U.S. stock markets were mixed Monday with investors keeping a wary eye on Europe. A Sunday election returned power in Greece to the pro-bailout New Democracy party, but the margin of victory was slim. As leaders in Greece work toward forming a coalition government, investors are still left with unanswered questions about Spain and Italy and the spreading lack of confidence in government bonds.
