I can list lots of incredibly important reasons why this could become a black swan event…like: Portugal would be the next country to leave (followed by Italy and Spain)...or the nightmare reality of a $350 billion Greek sovereign debt default (80% owned by other European banks), and yes, the memory of the global panic that followed Lehman's bankruptcy.
