>>>The circuit breakers now halt trading for a half-hour when the
Dow Jones industrial average drops by 350 points and for an
hour when the blue-chip indicator falls by 550 points to help
calm investors.<<<


In my opinion Moonray...once the trading is halted it should stay halted until the next trading day. This allows for everyone to consume whatever news there is and so on.

The first trigger just accelerates the selling because of the initial panic has set in.
