The pool was, however, filled with hungry alligators. The CEO told his executives “I think an employee should be measured by courage. Today I am what I am because of my courage and this is what has made me a CEO. So this is a challenge to all of you present here: Who has the courage to dive into this pool, swim through these alligators, and make it to the other side? The one who will do it will win anything they desire – money, property, jewels, anything!”

All the employees laughed at the outrageous offer and proceeded to follow the CEO. Suddenly, they heard a loud splash. Everyone turned around and saw that the HR manager was in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodged the alligators left and right and made it to the edge of the pool. He pulled himself out just as a huge alligator was about to snap at his shoes. The flabbergasted CEO said, “You are amazing. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. You are brave and surely beyond measure and I will give you anything you want. Tell me what I can do for you. The manager panted for breath, looked up and said, “Can you tell me who pushed me in the pool?”

(A)Indeed, there are growing fears that Athens could still fail to make its next debt repayment.

(C)On Monday the Greek stock market finally re-opened, after being closed since the end of June.
(D)However, in the end it proved to be a disaster.
(E)At one point it was down by around 25%.
(F)The market promptly plunged – with shares in the big four banks falling so much that trading in them was stopped.
 Answer:
On Monday the Greek stockmarket finally re-opened, after being closed since the end of June.
This should have been a moment of celebration, and a sign that Greece was now open again for business (though some capital controls remain). However, in the end it proved to be a disaster.
The market promptly plunged – with shares in the big four banks falling so much that trading in them was stopped. At one point it was down by around 25%.
Meanwhile, the fine print of the deal between Greece and its creditors is still being agreed. Indeed, there are growing fears that Athens could still fail to make its next debt repayment.
So I’d guess that buying Greek shares would be the last thing on your minds. However, the best time to buy is when everyone is running away – so bear with me why I explain why Greece looks like a good investment.
