家园 ya, they could not short gov

bonds, but they could hold CDS contracts.

European politicans already started to accused American hedge funds. Not surprising at all. ^-^ If I could buy CDS contract, I will have done that long time ago.

Almost 300% return in 3 months.

Five years ago, James Grant, a celebrated American bond analyst, told his clients that it would be a good idea to go short on Greek bonds. He suggested the best way to do this was to buy new market instruments called credit default swaps, which offer investors a form of insurance against a bond default.

Some senior European bankers and politicians are convinced that powerful Wall Street hedge funds are targeting Greece, by “shorting” it with CDS instruments; speculation is rife that the recent wild swings in CDS prices have enabled some to reap fat profits.

Market is very efficient. Hedge funds are America's unlisted "financial army" or WMD, AGAINST Europe.
