Greek meltdown splits investors figuring Tsipras

Athens

Bulls, whose ranks include Greylock Capital Management's Hans Humes, say investors are safe because it's only debt owed to institutions such as the European Central Bank that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras wants to renegotiate. Bears say that one false move by the 40-year-old premier risks Greece tumbling out of the euro area and defaulting.
