Last Thursday, when silver crashed 2 dollars in one day--what exactly happened? I understand that at one point COMEX suspended silver trading for awhile--was that because the price drop was too large that it automatically triggered a suspension?

Silver being so small and volatile, I'm wondering if in regards to futures if the price drops might not nuke your stops--you buy silver at 14 with a stop at 13.20, but then panic elephant stampede selling sets in and the price goes from 13.60 to 13.05 without anyone bothering to stop and snap up your stop.
