Spain 10-Year Government Bond Technical Analysis Chart:
As I mentined before, Greece crisis is not as important as many believe it's a regional problem. You should become nervous if Spain or Portugal become next Greece. In my April 12th article, I wrote about the possibility of credit downgrade of Spain. S&P just did what I been talking about. On April 28th, Standar & Poor's downgraded Spain’s credit rating from +AA to AA. Please note if Spain losses it rating to +BB; you should run for hills.
Spain economy is much bigger than Greece and will cause a systematic risk to the global economy.
