NP:but maybe a little BE

[kelber at mindspring.com]

This article, too, is from yesterday. If there's an innocuous explanation, why are there no follow-up explanatory statements from the NYSE? The Mother Jones article links to another titled NYSE shutdowns are common. Every shut-down they list was the result of a major celebration, political crisis or a weather event that shut the entire city down. A software update shutting down a market that's jittery from events in Greece and China ought to be worth a follow-up story or two in the Times or WSJ.

It's hard to believe that they'd introduce major new software on a Wednesday morning. But even if it's true, the media silence today is astonishing. Where are the news stories or op-ed pieces about how the shut-down affected the stock market? That silence, more than the shutdown itself, is what triggers the conspiracy-theorist in me (and I'm someone who's more than willing to believe that Oswald acted alone). My theory: no one knows what happened, or who was responsible (or maybe they do!). And the NYSE, DHL and the White House are treating it as a national security issue and exhorting the press to do the same.
