I hear that an errant trade in the bellwether stock, Procter & Gamble started it all, with P&G down over 22 points at one time, in the cascading effect.

The effect of Program trading and High Frequency trading, is disaster for the individual trader, and should not be allowed. The little guy often gets wiped out and the Big Boys make a quick bundle.

A mistake occurred yes, perhaps... but if this can happen so quickly, what good is the SEC, or OSC? or any supposed regulation?

Of course, worries over the European sovereign debt crisis contributes, and hasn't gone away, so markets may still decline further here.

C'mon NOT...blast away with some great news!
