CNBC is behind by 5 or 6 minutes from real time sticker. Big delay.

Has to be a short-term bounce coming, there's no catalyst for that steep of a down turn that quickly. Or something is about to happen?

ETA: Didn't get the post up in time.

Something weird is going on. The DOW was reported to be at 9,990 then literally 1 second later was at 10,333. Computers broke and someone just got rich.

It went from down 400 to like down a 1000 in a couple minutes. Its now back to 450. Anyone ever seen this? Crazy times!!

This program trading shite has to be restricted, this shite is unmanageable and destroys faith in the system.

Marketwatch is blaming it on "technical levels being breached." Kind of funny IMO.

Yes, and if you are trying to buy or sell you will likely be eating a shite sandwich.

P & G dropped $17/share within a minute, then recovered within 3 or 4 minutes. Something broke down. That alone was = more than 120 points on the Dow Jones.

It's not funny at all if people were making trades or had stop losses on positions, this shite is ridiculous. I am not doing anything, but it is manipulative as hell.
Posted on 5/6/10 at 2:08 pm to tirebiter
clearly some people just abused other invesetors, but you can't really get rid of stop losses.

what happened to the automatic shut-off switch?
