Wall Street Shock: Stock Market crashes as Dow Jones plunges 1000 points

US regulators are still trying to work out the cause of a dramatic sell off on Wall Street on Thursday night. Traders were left stunned after a plunge of nearly 1000 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It was the biggest-ever fall in history, and it happened in just 8 minutes. RT’s Mark Gay gives his analysis of the fall.

  3. Wall Street & bank execs are cheats & thieves. They stole from us. Used our money to bailout their lazy asses. Then they played golf. With their stolen cash (ours) they gambled at the NYSE Casino & made enough ill-gotten profits to reward themselves with obscene salaries & slut bonuses. Then they went & played golf. Now the stolen cash is gone & millions of families have lost their life savings & incomes. That’s pure thievery.

  4. @rowestocktrader Bankster’s Financial terrorism. Destroy perceived adversarial currencies now before confidence in the U$D is lost, The American “fat” finger computer program trading geeks won, the cowards in the senate capitulated to the Dow-1000 point swing demonstration.
    (see; ZeroHedge article: The 1000 point, 25 min. Market Crash)

  13. There was no glitch, none of the systems failed. The press have warped this. The market fell because people and computers were selling. Has anyone heard of limit down in the futures? They never kicked in. Do circuit breakers come in on the NYSE after 14.30? No they don’t. This goes to show that measures are NOT in place at the exchanges to stop this in the future. The design of the system will lead to its collapse. Mark my words.

  14. sell*

  15. If you own stock in seafood companies…uh…yeah, now is the time to sale.

  16. The Antichrist is coming

  20. The Nanosecond Buyout was a legendary computerized exchange of stock in 2033 that propelled Damien Knight to the head of Ares Macrotechnology. In the span of 63 seconds using a set of mainframes in Stockholm, Sweden, Knight executed a series of transactions that caused the dissolution of three corporations, two multi-millionaires to lose their fortunes, three other people to become multi-millionaires, and Knight to gain the ownership of 22 percent of Ares.

  21. LOL blaming it on computer code. that’s a complete crock!

  22. This little fuck-up cost me close to 4 grand. You notice how when some crook gets caught, or when there’s a fuck-up in the market the money never comes back? Even when the bastards get fined the money goes – who the fuck knows where it goes. I guess the damn crooked SEC gets it. I never see the cunts handing money back to us. Like with Madoff, oh, well he spent it. Here’s a few penny’s to tide ya over. Now you’re headed back to work at 80.

  23. The whole thing is going to hell in a handbasket.

  24. @dkkght46
    if u write software – u know technical error is quite possible reason for such a drop.

  25. @Globox822

    What are you saying? Are you saying thousands investors should go to jail?

  26. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
