No surprise, I figured that I would wake up to an announcement of a Greek agreement. Now perhaps the market can pay attention to earnings season. The problems in Greece are not going to go away but perhaps the news will move off the front page. I keep in the back of my mind that Germany which is in the drivers seat right now has decidedly negative demographics going forward, similar to Japan in 1989 when they seemed invincible.
