The cold day and the low tones of M.M, the wait for movement from “Rafina”, the bad sign for the banks, the shipowners & the Aegean Baltic Bank
The Market’s deaf ear to good news, listening only to catastrophic scenarios
K.M., Samaras, Karamanlis, the elections (that don’t exist) and the dangerous turn, Paulson and the bankers, Telis and the brakes at Porto Carras
Louis Vuitton to the rescue, new casino and will the bubble burst in Trump’s hands?
The metro and its logo (as if that was the main concern), SYRIZA on ice, the Eurobank-Kyr Pantelis lawsuit (how many episodes can this go on?), OTE-Nova deal brings in the crowd
Hello! I’ll start with a “topic” that caught my attention a couple of days ago, making the rounds on social media — the logo of the Thessaloniki Metro, set to be inaugurated on the 30th of the month. The internet went wild, with fierce criticism about the logo — “It looks awful,” “They made it […]
Marigona, Genscher, and the “chosen” leader, the urban planning of Cyclades, the SYRIZA debate, and Vassilios Kostetsos in the elections
Greetings! Journalism does have its good moments, like yesterday when the relentless journalistic spirit of Frixos Drakontidis finally uncovered, after thorough investigations (more reliable than those in wiretapping cases), who Marigona is. Yesterday, Olympiakos almost lost at SEF because even the basketball players were probably staring at her instead of the ball. So, we found […]
The farewell to VV, Mitsotakis and the “keep away,” the sale of Open (I’ve been young and now I’m old), and the wolf Thymios in the Cyclades
Hello! Yesterday’s headlines were dominated by the news of Vardis Vardinogiannis’s passing. The patriarch of Greece’s most powerful business family died at 91, leaving behind, first and foremost, his name to his children and grandchildren, and an enormous business empire. He was a unique character, stern but approachable to those he respected, highly politicized, with […]
POTUS, K.M. and Pompeo, the Presidential List, the kid who can’t run errands, ION’s sweet deals, and the brawl over defense systems
Hello, K.M. spoke on the phone yesterday with the new POTUS, inviting him to Athens. Everything went smoothly, but we need to see his new administration and “our points of support,” my source told me. They clarified that when the Prime Minister met Pompeo in Athens, it was already known in relevant circles that the […]
The endless popcorn of SYRIZA, the oligarchs and the “balance” of power, the mysteries of M.M., and the breaking of the duopoly by the Competition Commission
– Hello there! What a lovely weekend we just had—bright but chilly with the sun showing its teeth, and thankfully no rain (let’s see how long this lasts in November). And of course, there was plenty of popcorn and spectacle, whether it was at the Gazi live event where SYRIZA was convening, or at the […]
Good evening & goodnight (SYRIZA), Zannis-Loro, Sammy the chef-Dubai and the Arabs, the Jacobs business, the explosion in the EBITDA of GEK TERNA
The commercial real estate crisis deepens in the US
The initial thoughts of M.M on Trump, three strong partners for OAKA, a Chandris in construction, Barba Stathis sold at a premium
Hello, everyone, so what the markets, primarily the American ones but also major centers of political and business power around the world, have been anticipating over the past two to three weeks has happened.

The White House in the second Trump era, K.M and the middle class, HeliKon and ADMIE, the sweet coffee of Doukas schools, the golden dividend of Attiki odos
Hello, a quick update on the U.S. elections: the overwhelming and even sweeping winner of the electoral contest in the U.S. is Donald Trump, which highlights, if nothing else, the tragic handling by the Democrats in the “gasping handover” at the last moment from the incapacitated Biden to the already pale Harris. A very interesting […]
