Procter & Gamble was down 25% for a few minutes which probably triggered a ton of program trades --- they think the 25% down-move was a busted system of some sort.

Gold up $30+ for over $1200/oz

Interesting, lots of triggered programs in '87 I hear.

Circuit breakers (-600) & PPT kicked IN!

Presidents working Group just a little late on the trigger today.

No Halt in trading today UNLESS the DOW FALLS 2,150 points

this is what ron was talking about. gold going up as the market goes down. acting like a currency not a commodity.

Dang, I can't even get bloomberg right now. Their server is probably getting bombarded.

That's got to be it. Some goofy ass 100 share trade done at $40 took the market price to $40 for a very, very short time.

Yeah, I just noticed that...what the hell?

PPT steps in at 10k area.

Sounds familiar.

Don't think this is a one day event tho.

They don't have enough resolution. It was only down to that level for a few seconds.

I thought that might be the case, so I tried to expand the graph and can't get more detail, but that makes sense.

45 Minutes to go... we're @ -400

Noureil Roubini... Rise in sovereign rates, public implosion due to socializing the Private Losses.

I can't wait for Jim Rogers inputs!

Yeah... Don't you love the reasurances and stabilities of a Government Propped Up economy, eh?

I would love to hear the NSA's tapped phone conversations at the White House and FED.

Silver however didn't go up the way silver did. It's been zigzagging in the past 30 minutes, from a low of about $17.25 to a high of about $17.53. It's at about $17.38 right now.

I hope this is not the case, but I tried to get some silver into my order cart at APMEX and got error messages. It's fine now - I wonder if APMEX was flooded with new orders.
