Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1. Greek drama:

European markets are pushing higher in early trading, despite the fact that Greece and its creditors were unable to reach a deal on the country's debt crisis Thursday. Traders appear to be taking the news in their stride as they hope for a last-minute deal at a meeting of top EU leaders Monday.

Without an agreement very soon, Greece could miss a payment to the International Monetary Fund due at the end of the month, making it the first developed country to ever default on IMF debt.

2. Chinese correction:

The main Chinese stock markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen have officially entered correction territory, with each of the key indexes down by about 13% over the last few days.

Investors have grown increasingly wary of what many analysts describe as a bubble.

U.S. stock futures are looking remarkably placid despite the turmoil overseas.

The Nasdaq closed at an all-time high -- 5,132.95 points -- Thursday after surging 1.3%. It also set an intraday record of 5,143.32, topping the previous all-time high of 5,132.52 from more than 15 years ago.

The Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 also jumped by 1% on Thursday.

4. Market movers:

ConAgra, Macerich: ConAgra Foods (CAG), a Nevada-based food company, saw a 7% jolt in its stock in extended trading after hedge fund JANA Partners announced it bought 7.2% of the company's shares.

In a disclosure filed with the SEC, JANA Partners said ConAgra's share are "undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity."

Here are 4 tips for today's trading. This will help you decide where you should invest and what to look for:

1. Fitbit steps into the market:

Fitbit, the firm that fashions techy fitness trackers, is making its stock market debut Thursday. The initial public offering was priced at $20 per share, setting the value of the firm around $4 billion. Shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FIT".

2. Stock market overview:

Market sentiment is getting dragged down by worries that Greece and its creditors will not be able to reach a deal. Greece could be just weeks away from defaulting on its debts, and Thursday is seen as a critical day for political leaders to finalize an agreement. If they can't get a deal, many are predicting doomsday scenarios for the indebted nation. The risks surrounding Greece have pulled down European markets, which are all in the red in early trading.

3. Stock market mover

Oracle: Shares in software company Oracle (ORCL, Tech30) are off by about 7.5% premarket following worse-than-expected earnings. The company reported its revenues were down 5% in the latest quarter as it was hit hard by the strengthening U.S. dollar.

4. Earnings and economics:

Rite Aid (RAD) and Kroger (KR) are reporting their latest earnings before the market open. Kroger is one of the largest supermaket chains in the world, and its stock is up 55% over the past 12 months -- though food cost inflation and lower revenues from fuel sales may hurt the company's revenue.
