Daily State of the Markets

Why Greece Does and Doesn't Matter

Good morning. Stocks have been down ten of the last eleven sessions. According to Bespoke, the NYSE Advance/Decline line is now at one of the most oversold levels seen since 1990. The talking heads on T.V. told us yesterday that the NASDAQ is now officially in "correction" territory. The S&P has fallen 6.6% since April 2nd. And the global equity markets have reportedly lost $3 trillion in value since the beginning of May. All thanks to Greece - a country whose GDP is barely larger than that of Houston, Texas.

Stocks are attempting to rebound a bit this morning as everybody on the planet can see that stocks are oversold and due for a bounce. However, with the resolution to the Greece situation not available for at least a month (the Greek re-do elections are set for June 17), "risk off" seems to be the watchword for the market these days.
