MoneyWeek roundup: Get ready for a Greek exit

James McKeigue highlights the week's best pieces from the MoneyWeek team, including: why Greece could be set to leave the eurozone; hedge funds uncovered; and profit from eating well.

The big news last week was the European elections. Before the results came through, most investors had been focusing on France. The new socialist French president, Franois Hollande has hinted that he may try to renegotiate the fiscal pact his predecessor had hammered out with the rest of the eurozone.

But Hollande's election was expected. The Greek result was more of a nasty shock. With extremist parties gaining large chunks of the vote, and no guarantee that a coalition government can be created, another election may be needed. And that could lead to an even more resounding rejection of austerity by the Greeks.
