Top EU officials eye deal by end-May as technical-level talks 

 

make gradual progress

 

 

 
As Greek government officials expressed their confidence that a deal with the country’s creditors is close, top European officials indicated Tuesday that although there has been progress in negotiations, an agreement is unlikely before the end of the month.
In comments during an interview with Star channel that began late on Monday and finished in the early hours of yesterday morning, Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said he believed a deal was likely “in about a week.” At around the same time the so-called Brussels Group of negotiators were pondering a Greek proposal for overhauling value-added tax rates. According to government sources, progress has been achieved on the technical level with the two sides converging on a primary surplus target for this year of about 1 percent of gross domestic product. Differences remain however on the issues of pension and labor reform. Another teleconference was due late last night with face-to-face talks expected to take place in Brussels Wednesday.
Addressing a joint press conference in Berlin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande said talks must be accelerated to produce an agreement by the end of May.
“We must speed things up,” Hollande said, adding that Greece has “financial needs so financial resources need to be found.” Merkel also underlined the need for an agreement by the end of May. Both leaders said they were prepared to meet with Greek President Alexis Tsipras this week on the sidelines of a European Union leaders’ summit in Riga.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said he expected a deal by late May or early June; he also rebuffed reports that he had proposed a compromise deal to Athens.
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said talks were moving too slowly despite progress in “sub-areas,” according to Reuters. Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem, for his part, told RTL Z channel: “We are intensively busy with the Greeks and we are making progress, I would say cautiously.” He added that it was “not a given” that a breakthrough could be achieved in Riga.
According to sources, Tsipras is keen to secure political support in Riga that would allow eurozone finance ministers to call an extraordinary summit – preferably next Monday which, however, is a public holiday in Brussels. Greece hopes that a Eurogroup meeting could give the green light for the release of much-needed rescue loans. The hope is for a portion of 3.7 billion euros in European loan money to be released as the International Monetary Fund appears unwilling to release its 3.5 billion euros unless the reforms proposed by Greece are similar to those promised by the previous government. At the very least Athens hopes that a positive Eurogroup statement could prompt the European Central Bank to allow Greece to issue more treasury bills, which would tide the country over until the two sides hammer out a broader pact in summer. That deal should include a debt restructuring and an investment plan, according to Athens.
Greece will struggle to meet a 300-million-euro repayment due to the IMF on June 5 without the release of loan money. Labor Minister Panos Skourletis conceded Tuesday that “things will be difficult” if an agreement is not reached by then.

Subject: Make the BIG Money;
 
 
 
That`s what everyone would like to do - make the BIG Money. Trouble is, they don`t know how. And it isn`t taught in college either! Billionaire T. Boone Pickens volunteered to teach a college class on Leveraged Corporate Buy-outs. To motivate his students, he offered a $50,000 reward if their research turned up a genuine qualified potential candidate. Before anyone got it, the college BANNED the deal!  Evidently, they want you "Educated" but not "Winning"$$$$. After all, why would a student slave away on meaningless College Curriculum if he learned to make money like that!!!
 
 
 
Some of the old - slower methods no longer work due to extremely low interest rates [compounding].  When people think of "Investing", it`s always to "BUY Something". But the real truth IS; The DOWNCYCLES are usually 2 - 3 times more rapid and more powerful than the upcycles. An inspection of numerous charts of "anything" proves that. I know a few methods but have not had a chance to use them recently. But the Stockmarket soon may be ripe for those large downcycles - finally!  I have no "signals" yet, but this can change rapidly.  It`s very satisfying to watch it develop, get the signal, take the position and watch it shoot out of the starting gate like a race horse, as naive investors panic sell.
 
 
 
America`s Stockmarket, currently, laborously climbing higher like ancient Sisyphus pushing the stone in Hades. Fueled by cheap debt-money and corporations buying their own stock; Higher Interest Rates, especially would kill it. Higher Interest Rates will kill Real Estate, Jobs, and everything else.  It`s a matter of timing and that requires patience.
 
 
 
Stockmarket, torturously climbing, maybe producing a  "Wedge Pattern" - not a good sign.

Longer term chart gives a classic 1929 expanded triangle but much larger and longer!  Doubtful if this is a good sign either. First quarter 2008 was very difficult due to ultra-extreme daily volatility. My ex-girlfriend lost $135,000. by 2009. And my Aunt lost $50,000. in AT&T. [they didn`t ask me for any advice] None was recovered.  My bigger winning streak was catching those downcycles in 2001-2002.

Pres. Andrew Jackson was a GREATAMERICAN HERO. The Jews just keep slapping your face America!  Consider this popular little song about him;  True "Americanism" is still in our hearts , our minds, our souls, and the barrels of our guns;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Harriet Tubman could replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill

Why don`t you guys stop arguing?  Here is the "Libyan Islamic Military Group" who fought in both Libya and Syria and likely on Jew-Bankster`s money and Jew-Stolen military equipment from America.  Leader; Abdelhakim Belhadj in photos. Add AIPAC Jew-Bastard Senator John McCain here;  Ha HA! Imagine these guys living next door to YOU!!!!

Well I guess we'll have to agree  that we will not agree on this subject.

And mark my words,  attacks will happen here. They already have.

Fort hood
Recruitment office in Arkansas
Underwear bomber
Times Square bomber
Boston bomber
Shoe bomber
OK City womens head cut off in name of islam.
Dearborn Michigan


Thats a sampling.  Not all attacks succeed.  Did the jews commit these acts?  Is that truly what you both believe?

Keep in mind the Jew-Goal for the Middle East; It`s all suppose to belong to Israhell. They will use every trick. One of my friends still cannot see the MOSSAD-ISIS CONNECTION but we have photo evidence so...And then the Libyan LIMG moved to Syria...And here is your LIMG Leader, likely spearheading war wherever possible.

I am wandering about this ISIS rapid advancement in Iraq.
 
So much the USA as much as the allies like Australia, have sent specialists to train!! The
 
Iraqi  army.
 
 
 
WHAT were they doing for a period of 10 years occupation? I thought they were training the 
 
local army.
 
 
 
I guess the same happens in Afganistan. No sooner they get out and find ways to reenter.
 
Then presently they bomb the fanatic muslims only 5 times per day, whereas they were doing
 
45 raids in Afganistan and over 80 in Libya.  They do not wish to do much serious against the ISIS.
