What? "New York Stock Exchange suspends trading"

[99th_Monkey]

Wondering if this "technical issue" is called "Greece"?
On Edit: CNN in their coverage went out of their way to say this NYSE issue was NOT related
to the crisis in Greece. hmm.

The New York Stock Exchange suspended trading 11:32 a.m ET Wednesday.
In a brief announcement, the exchange said it was experiencing a "technical issue."

1. This is the third such instance today

of "technical issues" causing problems:

United Airlines computer problems caused them to halt all flights

Wall Street Journal's webpage went down due to "technical issues"

And now the NYSE suspends trading due to "technical issues"

4. Who knows what's really going on.

but if their was going to be another big crash, this is about what I'd expect them
to be saying .. "no worries, just technical issues" .. crap, sure hope they're telling
the truth.

6. I only had two bars on my cell service today, due to "technical issues."`

I blame the lizard people.

2. can anyone lend insight as to how this might be related to

china's stock market meltdown?

3. That was my first thought but

it looks like the US is being cyber-attacked by someone. United Airlines had all their planes grounded for awhile this morning due to technical issues and there are other reports out there as well.

7. Tin foil hatters should note the bigger boards are still trading and down... about 1%

Why exactly would the NYSE be especially subject to a massively greater impact from qualms over Greece or China to such an extent that they would lose a full day's revenue by shutting down and pretending it was a technical glitch?

Some guy from Ockham had much to say about this kind of "possibility".
