| NEW YORK -- Stocks fell to three-month lows Tuesday as a deal to rescue the Greek economy looks much less certain than it did a day ago. The Dow Jones industrial average closed the day down 0.5%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite shed 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively. It was the lowest close for both the Dow, down 59 points to 12,756, and Nasdaq, down 20 to 2,884, since July 25. The last time the S&P 500 closed below its Tuesday number of 1,375 -- a decline of 5 points -- was Aug. 2.

Comments: Stocks have been largely falling since election day, and they still won´t report the real reason they are falling.

"Over Greek debt" is what he says. Yeah, sure, Greek debt, that´s it. States are trying to secede over Greek debt. People are buying guns, gold and silver because of it. Massive layoffs due to Greek debt. Wow! Who knew Greek debt was so important? /s

Greek debt has nothing to do with falling stocks. Adam Shell is an embecile and should take a subject other than economics or markets.

Pull 100 random people off the street and I´ll bet an ounce of gold at least 90 of them won´t be able to tell you the problems going on there with any understanding beyond "they have economic problems". No way do people correlate what´s going on in Greece to what´s going on here. No way to people understand the implication of the eurozone breakup with global economic domino effects.
Greece has nothing to do with it.
AMERICAN businesses are laying people off and curtailing growth due to Obamacare costs and rising taxes. AMERICANS are buying guns and going nuts with prepping and seeking to become self-reliant and self-sufficient as much as they can. This has nothing to do with Greece; it has everything to do with a gut feeling that things here in this country are very, very wrong.

Greek debt, a Youtube video, Obama wasn´t "told" about Patraeus and his girlfriends until the day AFTER the election.... the media will do and say anything to cover Obama´s backside. They are all obvious lies but they repeat them with a straight face. The media is evil, stupid, or naive.. maybe one, maybe all, I can´t figure it out.
There is always a pay off for human behavior. We know what the pay off is for the entitlement scum who voted for Obama in droves. Free stuff!! What is the pay off for the media? They can´t all be sleepless progressive ideologues bent on the destruction and reformation of society, can they?

Stocks hit 3 month low because American debt is so much worse than Greek debt. Have you see the charts Adam?

Anyone read his picture bio? This guy writes about stocks for a living and has never owned a stock. Oh sure, that´s not weird at all.. Nor is the fact that the market has been tanking since Obama was re-elected - *totally* a coincidence and it really is about Greek debt, apparently.. /s

A couple of other so-called financial sites keep talking about the fiscal cliff ad nauseum. It´s a factor, Greek and EU debt are also factors but the main factor is our president is committed to making the USA a Marxist state. Most of the traders are catching on. I would suggest cash or high grade bonds if you need the income. I don´t know what else to do. Barack Obama is the sworn enemy of the United States. There is almost no way left to protect ourselves.

The falling stock market has more to do with the prospect of higher taxes as well as taxes on capital gains ,dividends ,and other forms of income, which is on the horizon as a result of the election of the next President, whose policies are not favorable to these types of Capitalistic endeavors; Furthermore, certain industries, such as coal, are on a similar list, to be downsized or eliminated.

Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll sharply reject special scrutiny of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service, suspect an administration cover-up of the Benghazi incident and express substantial distrust of the federal government more generally. (Snip) Longer-term impacts of contentious current issues remain to be seen, but there´s potential for significant damage to the administration. Americans by a vast 74-20 percent see the IRS´ behavior as inappropriate, with most feeling that way strongly - and 56 percent see it as a deliberate attempt to harass conservative organizations, not a mere administrative error.

A massive tornado ripped through Moore, Okla., Monday afternoon, leveling a huge swath of a residential area in the suburb of Oklahoma City. Video footage from KFOR-TV showed houses, businesses and at least two schools completely demolished, with cars strewn about. Police and emergency crews have begun to respond, but debris has clogged roadways. There is no tally yet on injuries or deaths, but news anchors said significant casualties are expected. At least one large fire has broken out amid the rubble. The twister is already being compared to the May 3, 1999 storm that ripped through Moore

LOS ANGELES - More poor people live in the nation´s suburbs than in urban cities because of affordable housing, service-sector jobs and the increased use of housing vouchers, according to a study released Monday. The number of those in poverty living in suburbs jumped 67 percent between 2000 and 2011, a much larger increase than in cities, researchers for the Brookings Institution said. Suburbs, however, still have a smaller percentage of the poor than cities do. The report notes that poor people were pulled to the suburbs by more affordable homes and followed jobs that were often low paying.

LOS ANGELES -- flocking to Southern California beaches are used to feeding the meter or paying a parking attendant. Not so along the less developed north coast where it´s customary to ditch cars on the shoulder of Highway 1 to surf, swim or picnic. That sandy line that long defined the state´s disparate beach culture may soon fade. In search of new revenue, the state parks system is eyeing parking fees for parts of the Northern California shoreline where none existed or considering hiking rates to visit popular beaches south of Los Angeles during peak periods.

CAIRO — The pale, young Christian woman sat handcuffed in the courtroom, accused of insulting Islam while teaching history of religions to fourth-graders. A team of Islamist lawyers with long beards sang in unison, "All except the Prophet Muhammad." (Snip) Blasphemy charges were not uncommon in Egypt under the now-ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak´s regime, but there has been a surge in such cases in recent months, according to rights activists. The trend is widely seen as a reflection of the growing power and confidence of Islamists, particularly the ultraconservative Salafis. "Salafis are the engineers of these stories,"

A shooting as the Warriors game let out Thursday night left two fans dead - the driver of a Porsche was killed by bullets and the passenger was killed as he staggered out onto Interstate 880 in Oakland.

Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said Friday that the two men were leaving the arena about 10:35 p.m., when the shooting broke out. The victims identities were not released Friday, but the driver was a 30-year-old man

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
