Summary

*The EU/Greek meeting was originally scheduled for 1pm EST... I'm not sure if that is has been delayed some hours for various reasons.
--

The Greek situation remains increasingly tedious, even if the can is successfully kicked into July... would it still not be a sell the news event?

Even the cheerleaders on clown finance TV have noted that if the Greek can is kicked again, the next issue will be that the Fed will be more free to raise rates.. and that will be a negative for the broader market.

notable weakness: Alcoa (AA), -1.4% in the $11.70s.

strength: FIT, +20.1% in the $39s.... the hysteria heightens.
