All Trading Halted On NYSE, White House Monitoring Outage, Software "Glitch" Blamed
*NYSE SUSPENDS TRADING IN ALL SECURITIES
(1 of 3) The issue we are experiencing is an internal technical issue and is not the result of a cyber breach.
— NYSE (@NYSE) July 8, 2015
* * *
The New York Times, citing floor trades, said new software to blame...
The market outage has stretched to two hours. Official say a cyber-attack is not to blame.
"Trader on the floor of the exchange in lower Manhattan, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that after the suspension began, traders were told that the problem was related to updated software that was rolled out before markets opened on Wednesday.
According to the trader, the exchange said that the new software caused problems soon after trading began on Wednesday and the exchange decided to shut down trading all together to fix the problem."

As Art Cashin noted - "it's been a bumpy day... with technical issues even before the open"
It started badly...
As this chart shows, the NYSE started out low at 9:30. At 10:45 things went down hill: pic.twitter.com/qLnk1TduDJ

And CNBC was stunned...
Rather hilariously, CNBC just could not comprehend this "broken market"... which happens multiple times a week...
- *NASDAQ HAS DECLARED SELF-HELP AGAINST THE NYSE AMEX
- *NASDAQ HAS DECLARED SELF-HELP AGAINST THE NYSE
- *NYSE EXPERIENCING `TECHNICAL ISSUE': SPOKESWOMAN
- *NYSE: ALL OPEN ORDERS WILL BE CANCELLED
And asked "what should the retail trader at home do?"
NYSE suspends all trading. .... And no one noticed

Prophetically, we wrote about precisely this one year ago when we documented the hilarious case of "social-network" stock CYNK. This is what we said then:
For all the drama and comedy surrounding the epic idiocy in which a bunch of "investors" took the price of non-existent company CYNK from essentially zero to a market cap of over $5 billion in under a week, most people missed the key message here: the stock is a harbinger of what is happening to the entire market. Because while those defending what is clear irrational exuberance, scratch that, irrational idiocy are quick to point out that CYNK's epic surge took place on less than 0.1% of its outstanding shares, these are the same people to say precisely the opposite about the S&P 500. "Ignore the collapsing volumes sending the stock market to all time high - it's perfectly normal" is an often repeated refrain by the permabullish crowd. Just not when it involves case studies in market insanity like CYNK apparently.
Perhaps ironically, it was the concurrent most recent crisis in Europe, that involving Portugal's cryptic Espirito Santo group, whose top-most HoldCo is largely shrouded in secrecy yet which somehow is not a deterrent to the sellside community to issue one after another "all is clear; don't pull your deposits please" note, that confirmed not only that nobody has any idea what the real situation of European banks is, but how the entire capital market has now become nothing more than one glorified CYNK penny-stock turning into a mid-cap.
Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid explains: "Whatever one feels about financials and the wider financial system, credit markets did arguably get a small glimpse of what things will be like when this cycle does actually end as the structurally impaired liquidity that exists in credit caused a small amount of panic yesterday morning before markets recovered in the European afternoon session. Liquidity is really poor in credit these days which doesn't matter when markets are in buy only mode as they have been for many quarters now, but it does matter on the days when you get a negative story."
In other words, just like the CEO of CYNK who promptly "made" a few billion in paper profits, it feels great to "make" money on virtually no volume. The problem arises when one tries to cash out of paper and into all too real profits.
* * *
And this happened...
* * *
The White House and the U.S. Treasury Department are monitoring the "ongoing issue" at the New York Stock Exchange and President Barack Obama has been briefed on the matter, a White House official said on Wednesday.
The NYSE Group, which includes the New York Stock Exchange, has suspended trading in all securities because of technical difficulties.
* * *
Which ironic because CNBC is discussing whether this is "a success or failure" and states that "if retail investors want low cost liquid trading then they have to learn to live with this."

PULL IT!
FBI has reported they found an intact Mohammed Atta passport near a NYSE phone closet!
Seems like China is talking a page out of the George Bush playbook.
BUSH; Well, I have obviously made a decision to make sure the economy doesn’t collapse. I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system. I think when people review what’s taken place in the last six months, uh, and put it all in one, in one, (sigh), you know, in one package, they’re realize how significantly we have moved.
Just think if everything would have had a natural outcome how different things would be today. Only way out is debt jubilee, followed by new $$. Pain is inevitable, might as well get it over sooner rather than latter.
China syndrome, their melted core popped out in NYC!
Drachmas for everyone!
Enter my cue to redouble efforts at silver and lead accumulation. This is not going to end well. The Fed is completely out of options to fend off another 2008-like crash. China is kaput. The Eurozone is even worse. We're all on our own now, and it ain't looking very good.
-Argenta
Can't they just pay people to borrow money?
You have no fucking clue as to how much longer this charade can last. Everything Green by the weekend. Take that to the bank doomspewer.
China getting those trillions back ?
The fed. minutes are probably going to be hawkish and they don't want to spook the markets into a full on "limit down" vaporlock.
* Too bad I'm not on the "early release" list.
I told you 3 days ago the USD could be worth nothing in 3 days.
Edit: Oh wait sorry, cash is king. Until it ain't.
The US/EU powers have been sabotaging the Chinese stock market and now China is throwing this back in their face
TURN THE MACHINES BACK ON!!!
Doh!
Mortimer, Jim Cramer is not well.
Fuck him!
I turned on CNBC for the first time in about a year. They're running around like chicken little, hahahahaha!!
Guess I'll head and stock up on beans, rice and tuna in a pouch right afetr I get some cash from the ATM.
We are, always, 7 meals from anarchy folks!
Don't forget the geiger for the tuna. The Japs have miniaturised these to wristwatch size now
"what should the retail trader at home do?"
Bankers hours. Take the losses as proscribed. Don't lose yourself.
Gens Y and WTF may soon consider themselves experienced.
Kick yourself in the ass for not cashing out a month ago. Repeatedly.
Approximately 10 days ago there was a news report that major trunk lines for the internet were cut, about 5-10 times in different places over a period of days. All lines in underground tunnels that were not monitored for security in any way. Sacramento area.
One has to wonder if there is any connection, when the NYSE and WSJ both go down at the same time.
Dusting off the tin foil hat.
According to MSNBC this outage is NOT Obama's fault. Obama is BIG on cyber security! Not his fault. Not his fault. Blame congress! Repeat, not Obama's fault. Thank's for watching MSNBC.
I can tell by Cramer's voice he can barely contain himself. He is shorted up the ass
He can join Beck. His voice is gone? All musical tramps use a spray steroid to help vocal cords. Beck is done.
Let no crisis go to waste.
Just waiting for CNBS to come out and blame it all on ZH, followed by a call from FTC for tighter controls on independent financial blogs.
Shhhh, don't look at debt and liabilities GAAP guidelines. Coming to in a form of branching out to level derivatives exposure. We must adhere to the European Union vision and help re-establish a foiled society when poverty prevails.
Negro in Chief, Barak Hussein Obama.

"Obama's gonna pay my mortgage". That woman is a visionary.
"Three Cheers for the Red, White and Black."
China government bans large China investors from selling CHINA stocks, so when the leveraged investors get their margin calls they will be forced to sell the US stocks they hold. Should be verwee interesting.
It isn't how much money you have .....
It's how do you have your money!
Chinese hackers hit ZH (for using the work "crash") and the NYSE at the same time. They obviously have appropriate priorities. :-)
BBbb.bb...but Maria - or some other bimbo - said that now was a "good time to buy shtocks"
WTF????
In the market.
For y'all that are, you were warned.
Automatic Level 3 circuit breaker implemented? 20% down threshold crossed so everything stopped for the day.
So that's what the mushroom cloud symbol means.
Laughter!
Just guessing because nobody has mentioned Rule 80B, yet it looks like it.
"If the market declined by 20%, triggering a Level 3 circuit-breaker, at any time, trading would be halted for the remainder of the day."
https://www.nyse.com/markets/nyse/market-model
Good ole rule 80B.
Buy bitcoin! No wait, wait, wait,... can't log in.
Sure looks like a cyber attack from China...could they be trying to distract the world from their own market collapse ?

http://www.showrealhist.com/recDJIAtoRD.html
Its funny how CNBC is saying that the NYSE is only 20% of the trades so not to panic...but yet they have their show from the floor on the NYSE....why not move to where the trades are getting done....if they are not playing baseball at Kominsky Park anymore..why announce the game from there?????
"Live from Brussels. It's CNBC!"
Cue fake laugh track.
China is going to kick Goldman and JP out of their country.
...and Vlad is kicking Soros' phony NGOs out of the Federation!
IT's a hack job...
Putin invaded Europe and Australia.
The president has been briefed, we protected some folks.
Joe 6: "SELL! SELL!"
Fin. Advisor: "Who to?"
Its New York City...it was a RAT that ate thru a cable....
Didn’t Trump tell us illegals are stealing the copper?
..more like a "doy-dee" rat ;)
The 'technical issue' is everyone wants to sell overpriced stock.
NYSE Officers: "Shit, everyone is heading for the exits!! Declare a Tech Issue and alert the PPT!! Call the Fed!!
Obama said he’s training ISIL.
Obama just made a SHOCKING admission!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bcGz1a76Clk
I'm surprised they let that slip through. Maybe it was intentional.
seling bad - holding position good you have been warned
HACKED! The price of HFT and reckless automation for an edge has comed to roost.
The force is strong in this one.
Someone may have flown a drone into the microwave relay tower at the NYSE.
Not for nuthin, but I will love to hear the real reason behind this 'glitch'. More than 17 years ago I had a (very) minor hand in the infrastructure that went into Merrill Lynchs retail trading systems, but I knew the guys who designed the system architecture.
Every connectiom, system, server or asset that touched that data stream was redundant, load balanced, and distributed, and monitored to within an inch of its life. Even the network connections came in from redunandant NAPs. THey had their own off grid power distribution systems in case they lost all power to the block (they were within spitting distance to the MAE EAST NAP). Tough to imagine a single 'glitch' taking down the NYSE. If thats what ML was putting into their stupid trading sytem in 1998, I can only imagine the redundancies built into the NYSE.
Building a systems infrastructure like that is great but if your clients can't reach you it's still useless. Analogy- You can build a ship thats unsinkable but if you let the water out of the pond it's still useless. Its the network....
Sorta my point. MAE EAST isnt down (otherwise we wouldnt be reading this), so it has to be contained with the NYSE's own infrastructure.
Janet is gonna have to slam 4 Geritol, 3 cans of Red Bull (she can kick them when empty) and then print like hell.
Funny, when they bounced the servers at United Airlines & NYSE - "Welcome to Jade Helm 15 - Mastering the Human Domain"
Any Hat Trick/Trifecta Zero Hedgers out there? That would be someone logged on @ zerohedge.com when it crashed, who also was planning on dumping some stocks today, while he or she was waiting at an airport for their United flight that was cancelled.
Well I guess it's back to eating dog food for me!
You're lucky. I have to eat the dogs.
A lone ISIS terrorist with ties to the Tea Party, watched the movie "Wall Street" became enraged, then acted alone to take down the NYSE trading platform.
He used an AR-15 to shoot the servers at the NYSE, he was seen with a Confederate flag tattoo on his calf and wearing a Don't Tread on Me T-shirt. More news to come here on CNN
And finally my last post of maybe the whole week, I need to get to work on personal projects.

Have they tried turning it off and back on again?
Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
Are local U.S. banks still open – has anyone checked??
ATMs still working ?
Whatever goes down must come up!
Are we at war?
When aren't we at war?
Yes, but right now it's financial cyber-war. The missiles come later.
This is pretty bizarre. While all the outages were happening, I also lost Serius/XM. Did anyone else see this?
I'm a network engineer and there's too many of these things happening at the same time to ignore a more systemic problem.
I think the Sun might have had a case of acid reflux.
Spaceweather reports a quiet sun.
Oh, another thing... All the registers at Jimmy Johns went down at the same time. (just as I was about to pay dammit)
So JJ is like Jared from Subway? They'll go down on a six-incher?

How the hell am I to find the greater fool now? Oh wait, I don't own any stocks.
I love how supposedly all trading is halted, yet E-Trade is still posting price action. Wake up Neo, the Matrix has you.....
Apparently China has halted institutional selling in the U.S. as well.
Tirades are being completed on NYSE stocks on other exchanges.
Is this better or worse than having your Cessna 150 T-boned by an F16?

America in Decline? or something fishy is going on? China Stock market did not break "technologically" they had to hammer down investors one by one and practically closing it.
SNB pumped eurostoxx up.
The "technological" break is just a propaganda, probably it is psychop to see how rats react ,just because everybody deny it.
Bloomberg says they are trading without prices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So why ZH was down is anybody give me story strait, not MSM shit? Surge from where IPs, subnets, clients etc., compare to regular traffic ZH you have all metrix.
Tyler, Have you heard about load balancing, you do it everyday, you know one server in NY, SF, HK, Sydney, Londin, Frankfurt etc..
What's going on?
ZH and WSJ probably down due to temporary overload when NYSE went down.
Find a fainting couch and make up weird stories. You'll be fine.
I almost pulled my tomatos in and grabbed my go bag when I couldn't hit ZH for a few mitues. I'm on the couch now and feeling much better thanks.
KRASH ALREADY! closed due to krash is what the headline shulda said
And now, during the interval, we shall have some light machine gun fire...
This the same NYSE that, when Sandy flooded Wall Street and NJ, couldn't even find their backup site and just went dark instead? All those little H-1Bs coming home to roost, ...
Everybody back up except NYSE.
Thankfully, I only trade on the Greek exchange nowadays.
... maybe some asteroid pieces are about to hit Puerto Rico ...

TYLERS: BAN >> ADOBE FLASH. Require all adds be in GIF form...
One theory I heard is that in a search for liquidity, European and Chinese stock and bond holders have resorted to their American holdings to try and sell and get needed liquidity. Perhaps a flood of this type has swamped these markets here. Lets face it, Europe and China are in turmoil!

Under the revised rules approved by the SEC, market-wide circuit breakers will provide for cross-market trading halts during a severe market decline as measured by a single-day decrease in the S&P 500 Index. A cross-market trading halt can be triggered at three circuit breaker thresholds—7% (Level 1), 13% (Level 2), and 20% (Level 3). These triggers are set by the markets at point levels that are calculated daily based on the prior day’s closing price of the S&P 500 Index.
A market decline that triggers a Level 1 or Level 2 circuit breaker before 3:25 p.m. will halt market-wide trading for 15 minutes, while a similar market decline “at or after” 3:25 p.m. will not halt market-wide trading. A market decline that triggers a Level 3 circuit breaker, at any time during the trading day, will halt market-wide trading for the remainder of the trading day.
Here comes the afternoon melt up out of nowhere!!
Should be green by the end of the day.....the new normal!

How do you operate WITHOUT computers and connectivity?
What becomes valuable once the system shuts/slows down?
Russia. Greece. Europe. China. US.
Musical chairs and the music stopped.
New York Stock Exchange, United Airlines and the Wall Street Journal suffer huge tech crashes.
The Department of Homeland Security has also issued a statement about the shutdown, saying there is currently 'no sign of malicious activity'.
Now who in the heck woke them up?
I'll give odds that by 5pm today the story switches drastically to "massive cyber attack knocks out key financial markets in U.S., Obama consults with Pentagon on options"...
I'm afraid, hold me?
By 5pm today the story will switch to: Hillary roping off more reports.
First China, now US stockage? Sounds like a financial war in the background
This $hit's getting REAL applies to "This $hit's getting real"...it's about time
An attempted "confidence rally" just around the corner, courtesy of FOMC
I've been trading stocks since 1979. I stopped trading in 2005 and even cashed out my 401k's, paid the IRS penalty. It's absolutely insane to own ANY stocks today.
"Sell everything!"
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
Not a cyber attack as such, just an order from the Fed to shut'r down so they have time to gin up the market after China and Japan collapse.
This is an embarrasing moment for the USA....remember its all about faith....when you lose that faith..you have lost it all....but this is how it will end...things will just shut down and not work...so if your wealth is in electrons somewhere...this should be a lesson to you...
Bong hits all around. Free market, indeed.
Welcome to the FreeFALL market
Well, everybody's been talking about the next 'false flag'.
The sub-head mentions China....
Face it, your money has been in Uranus since '09.
You know, the first casualty of war IS the truth, right?
The "software glitch," also known as "how to halt trading without the panic-inducing effect of admitting to intentionally doing it."
And that, folks, is going to happen pretty soon: Murican authorities, on the order of bankster crime syndicate, will shut down all their rigged trading platforms and thus trap the herd of stupid mammals doing business there. Those mammals are going to lose everything they have invested in those paper scam "instruments." But that probably then means we are very close to some major event like lack of physical gold and silver which will render gold and silver price suppression crime done.
And that also means that crime syndicate is close to its death, as gold and silver suppression mechanism no longer working, it will blow off all those trillions in derivatives banksters' cabal have build around it to control the price. And those many trillions will be a big enough event to push the next derivatives' domino falling, which will make every crime center, or a bank, in the so-called West officially dead! Perhaps we might start celebrating soon. Anglozionist Empire is running out of the time, together with its vast number of crimes, frauds, deceits, scams, transgressions, violations and every possible sort of corruption. :)
The Fed releases its minutes @ 2pm est. Maybe they needed a confidence boost - suspend trading and wait for the fed to tell them everything is perfect! Que the song.
dup

WH blames it on the market being racist or something.
Prediction, it is/was ISIS.
Muslim employees, duh
Nope'r, not while this party is in power. Russia, or specifically Putin doing the attacks.
