some folks wish to believe in accidental keyboard mistake; a funny read on the state of is, for the entire planet's fate may hang in the balance on how well made a keyboard is from shenzhen. hilarious.
others found the experience quite enjoyable.
market-ticker.denninger.net pity the folks who got caught by "sell at market" orders at that instant, when some market price went to zero :0)
from e-mails
player 1: i believe the air-pocket the market experienced today was a first taste of what i have previously dubbed the 'fully automated crash', only half in jest.
this is what happens when all the high frequency trading programs go 'no bid' at once.
player 2: Did somebody say they bot a lot of gold coins a few days ago? (...)
player tj: woke up from deep sleep during hk flash thunderstorm, and sense of disturbance in the force
Checked situation, and all is expected, GUDUEED (gold up, dollar up, everything else down)

player 5: already ALL non-dollar fiat currenci8es are getting taken to the cleaners, and everything is collapsing vs. gold.
i would also note, my recent call to refrain from being too bearish the t-bond was proven out today. this means trust in the very foundation of the fiat money system is NOT YET waning. but clearly, the room has begun to burn in more than one corner.
player 6: holy smokes, GLD inhales 20 tonnes today!
player 7: Gotta say, waking up for a 3am pee took on new significance when I checked the blackberry and market down 850pts.....no more watermelon at 11pm...
player 8: rickards on cnbc/gold-and an alleged major meeting on the 11th ion Zurich, etc. (inhale before watching)
