Stock Exchange Shut Down

[JD8]

Actually China ORDERED brokers to buy and investors not to sell...patriotism!

ETA - NYSE has resumed trading(it was a 4 hour interruption).

Yep. Told them to buy blue chip stocks and hold. Coming from a system with known financial reporting issues.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Obama had been briefed on the glitch that took out trading on the floor of the NYSE by White House counterterrorism and homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco and chief of staff Denis McDonough.

He also said despite indications that it was not a cyber-breach, the administration was “keenly aware of the risk that exists in cyber space right now.”

That OPM administrator, who let the Chinese hack the OPM system, I bet they'll put her in charge of the effort to get to the bottom of this.

Or maybe the IRS IT administrator who was "blown away" that the incriminating tapes had been erased by his own people.

The Pres is on top of this.
