The New York Stock Exchange broke at the opening bell. Numerous stocks were halted at the start of trading with no explanation outside of “technical problems.”
Here’s some tweets about the situation.

This morning, 80+ stocks mysteriously posted massive moves and were halted by the NYSE.$MCD supposedly traded down to $236.42 before rebounding to $268.32.
That’s a $55 billion swing in market cap in seconds.
A lot of people will be demanding answers for what just happened. pic.twitter.com/n42MWeKfrh

This does not give me confidence in the stability of these markets nor the systems that run these markets. It just shows you how fragile these financial systems are. Even the NYSE is not immune.
This just makes me want to buy more gold and silver coins.
