Maybe with all these glitches, they'll need to do a "Market Correction"

This stuff makes me sick to my stomach.

So......Whats the deal now?


Does this effect me at all?

This.

We should all be GLAD nothing bad happened, instead of wishing for doom.

Because of this "fail" why is the dow up? You'd think they'd be going "whoa"...now they are saying it's 2.9 on the 10 year...and why is it not reacting to THAT?

Gotta stay updated!

BOTH!!!

Guy on CNBC just said...

The treasury yield will be going up for a couple of years. It will eventually trade between 4 and 5. But this isn't something to be worried about... it will just indicate heavy trading.

WTF?

Wall Street’s Exposure to Hacking Laid Bare
July 25, 2013

In a separate indictment unsealed in federal court in New York, one of the men, Aleksandr Kalinin of Russia, was charged with having gained access for two years to the servers of the Nasdaq stock exchange.

While Mr. Kalinin never penetrated the main servers supporting Nasdaq’s trading operations — and appears to have caused limited damage at Nasdaq — the attack raised the prospect that hackers could be getting closer to the infrastructure that supports billions of dollars of trades each hour.

“As today’s allegations make clear, cybercriminals are determined to prey not only on individual bank accounts, but on the financial system itself,” Preet Bharara, the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, said in announcing the case.

It is a pivotal moment, just a week after a report from the World Federation of Exchanges and an international group of regulators warned about the vulnerability of exchanges to cybercrime. The report said that hackers were shifting their focus away from stealing money and toward more “destabilizing aims.”

In a survey conducted for the report, 89 percent of the world’s exchanges said that hacking posed a “systemic risk” to global financial markets. “A presumption of safety (despite the reach and size of the threat) could open securities markets to a cyber ‘black swan’ event,” the report said.

Q: WTF?
A: CNBC

Rasputin was a con artist I think

world will burn "financially speaking"

I didn't hear him say that...

Been thinking about that ever since Doorbert made the OP.

Should be interesting.

The markets are a 24/7 manipulated farse to begin with so I'm not sure what all the uproar is about. The computers re-opened where they left off. Crash, Fail. //Thread

Arca issues on the ny stock exchange happened an hour before the Nasdaq.

This was a major breech

So sick of seeing these "carsh" post.....grow up morans, this is some serious shit, not a game for your amusement!

Man-made economic bullshit doom HAS NO END, only endless cycles of winners and losers.
