1. I'm foiled up. United airlines grounded due to 'glitch'. NYSE down due to 'glitch'. WSJ and

Zerohedge websites down.

I rarely believe in coincidences...

Also, would we be told right away if a major hack was taking place?

2. Beat me to it.

I wonder what other systems are getting hacked into as we post?

3. My thoughts exactly

this is either a test run for something bigger, or....

6. Every day something big is hacked, I think one day several things will go down

Whether or not they come back may be dependent on how much we have to send to the hackers.

Think of all the systems that have been hit sporadically over the past year or so. My nearby airport, my power company, bank, few retail chains, and on and. What if those are test runs for a big shutdown day?

4. Slow Down because of the free fall in China markets perhaps?

They are down - playing the risk to US markets today. I wonder if it was a purposeful "glitch". Pure speculation on my part.

5. To be clear: free fall in China = sell off
