Nothing Really Matters?

Greek Update
By DoctoRx
Bloomberg.com is out after the close of trading with EU to Have No Deadline for End of Greek Talks.  Bloomberg was flogging the story all weekend that a deal was at hand between the Greek government and its private debtholders.  Now comes this anodyne brief piece that appears to give a Roseanne Roseannadanna spin on it:  ”Never mind”.
Does anything ever matter anymore if it’s not bullish?
Wasn’t this “PSI” initiative make-or-break?  Wasn’t the euro maybe about to go the way of the lost island of Atlantis if a deal were not struck by today?  Maybe the world economy was going to vaporize?
Now . . . fuggedaboutit?
Lawrence Peter (Yogi) Berra said that it’s never over till it’s over.
He didn’t foresee a world in which it’s seemingly never over.
At least with a bond, someday it is… well… over.  That’s a Good Thing.
That’s how doctors handle things.  Faced with a problem, you triage it and if it’s serious, you deal with it right away.  Win, lose or draw, the crisis gets a resolution.
This Greek situation is no longer a Greek tragedy or even a French farce.
It’s Theater of the Absurd.
Time to move on.  We who have followed the twists and turns of the Greek crisis (or is it “crisis”?) now look like the men and women who knew too much.  Que sera, sera.
Any way the wind blows…
