I hate to break it to you but it won't be ok. Greece should have left the eurozone three years ago but the bankers demanded their money back so Greece was forced to take bailouts to make banks whole and now look what's happened, it's 1.3 trillion in debt and rising. This isn't the crucial factor however, US banks have written dodgy CDs contracts on European debt, these are the same weapons of financial terrorism that caused 2008. When Greece exits the euro and countries like Spain start to wobble these contracts will fall apart and just like 2008 there is no such thing as bilateral netting, none of these gaming houses are hedged because that case assumes that the other party can pay the contract, just as AIG proved this isn't the case, the financial house of cards will topple because everything is linked like some hellish ponzi daisy chain. In essence Greece is the last of our worries, it's the too big to fail corrupt casinos writing derivative contracts yet again!
I reckon the crazy manipulated hong kong property bubble is due a fall too, the bubble has been blown too hard.
Marc Faber of gloom doom boom blog has predicted a 100% chance of recessionin 2013, not that we ever left recession mind you, money printing solves nothing.
