Ohhh geeee.....
Did this guy actually start a forum asking a question about why there is no market data from December 5th???
Yes, he did. Maybe he is from a country that does not realize that the US sometimes does this? Or maybe he is from the US and does not realize that his own country sometimes does this?
Political move to stop the hemorrhaging of the market
I panicked as well not knowing what the hell was going on 
...I watch hardly any TV, and don't follow the news at all. Don't need garbage in my head.
The only stories I need, are the stories I make up in my head.
Current Story:
Big traders/institutions were looking forward to their 7% Santa Rally, in which they can leverage up for easy money. Many are positioned for this "Run" that typically happens. Right now, many of them you can see the White of their eyes, which the smartest of money typically will reverse the market...this time it might be different and you might see more significant unloading during this "liquidity bubble" burst.
That's what's going on in my head, but if the market spikes up...I will be certainly buying. The spike UP needs to be fast and strong for me to consider.

Most brokers sent out notices about what's going on December 5th "before" the open or the night before on December 4th.
I recommend you start reading whatever your broker emails you. If not, review you favorite financial websites daily before the open (e.g. cnbc.com, bloomberg.com, reuters.com, marketwatch.com, cheddar.com, ibtimes.com or whatever).
Another option for those that don't watch TV, don't visit financial news websites is to call the tech department of your data vendor the next time you notice "missing data of an entire day".
Next missing day of data should be December 25th Tuesday.
