Halftime—Dennis Gartman: 'Eventually, the Euro Breaks Apart'

Faced with "almost terminal problems," Dennis Gartman on Monday said the euro could soon unravel.

"Eventually, the euro breaks apart into a northern euro and a southern euro," said Gartman, explaining that the Continent's many languages, religions and cultures are too diverse for the singular currency to work.

Gartman said he thinks Europe's debt troubles won't stop with Ireland's bailout and mounting concerns in Spain and Portugal. He thinks it's a "rolling contagion from one country to the next," which will likely claim Belgium next.

Being as he thinks Europe's problems are long-term, he would sell any rallies in the euro.

With more than 30 years of experience as a currency and commodities trader, Gartman is a "Fast Money" contributor and publisher of the widely read "The Gartman Letter."

CALL TO THE FLOOR: GSI COMMERCE

GSI Commerce , which powers Web sites for TOYS R US and Ralph Lauren, broke an order processing record on Black Friday, according to UBS.

So far, Cyber Monday is shaping up to be "very strong," said GSI Commerce founder and CEO Michael Rubin. That's a good sign, especially since Cyber Monday has historically been the company's biggest day of the year.

Rubin thinks strong sales will translate into continued growth on the top and bottom line. Analysts like this company, but investors sometimes struggle with it, being as they'd like it to make more money in the near-term. He said the company is working on making the business more profitable year-after-year, but is also concentrating on making smart investments to bolster the company's long-term success.
