Ok market people...

We are having a down day. How much of this is computer generated and how much of this is because the banks are NOT open today to wire money when the markets were down a little and with no way for a wire transfer the clerks had no choice but to liquidate the positions causing a larger move than otherwise would have happened?

Suppose a few traders got "trtaded out"?

The farmer is still gitting the dirty end of the stick.

Hobby,

Big Volumes took this sucker down.  Stop Loss Orders were hit and there we went.

thanks for that point, Hobby.

banks closed...forced liquidation from the clearing houses to meet margin = adds up to me
