Reuters commentary 3/7/15

Hugo Dixon : "If the Greeks vote “No” in Sunday’s referendum, the euro zone authorities may just shrug their shoulders and think that Athens had it coming. But if the people vote “Yes”, the euro zone authorities will surely want to avoid such a catastrophe."

Paul Glader : "Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, of the left-wing Syriza party, is playing games of poker, chicken and Russian roulette simultaneously. He is playing poker with EU finance ministers, hoping they are bluffing and won’t actually turn off the spigot of loans, bonds and possible debt relief flowing into Greece. Tsipras seems to believe Merkel and other leaders would encourage the troika — the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission — to release the final scheduled $8.1 billion bailout payment to Greece, the cradle of democracy."
