To put things in perspective:
- Greece’s IMF loan that they “default” on is $1.6B. That’s roughly Wal-Mart’s revenue every 30 hours.
- Greece is an extremely small economy. Their total output is about the size of Houston’s.
- This isn’t 2010. The Eurozone is much better prepared to handle a worst case scenario in Europe. The firewalls have been put in place whether it’s swap lines, ESM, QE, LTRO, etc.
