Yes. Historical event. Surprising. Shocking even. A test of the resiliency of the markets. Great uncertainty. Even the EU is at risk.

One thinks that things will carry on. Suck it up. Business as usual. But times have changed. Dunno how the system will respond to this. A long spell of diminished returns? Lower expectations? Or more of a business as usual response?

Global world. Immigration. Culture shock. Adjustments. Difficult times.

Thank you for the 'souvenir', Cobra da. It is especially cool because the flatline of the circuit breaker came at exactly 1999. Below 2000.

And a nice echo of the British move, which is in, a sense, a return to the 20th century.

[JFR]

A little pullback. Signing off. See y'all in the morning.

Oh man I hope my limits were not too high but not too low on my puts that expire tomorrow. It's probably pretty likely Scottrade's going to be screwed up / super laggy the first 15 minutes. It also did an error while I was setting some limits like an hour ago where it said online trading was disabled, then went through the next time. Kind of ominous there already.

I'm just worried we get another August 24th deal where a bunch of people, including me, couldn't login for the first 10-15 minute and it cost me a bunch because I had set my limits a little too high to sell before the mega bounce and still made profit, but not nearly as much as possible.
