And isn't all grand when only 25 years ago we were told the working week would be 4 days, retirement 55yo, and so on?

We were screwed all this time by spineless politicians that bought out their next re-elections.

Yes. The greeks actually carried through with this promise but as it has turned out, it didn't serve them at all well. All they were doing was living off money that they weren't earning. Well now the time has come to pay.
Throw the wasters out of the european union.
Do it now!
Get it over and done with and stop putting off the inevitable.
They're broke! Bankrupt!! Totally defunct!!!

"Beware of greeks baring gifts" can now officially be changed to "Beware of greeks asking for gifts."

I think we are better off still working the 5 day week and retiring at 65.

My advice in the current financial climate is do not touch CFD's.
At the moment it's anyones guess if the market will go up or down or anywhere at all so it's really hard to make an educated guess as to where a particular stock will be in the near future. If the market flops you run the possibility of getting continual margin calls which can end up costing you everything you've got, plus some of what you haven't got.
CFD's are hard to keep track of your position if you get a few different ones and this is not something that you want to lose track of.
If you want to play on the stock market, just buy fully paid ordinary shares and limit it to investing what you can afford to lose if things go belly up.

CFDs??.........You mean Conjob Frigging Derivatives!!
