"I want a DIVORCE... "

I want a divorce…

Perhaps this is a little bit of a teaser headline, but the reality is Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, must be thinking that she would love a divorce from these other euro countries. Politically, it would solve a great many problems for her.

Here you have Germany, who is Europe's economic powerhouse, being pulled down by the likes of Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. If you were in Angela Merkel's shoes right now, wouldn't you want to divorce these countries?

Now the politicians can't blame this one on the banks. They were the ones that overspent, they were the ones who recklessly put programs into place that just cost too much money. So there you have it! It's not the banks, it is the politicians who are the problem...

Does anybody believe that Greece is going to pay back what they owe? Their debt now stands at 165% of GDP. There is no way that Greece can get themselves out of this. Will Ireland, Spain, and Portugal be able to hold on if Greece goes under?

Lastly, everyone loved the market on the upside last week. Today that sentiment has changed as the problems in Europe are once again in the forefront of every investors mind. Europe is the tail that is wagging the world economy.
