As an observer of markets - whenever everyone focuses on one thing - like Greece and Europe - maybe they miss issues that are far more important - such as a meaningful slowdown in India and China.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Markets are saying pretty much what I'm saying too: that Greece is doing what it can, but that Greece is not going to be able to carry the weight of all of Europe and the other problems that Europe has.
In the long term, Greece is an important market for us.
Markets are frequently ahead of, and often out of sync with, the economy.
For the next three years, we're going to see different economies work out different problems. For European economies, especially Greece, it would be through default.
Dealing with Greece's problems will be more difficult if Greece is not a member of the eurozone.
Emerging markets are hugely important.
I think the facts reveal that the European partners have taken extraordinary measures to help Greece address its problems.
In a crisis, markets always look to see who is the next-worst off and proactively begin shying away from them.
Markets have built in inefficiencies, serious inefficiencies which are well known.
For me, geopolitical issues are becoming more important, because how can you understand economy if you don't understand geopolitics? People think economists just deal with spreadsheets and charts. That's a narrow-minded caricature.
