The big party right after the Greek stock market crash!

globinfo freexchange

After five weeks of absolute "silence" the Greek stock market re-opened on Monday, August 3rd with a huge crash, as expected. Some were talking about "black Monday" similar to that of the 1987 black Monday on October 19th when the NY stock market sank by 23%.

On Monday, the general index in the Greek stock market sank by 16.23%. The biggest losses came from the banking sector with a fall of 29.92% reaching limit down.

On Wednesday the banking stocks were "unlocked" from the limit down to find buyers. The National Bank closed at 0.455 euros - 24.295% fall, Alpha Bank at 0.112 euros - 29.56% fall, Eurobank at 0.052 euros - 26.765% fall, Piraeus Bank at 0.138 euro - 29.59 fall.

The banking stocks reached the floor, so the next day the big party has started through the massive buying. The banking index marked earnings of 17.78% The stock of the National Bank rose by 27.47%, Eurobank by 17.31%, Alpha Bank by 11.61% and Piraeus Bank by 3.62%. Apparently, the massive buying came after the massive collapse of the banking stocks for three days.

According to reports, the rise of the banking stocks is due to massive buying by foreign investors, among them, HSBC, UBS and Goldman Sachs!


Why the international banksters rushed to buy Greek banking stocks from the doomed, as appears until now, Greek banking system?

Except from the ridiculously low stock prices, the answer comes from the new "agreement"- capitulation of Greece with the creditors. For one more time, a huge amount of the new loan will be used for the recapitalisation of the Greek systemic banks, while Greece will be obliged to "deal" with the red household loans. The road for the "distress funds" vultures is now open. Remember:

           One recent example of anarcho-capitalism in Greece, is the information according to which, various "distress funds" rushing to buy the red household loans from the Greek banks, in very low prices. The state, in this case, seems that cannot do many things to intervene as regulator of the red loans. It seems that no one can block such funds from obtaining house loans and therefore, the corresponding houses in ridiculous prices. (fa.ev/maggies-ghost-haunting-europe)

The pre-schedule of yesterday's agreement between Greece and the creditors refers to a complete plan for the recapitalisation, enhanced liquidity and "treatment" of the red loans for the banks.

The big party of the global financial mafia on Greek corpse will be continued ...

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Iran could be the US’s Boer war: a hollow victory that marks the beginning of the end of empire

US leaders anticipated a walkover. Now they’re embroiled in a conflict that could hasten the end of US economic dominance  by Larry Elliott   Nobody gave the Boers a prayer when the war in South Africa began in 1899. It was farmers ranged against the might of the British empire, and the expectation was that resistance would quickly crumble. Eventually, might did prevail. Britain won the Boer war, but it was a hollow victory that took the best part of three years to achieve and came at a high cost. The blow to British prestige – coming at a time when its global hegemony was under threat from fast-growing countries such as the US – was severe. Far from highlighting the extent of Britain’s power, it exposed its limitations. A century and a quarter later, the US risks being embroiled in its equivalent of the Boer war. What should have been a walkover threatens to become a prolonged conflict. The Iranians are using guerrilla tactics, just as the Boers did, with much success. There ...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

The dominant elite ready to break the "social contract"

Hyper-automation will allow the super-rich to “get rid” of the rest by system failure Since the French revolution and the new form of the urban states-democracies, the ruling class had to make the so-called "social contract" with the majority. From the moment that the dominant urban class took the power from feudalism and monarchy, should had to find a way to protect the means of production and the labor force. Therefore, the ethnic consciousness in each state served to bound the majority in order to shape national armies to protect the ruling class interests. In exchange, the ruling urban class had given the so-called social state, labor rights, etc., through the nation-state as a carrier and guarantor for all these benefits for the middle and lower classes. Since then, there have been a lot of battles and the majority managed to conquer some benefits. At the start of 20th century, the technology progress had brought the mass production. Western s...
