The Market On Monday

  Good morning. It is 65 degrees and raining here in the Upper Hudson Valley. Looks like long periods of rain are in store through the week. It is cooler and the humidity is down. I hope you had a good weekend. My weekend was very busy highlighted by a nice trip to a conservancy for a walk through the fields and woods, dinner with some beloved people, and a good attempt and beginning at painting the exterior of the house. I figure if I can regularly do 50 to 100 square feet of the house eventually I will get it done. That way it's only a few hours a day. This house needs a lot of scraping and priming.

  At 9:00 a.m. ET futures are significantly lower and the price of oil per barrel is down, just above $59. The market is poised to open lower.

  One word - Greece.

The negative tone can be attributed directly to Greece, after the latest round of talks between the small nation and its creditors collapsed on Sunday.
