Stocks Closed Mixed as Greece Fears Weighed on Traders

Stocks Start the Week on a Sour Note
Today’s light volume session kicked off the week with the broader market moving to the downside. The light volume on the NASDAQ and NYSE simply indicates there was not a full scale assault on stocks by institutional investors. On the positive side of things, the...
