Swiss market plunge

[easyrider Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close easyrider]

The Swiss stock market did a nose dive on May 5th. It bounced back with the help of three minutes of halted trading. It went from about 9000 to 400 in about one minute. This is a good example of how a market can go from good to very bad. Who knows why this happened. It was said by some that it could be a test of how the market delays work.

You mean unfilled gaps?
