<<Trading circuit breakers>>

It was supposed to prevent an avalanche in the stock market. It was
designed to balance the volume of buys and sells. Today event did the opposite. The circuit breaker woke everyone up and caused them to panic. Had it not been triggered I don't think the DJ would have fallen 554 points.
