I got all my digits intact.

I guess we can rule out MoValley Johns identity as Jason Pierre-Paul.

NYSE is back on line and the problem was a change.

So you know how right before a large retailer declares bankruptcy, they have a massive sale on a holiday with inventory at below cost prices just to raise as much cash as possible?

4th of July --> Firecrackers --> China

But at $0.49/each those Cracker Barrels sure give you a lot of bang for the buck, amirite MoValley?

Probably more like AOL.

Brilliant move by Skynet. Assume the name of AOL, no one will realize it when they say "You've Got Mail" as they destroy the Earth.

United Airlines grounded due to computer issue.

NYSE suspend all trading due to computer issue.

I say it's Skynet.

Probably more like AOL.

It's ok, I'm sure they have insurance.

Well, if they are being hit with a DOS attack, it's certainly not necessary for them to disclose promptly, as anyone attempting to execute a trade will be aware...

WSJ website crashed at almost the exact same time trading was suspended. The number of hits probably triggered it.

They say it's a "technical glitch". That could include a lot of ground, including as one wag stated, a cyber attack (remote but possible).

So what is going on with the U.S. Stock market - trading was suspended.

Warning, if you are in an office, turn your sound down. Sorry.

Looks like the Chinese stock exchange is suffering from an adjustment:

The government is intervening, but it does not appear to be working:

Over 1300 companies have had trading in their stocks suspended.

This makes Greece look like small potatoes.
