Trading Halted At Nyse

Didn't Tom Clancy write about a siac failure in one of his books?

About some plot to erase all the data for past trades and crash the markets. Good read.

Quote from FuturesTrader71:

What is SAIC? Is this a technical problem? I heared on NeedToKnowNews that they rang the bell early or something. Strange.

Any idea why this happened? Is it technical?

You know they are counting up orders right now and seeing which way they can screw the traders and set up for tomorrow's open.
