Certainly both humans and computers have "glitches" from time to time.
Those computerized trading programs kick in at prices. Something had to START the downfall. Many stop loss orders kicked in and once the computers get going only a halt of trading can stop them.
It's intended to rile up anyone who supports RP. It was too boring to directly respond to, as I've heard the "rupaul" joke about a billion times before.
ONE stock being sold off by ONE trader supposedly did this...according to the news.
That shows an incredibly vulnerable system right now.
Or of course this is a lie being told to people to make them feel better.
Of course it's a lie - even if ONE trader made such an error and sold off that many stocks, what would have brought the stock market back up so quickly? (Back up to the point it was a 3:00) His stocks would have still been sold - at 2:30 he would have sold them but wouldn't they have remained sold? Why 10 minutes later did things go up?
