Thanks for the info,SaltyMutt on Germanys court ruling.  I would add it is not the court that is precipitating a possible crisis, but the overspending of nations outside of their means for decades.  Sounds like the chickens are coming home to roost. Where are the people of wisdom to suggest simple things like cut spending?  Instead we have more simpletons who come up with the same tried and true method, with a different name, used for years.  Fire up the printing presses boys.  The populace is too dumb to stop us. Or doesn't care as long as their government check shows up on time.   Stand by for heavy seas and batten down the hatches.  A big blow is comin.  My best to you,  Jim  On a positive note, there are so many stocks that have gone up 1000%+ in the last two months.  It is amazing.
