Of course it's not all rumour, the best story's or rumours have a modicum of truth to it, so people can point out and say 'but'.
France has a AAA rating (like us) with rating agencies scrutinizing everything and ready to drop a rating for any excuse whatsoever, or simply because they didn't like their breakfast.
France has some troubles, no one can deny that, but so does nearly every other country in the world. They have a handle on it at this stage, hence the AAA rating.
People will throw their money away today, the market will drop early then rebound when they find the sky isn't actually falling, also fiscally the world is no different today than it was yesterday and the sun will rise in the west...um...er... *sticks head out window*, east tomorrow. By then they will probably have lost a few more dollars when they go to buy back in.
Good luck to all, just think before doing a knee jerk is all I'm saying.
