Trading stopped in NY b/c TPTB don't want the paper markets to go down too much in one day.

This is all about controlling the outcomes and making sure the stupid, ignorant public remains ignorant of all the bullshit going with these markets.

They are building the case for more QE, because they're so smart they backed themselves into a corner where QE or HUGE markets losses are the only options.

WSJ website was down for an hour too.

But they're reporting the NYSE halt was due to internal technical issues, not a breach or cyber attack.

Hacking team got hacked or let their tools out into the wild for anyone to use.

The "they" I'm talking about are the FedRes/FedGov/Wall Street wizards who think that just because they all went to Harvard Business School means they are infallible.

QE and market controls are the hallmark of socialism/facism/communism and the "command economy".

These people need to let the free market be free and run based on value of products and services instead of picking and choosing who the winners will be.

Sorry to use the Puff Host as a source, but they were the first one to come up...

BEIJING (AP) — China announced a flurry of new moves Wednesday to halt a stock market slide. The result? Another big dive in share prices.The government told state companies and executives to buy shares, raised the amount of equities insurance companies can hold and promised more credit to finance trading.
Hundreds of companies have halted trading in their stock after emergency measures announced last weekend failed to stop a rout that has dragged down the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index by more than 30 percent since early June.

The Shanghai index lost another 5.9 percent on Wednesday despite the new measures and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index closed down 5.8 percent after diving as much as 8.5 percent earlier in the day.
