How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

CNBC trying to explain the crash away with "fat finger error". Another reason is that automated trading has caused a "snowball" effect.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Nice charts there MF. Nice panic and recovery too, all in the space of a day. BIg bucks for the day traders with big b*lls . I bet a load of numpties sold near the bottom.
I'm pi**ed with yahoo. I monitor the markets on an end of day basis and whenever there is some good market action, yahoo(free data) fails to provide the market data around the same time. In this case yesterdays data is missing for UK marketsLast edited by SuperZ; 6 May 2010, 20:36.Comment
