Dow Snapshot
"World stock markets tumbled on Tuesday as investors worried that the recently announced bailout package for Greece wouldn't be enough to stop a debt crisis from spreading to other nations. Stocks in North America, South America, Asia and Europe were all down as investors fled to safer assets such as gold, treasurys and the U.S. dollar. "There's a realization in the market that even if we get this bailout for Greece, there are still more issues that we have to address, like whether we're going to have to bail out countries like Spain and Portugal next," said Ralph Aldis, a portfolio manager at U.S. Global Investors."
