S&P Ratings

Italy don't like them:

(AGI) Milan - Two S&P analysts are being investigated in Trani on suspicion of cutting Italy's rating on the basis of false data. Frank Gill and Moritz Kraemer, "when performing their rating activity, agreed to and announced the downgrade of the sovereign debt rating of the Republic of Italy, confirming a negative outlook, based on untrue, biased, inconsistent and incorrect data (and therefore partly false, as stated by expert economists), being aware that such decisions could significantly affect the price of financial instruments, especially Italy's bonds". This is the view expressed in a passage of the search order signed by assistant prosecutor Michele Ruggiero, following last Friday's downgrade of Italy's rating. . .

Sherlock had to die, otherwise all his friends would have been killed. He obviously faked his own death but how? Maybe a drug. Maybe a fake corpse. We will have to see!!!

Greece had 20% inflation before euro and their currency devalued like 3 times in the decade before joining euro. After that they've had stable currency and stable low inflation.

The main mistake was allow unchecked borrowing through in theory there we EU limits, it's just nobody enforced them properly.
