Condor. Geez! You are an optimist! No. I am talking of a real incident. An redemption of funds, then funds of funds, then hedged funds of funds,...with no one left to bid up the market for shares. When J6P would take his cards back from below the house of cards. When Dollar trading volumes gets to average again. (see Alan Newman of cross-currents cross-currents.net - not updating today, so take the archive cross-currents.net ) IMHO, if the confidence in the markets would start to be lost this would be immediate (too many black boxes running risk management, would all exit at the same time). Why do the exchanges have provisions (circuit-breakers) for up to 30% below previous day? For the fun of it? cboe.com That is also why, among other rules, I stopped trading more than 20% of my capital on any one exchange. At least I try, still have to cut some positions. <g>
