HS – Greece is once again a bet reserved for the bravest of investors.

New Greek leaders are negotiating with European officials to restructure their bailout package—as the European Central Bank on Wednesday reportedly provided an emergency $78 billion loan to Greek banks. There’s even the possibility of Greece leaving the European Union, a so-called Grexit that could have ripple effects across the Continent.
