    Stocks started the day on the wrong foot as more worries from the eurozone surfaced. On Monday the G-20 didn't provide any additional fire power for IMF lending to increase a firewall. Most authorities just said it wasn't a need at this time. But after, Pending Home Sales rose 2% from 95.1 (revised lower) to 97.0. Stocks then rallied reversing the lower gap open.
