NEW YORK (BuyActive) - Many speculators have bet millions on Greece's default, a situation that could possibly lead the country and Châu Âu into chaos. All these fears have succeeded in decreasing shares of BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, and Credit Agricole bởi thêm than 10 percent.

Ok, here is the link for this article.
It was written bởi a frence journalist and i thought i should share it with you. The bài viết is in Greek and English.
