Money managers predict the breakup of the euro-zone

Almost a half of financial asset managers now believe in the partial euro-zone's breakup, according to new survey. More than 40% consider at least one country will leave the euro-zone in the end of 2012. Moreover, 75% project further downgrade of the US debt by rating agencies. About 200 major investors with almost 600 billion US dollars under management were surveyed by Merrill Lynch/Bank of America Securities.
