good data was available from QCharts too honey.
i didn't mean to say data was not available during those 5 minutes.
in fact quotes and charts flowed perfectly well, like a charm.
i just meant that trading immediately after the announcement was not the smartest thing to do, considering the wild insane chaotic volatility and likely poor executions during those few minutes.
a smart trader would have shorted a few minutes BEFORE the announcement.
i remember you had an aol email address once i chequed your s.i. profile.
do you still use aol?

yeah, the dumb ones.
that was chaos, not volatility.
