For some reason Shanghai was up over 2% earlier. I guess the Chinese initially felt optimistic, but now not so much. Shanghai is now near UNCH.

Hell, early on they were up 3-4%
...might have had something to do with China's plan over the weekend to fix stock prices. I saw the headlines but didn't read about it so I can't comment further.
If Germany is down in the 3.5% range you've got to imagine the DOW loses at least 2 percent tomorrow, right??

Yeah, I think last week the Dow dropped what, 2%?, on that last Greece news day?

Chinese investment houses pumped $19 billion into the market to halt the recent slide. Shanghai opened up about 7% before falling back.

Jim Rockford is correct. What remains to be factually seen is if there is another LTCM, backed by bankers, and eventually bailed out by bankers, with a large Greece exposure.
Most say no, but no one ever expected LTCM to almost take down the system. It would have been as bad as Lehman, but widely unknown.
For those that don't know:

Welp, the Dow hasn't cratered today. Not yet, at least.

Disappointed. I bought some VWO...probably too soon but it took a 3% hit today.

I lost 15% in one stock today. It's really fun watching money being magically created. It's really really really awful watching it evaporate, especially with the pace that it can.

Both Chinese exchanges are down 1-2% again
The Nikkei recovered nicely from Monday
Most Europe is slightly down
Expecting a "blah" day for the US markets
WTI is at $52.27

Looks like it's about to get ugly, SPY falling below the 200 MA and off the ledge.

Watch the yen/dollar. Watch the larger institutions watch this closely as well. Two larger things really would be the lack of inflow to American equities markets, but this is somewhat mitigated by lower interest rates where the flight to safety is likely going to be paper US dollars. Add a correction in the middle somewhere if the above doesn't keep the bull running.
We've been through this several times. Never quite like this, but it's always somewhat the same.
Anyway, I don't know when, so I don't worry about it. Nor do I worry when the equity portion of my portfolio tanks. Something else will go up, and I'll sell some of that, and buy something else I perceive to be undervalued.
I haven't bought buy and hold stocks for quite some time now. My new monies have been going in to investments that I perceive to be beat down. When stocks correct, I'll start buying stable dividend payers as I'll have a lot of available cash.

A lot of the lumber stocks I've been holding have not changed much.
Armstrong Worldwide is getting set to split into two companies Q1 next year. When that happens, I think their flooring company will grow a lot more as all of their flooring plants are here in the US. Their Euro ceiling plants have been draining the bottom line.
Weyerhauser is still sitting around $30 and slowly getting its dividend back up to $.60 a share. It is at $.29 right now.

Big reversal in the US markets today after Europe closed. Looks like a deal with the Greeks might have been reached. I did a little nibbling in SPX futures after the cash close.

Curious. eminis, or full contracts? I like your trade idea if it's a short term trade. Would you mind giving details about where you bought and/or sold at?
