European Debt Crisis and Greek Bond Yields

The European financial situation deteriorates as Moody's threatens to downgrade French banks, which would trigger massive fund withdrawals. In Athens, strikes and violence continue as Greek bond yields reach extreme levels, effectively signaling a one-sided gamble on the country's solvency. The hosts discuss the difficulty for amateur investors to hedge against these collapses using credit default swaps.
