3:50 pm RE: NYSE 10-20-30% DROP "MARKET CURBS PLAN"-(up-date) NEWS: CNBC business channel interview with chairman NYSE: -10% - A 60 minute closing. -20% - A 2 hour closing (after 2:00pm - close duration of day) -30% - Close rest of day +10, +20, +30% - no close. simply "investors, Applaud!" (chairman's own words) additional related topics: "super dot systems" was mentioned (i'm vague on that) Ongoing Review of the 50 point change rule I believe, in it's own way, this is related to our concerns about the price of gold. Preparation for wider swings here. Dave (just kidding as i mention: The thought behind this seems related to the same "good deal" feeling you get when hearing how the Roth IRA works. But I can't help responding this way: "Somethin' for nuthin' ain't free!" -Sorry!) I can't get excited about the chairman telling us we get the chance to applaud.
