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.

This.

NYSE has spent billions making sure a day like this would never happen. And it's just a coincidence that happens with the Chinese market and Greece?

It's an economy of perceptions--free market died with too big to fail.

That is correct and the DOW is the leading indicator of that.

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.
