Trading halted on NYSE floor

Trading halted on NYSE floor

Trading in all symbols was temporarily halted on the New York Stock Exchange floor Wednesday due to an apparent technical issue.

"NYSE/NYSE MKT has temporarily suspended trading in all symbols. Additional information will follow as soon as possible," the NYSE said in a status statement on its status page Wednesday.

A technical issue caused the trading halt, Reuters reported, citing a source.

This story is developing. Please check back for further updates.

Interesting stuff. Do you think this is a "technical issue" or is the government involved?

Just turned on CNN it is a tech issue...and the stock market is working once again. That is what the reporter said a few minutes ago...now the same reporter just said she does not know if trading is still halted or not...stay tuned folks...I just wonder what will be said next.

Ok...also too besides the stock market computers being down...so are the computers of the Wall Street Journal and the computers of United Airlines. It just makes be wonder...is all this connected?

Computer programs halt trading. Because of some sudden movement of too large amounts of money from a source that could cause a panic or run that might crash the market.

Once stopped real people review what caused the halt and restart. Wonder if the people lining up at ATMs in Greece is having anything to do with it? There was an issue yesterday in China, too wasn't there?

Stock market frozen and planes grounded......only one answer

Vampires.

Oh. My. God. What have they done now? Who is getting all that money and whose retirement is stolen this time? All questions, no answers.

Art Cashin says to wait it out

As NYSE trading remains halted, Art Cashin, director of floor operations at NYSE, has some advice for retail investors.

"This will not cause a move in any particular direction, so I would kind of wait it out and see what happens. If the market were in freefall when something happened, then you might be concerned that your opportunity to do something would be denied you. But we're already down," he told CNBC.

I call BS. The stock market freeze will cause a downward trend when/if they get the NYSE back online again. He is just trying to prevent panic selling. Nothing to see here....move along.

It is hard to believe that 3 major computer glitches all hit within hours of each other had no hacking involved.
They are saying that a router is the problem with United Air, but I wonder if it was not sabotaged, along with the wall street journal, and the NYSE.

Either that or they all use the same routers and it was just bad luck, but I dunno, smells like a cyber attack of some kind to me.

Being discussed here as well.

I agree with you...I have been thinking too...the perhaps it is a cyber attack of some kind and of course the MSM...is not telling the entire story.

Department of Homeland Security says...

The Department of Homeland Security told CNN that there is "no sign of malicious activity" at the NYSE or with the earlier outage experienced by United Airlines.

Right now it looks like no hacking was involved....

LOL Been binge watching the Strain.........so i did a quick image search for vampires but the search engine wont show anything in Images.

We're all doomed.

I'm going with Cyber attack too. All these computer glitches lately. I speculate its due to the gloating over the Chinese markets.

Hmmmm...probably in no way related...but I was just posting on my FB page...perfectly fine. Went to change page and I was requested to sign in again. Odd. So I did, and now I have to download Kaspersky so they can scan for malware....so doing it as I type here....very odd.

Well, I hope they are right.

It is very odd though and I will remain suspicious until an answer is given as to what happened.

Just because it's ATS



More than likely someone developing a trading bot overwhelmed the system with trades.

Our computer system at work was out yesterday afternoon and most of the morning here.
It is back online now, but dang, weird.

Maybe there is some weird y2k type coding in some computer systems that is all failing at the same time.
