Former Greek Prime Minister Papandreou Says Greece Will Not Leave The Euro

 
Papandreou also says that the severe austerity measures demanded in the most recent bailout by the European Central Bank (ECB) can indeed be tweaked so that they will be more acceptable to the Greek public. Greece not only needs greater fiscal responsibility but it needs growth.
 
Greece no longer has the option of applying band-aid types of solutions. This is also true in addressing the sovereign debt issues of other European countries like Spain and Italy. The most important thing for Greece to do is to show that it is credible to its European partners. This means signing on to an austerity program that may need to be adjusted slightly but that will still foster greater responsibility as a government.
 
Papandreou supports the unified banking solution now being discussed by the European Commission that would not only provide a broader base of insurance for banks but a better monitoring system to support greater fiscal responsibility among Eurozone members. He blames Greece’s current problems in part on the withdrawal of capital from Greek banks by other European banks based on perceived risks to that capital.

MEMBER REVIEWS 
William Desormeau, Jr.  
It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig, Bob and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation
Lynn Najman, CFP®
I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Bob, Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit.

I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer and Robert Keebler to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess.  A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available.  
Ron Roge, MS, CFP®
I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A.

John R. Day, CPA/PFS®

I’ve been a member since 2011 and never miss the monthly webinars with Fritz Meyer. I appreciate Fritz’s independent views on the economy and markets and Bob Keebler keeps me updated on excellent tax planning ideas. A4A is a great value!

I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.®   

Dan Hawley, CFP® 

A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice.
