Japanese markets Halts trading!

Quote from studyandtrade:

buzzy2,

They will always find some explanation to mask the real reason! Don't listen to it! It's obvious what happened in Tokyo!

another insane poster, sky is falling blah, blah, blah. its really so boring already.
 
Halts are an ideal time to call around to locate shares with which to short. Whether it's Tokyo, JFK's assasination, or the week long hiatus after 9/11, the concept is the same.

They didn't halt to have tea.
 
Quote from def:

Untrue, as much as I hate to defend the exchange, they have a limit of 4.5 million transactions and about 8 million order changes. They announced well in advance that they would have to halt trading if they reached the transaction mark. They also gave a 10 minute warning before doing so and this was during a point when the market had already bounced off the lows. Orders were taking several minutes to complete. The exchange was overwhelmed.

Quote from JayS:

Transactions and volume are not the same thing. You could have two million 5 share transactions and one 10,000,000 share transaction..... but .....It doesn't equal the same in computing/processing capability.

Now who was getting out? The big guy or the small guy? At the start of a move it's mostly the big guy who sells, not the moms&dads. Conclusion: it's highly implausible that the small guy caused a trading halt on January, 18th 2006!

Who's to say that was the start of the move? You?

To me it looks like the end of the move (a low formed), but thats just IMHO.
