Yep, makes sense. Two ETFs I hold there are VTI and VTV - dropped to 15 cents (from $56) and 10 cents (from $50) respectively at one point.

Please all you experienced traders and investors, does Greece play such a big roll in what happened the past two weeks? Can one country managing their finances badly, "kill" the global financial system? Greece is not even the size of America or China. It is an insignificant little holiday resort on the coast. So what I am asking - is the media selling us a lot of bull?

Not in my eyes. It's not so much Greece itself, as an example of a European country with heavy debts. If EU can't keep Greece afloat, they won't be able to save Spain etc. Same types of problems, much bigger.

i find it quite amusing that @ 5:03 Morgan Stanley comes in and sells 100k contracts @ 1070. :) then it went all the way back up. wonder if they're still holding on?
