Stocks drop - It's the socialism, stupid

It's the socialism, stupid - that's why stocks are dropping, for 5 days now. The world just won't stomach more socialism like they have in Greece. When will governments learn?

Stocks plummeted in a flashback to the panicked trading of 2008. Investors fled everything from stocks and risky bonds and poured money into safe assets such as U.S. Treasurys.

-Investors remained deeply worried Thursday about the unfolding drama of Europe's efforts to prop up Greece's finances. Despite boisterous street protests, Greece's parliament passed a bill with austerity measures that will give the country access to an assistance package jointly offered by the European Union and International Monetary Fund. Other EU members will take votes in their respective parliaments soon to approve spending on the package, with a first test expected in Germany on Friday.  NO- NOT ANOTHER STIMULUS THAT SIMPLY WON"T WORK!

"A lot of traders are getting carried out of there seats. There are lots of liquidations including hedge funds out of riskier assets," Michael Franzese, head of Treasury trading at Wunderlich Securities in New York. "No one was expecting this sell off in stocks and the euro and a flight to quality trade is in full effect and it not yields levels it just capital preservation."
