The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has halted trading today, leaving investors unable to buy and sell securities.
A technical issue has triggered a system-wide halt, officials said, and all open orders will be canceled.
“We’re currently experiencing a technical issue that we’re working to resolve as quickly as possible,” a spokeswoman for the NYSE said in a statement. “We will be providing further updates as soon as we can, and are doing our utmost to produce a swift resolution, communicate thoroughly and transparently, and ensure a timely and orderly market re-open.”
The NYSE is owned by Intercontinental Exchange, which owns 11 exchanges.

Game over.
yeah, I think so, Mark. That’s what it looks like.
I think the “technical issue” they’re trying to resolve involves everyone trying to dump their stocks at once, and the plunge protection team, responsible for maintaining the particular fraud we know as “the stock market” just can’t keep up with a massive sell off.
This is good, because there’s no chance of the American people getting off their asses as long as there’s food on the table, and an idiot box to stare into.
First a “technical error” grounds all of the United Airline flights around the world and now the NYSE halts trading due to a “technical issue”.
Wonder if there’s a connection. Wonder what will be next.
Hmm…
technical issue my Ass
“Everybody’s doing the Charleston”….
This is too obvious and contrived…wonder if they will blame “is” “is”……
Wall street journal’s website is down also. I think you’re right Jolly Roger because the market was going straight down right before they pulled the plug.
Interesting…
Lock & load… stay that way.
A “techincal issue”, kinda like dis:
