There are other halts for 10 min, 15, etc. The day halt is like the 3rd or 4th step.

We stopped where we did becuase buyers came in. There was a trading halt waiting at ~1050.

prices always fall faster then they rise - it would be stupid to treat both directions the same when they are not.

LOL. market goes up: it's rigged market goes down: i told you so I love you permabears....

Because you don't understand as much as you think and obviously don't have the experience to know better. I'm not trying to be an ass, but you see things differently than the people in positions of influence becuase you don't know enough to realize your view is incomplete.

Zero hedge is only slightly more reliable than a houseplant.

Funny, I can't find anywhere other than that article any mention of fannie mae saying "they can't imagine a day when they will turn a profit". Sounds like more FUD to me...

not sure if serious

There have been too many sore losers on ET the past 24 months. Seriously people, the markets aren't any more manipulated now then they were 100 years ago. If you think differently you're a fool and I will be happy to take your liquidity.

Then why have they never done it before and does it make sense to release this news during this PR shitstorm?

These rules have been on the books longer than you have been alive. If you don't know the rules you're playing by you shouldn't be in the game.

Frankly they do enough volume that they should have clout. anyone who thinks different is a communist.(serious) There is no expectation that the little guy can do the same things the big guys do. People need to stop being so delusional.

No.

A few handles.... people are bitching an moaning about the PPT every day for the last 24 months, then when they do snap to it, no one says anything.... Seriously, good for them. I wouldn't want to step in front of that shit yesterday...

You don't trade or write systems...it's blatantly obvious.

step away from the tin-foil hat.

lol. markets in asia aren't down big. japan is only down on currency issues. HK is down %0.71 as I type this...

Don't get me wrong - there are problems with all of the eurozone. Greece is just the low-hanging fruit so-to-speak for failure.

All the bids disappeared for about 5 minutes. Could very well have been because someone put in a bad (large) order that took time to be filled. Because of the affect it was probably a futures order. Think about it: If someone buys 60 billion worth of e-mini instead of 60 million the systems...

are you fucking KIDDING ME? The greeks are pissed because their welfare state can't pay it's bills so their salaries(welfare checks) are getting slashed. Oh, and no more retire by 55 with full pensions to drink shit on a beach.
