Greek stocks plunge, banks hammered, after five-week crisis shut down

“Greece’s stock market closed with heavy losses on Monday after a five-week shutdown brought on by fears that the country was about to be dumped from the euro zone.  Bank shares plummeted 30 percent before loss limits kicked in to stop investors selling any more. The main Athens stock index ended down 16.2 percent, recovering slightly after plunging nearly 23 percent at the open.  It was the worst daily performance since at least 1985 when modern records began, including a 15 percent fall when Wall Street crashed in 1987.  Furniture maker Dromeas SA gained almost 29 percent after clinching a 30 million-euro deal to supply European Commission offices.”
