I'd like to hear from some stock market expert on this board to explain why there has been such an overreaction -- for months -- to what the fucking Greeks do. :|

No expert, but I'll say that the market tentacles are entangled all around the world and when you step on one in Athens, someone smarts in London or New York.

My novice guess would be that the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain) have the entire EU teetering on such a skinny branch that the complete default of one of them could have huge European impacts, which obviously would have repercussions domestically in the US as well as the rest of the world. :twocents:

Personally never played the market. Had a mutual fund in my 20's, cashed out and never went back. There are plenty of investments that are revenue generating 100% of the time. Virtually every person I know who's played the market has lost in the long run.

Ergo, fuck you, Cappie.

One of the largest importers of defense hardware in Eastern Europe over the past two decades, as well as a "middle-man" for shady arms deals/money laundering. Their connections run throughout the NATO block.

Leverage.

But it isn't just about Greece and hasn't been for quite some time. They have become the poster child for broader European debt problems. The issue is just as much about Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and to some extent France.

If you want good, almost daily commentary on Greece and European debt, I recommend that you listen to Bloomberg Radio when you can during the work week. In fact, I recommend Bloomberg Radio for great commentary on all things related to economics and the markets.
