    For buy and hold investors waiting until there is "certainty" and the market is at all time highs to pile in is a predictable route to below average performance.

    So yeah, I'll be adding some limit orders this morning.

    Most of that debt is carried by IMF not private banks.
    impact on global banking system will be minimal
    Aus market should not be significantly affected other than some short term volatility

    I think it was good play to have gotten in when it opened red

    I think the situation with China and their stock market at the moment is much more important than what happens in Greece.

    Might be understatement but market has been extremely volatile in last 7 days. Anyone wants to bet? What' s going to happen tomorrow?

    I've been dollar cost averaging in over the past week. I'm buying for the long term, so not too worried if I'm underwater in the short term and welcome the volatility so I can buy more.

    Yes. I am certain it will either go up, or go down.

    I'm surprised/annoyed that gold hasn't gone up more.

    Even if it does, the dollar will likely depreciate against usd, so your gains won't be much...unless you have a gold ETF in usd, gold miners company shares, or just a ******** of the yellow stuff.

    My fears have been allayed by the Economist

    Lost in all the drama about the stockmarket is that it still plays a surprisingly small role in China. The free-float value of Chinese markets—the amount available for trading—is just about a third of GDP, compared with more than 100% in developed economies. Less than 15% of household financial assets are invested in the stockmarket: which is why soaring shares did little to boost consumption and crashing prices will do little to hurt it. Many stocks were bought on debt, and the unwinding of these loans helps explain why the government has been unable to stop the rout. But this financing is not a systemic risk; it is just about 1.5% of total assets in the banking system.
