to a rise in austerity parties in both Eire and Italy.0 -

Thats why your slave box costs so much..0
