    New York Stock Exchange Suspends Trading




    The New York Stock Exchange unexpectedly shut down trading in all of its listed stocks late Wednesday morning.

    The exchange did not immediately give an explanation for what caused the shutdown. In an alert on its website, it wrote: “Additional information will follow as soon as possible.”

    The New York Stock Exchange, which is now owned by Intercontinental Exchange, has had, like other stock exchanges, technical difficulties in the past, but the scale of the problem on Wednesday has little precedent.

    Nearly 45 minutes after the shutdown, there was still little clarity on what was causing the problem. Stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange continued trading on other exchanges, such as Nasdaq.



    They're calling it a "technical issue," which sounds suspiciously like "hack" to me.

      According to CNN, there are also technical glitches happening at United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal. Which might be coincidental. Or not.
      Enjoy.

          Was just talking to my father about this on the phone. I would think that if someone wanted to "hack attack" the US, then they would attack the ATC system, rather than just United.

          Then again, if United was the "soft spot...."

              Not sure if it has anything to do with anything, but Comcast has been haywire for me for the last 90 minutes or so.

                  Nah, Comcast just sucks.

Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

                      No argument there.

                          Trading has resumed. They're attributing it to a glitch, just as United has (they said a router went south, causing the grounding of flights).

                          So, take it for whatever you'd (pl.) like: either it's a big coincidence, or one can strap on the tinfoil and say that something much more sinister has happened.

                              A router went south, eh? That's what happened to the NYSE, too, from what I'm hearing in tech circles.

                              A CISCO enterprise router, to be exact.

                              Maybe the weak link here isn't the stock market or one airline, but their choice of vendor.
