National Bank of Greece (NYSE: NBG) is somehow managing to avoid what the headline news would dictate right now. The NBG stock (an ADR) has been under fire from the markets for longer than most care to remember. It is the sole Greek bank with a New York equity listing on a primary stock exchange. Shares are up 3.5% in the MOnday pre-market session with shares up around $2.63 after a $2.54 close on Friday and against a 52-week range of $1.64 to $11.85. The move is on the heels of news that Greece has not reached a debt agreement yet and the risk is that a deal is not going to be reached. It would put Greece in “default” most likely if no deal is reached.
