It's like the plunge protection team, wall street insider market manipulators, russian hackers, crypto bros, and lizard people all forgot to have their syndicate meeting last night and accidentally pulled the same lever at the same time.

Nothing to see here!!

All-knowing Farmer Blazin Blazin , tell us do the MSFT earnings represent a harbinger of good things to come the next couple of weeks?

Problem is no way they'd be honest about why this happened.

Could be saboteurs, could be idiocy.
The ratio of things that break due to cyberattack vs "woops we fucked up" is somewhere around 1:10000.

Fairly surprising, and also not at all surprising, that a simple single human error could have caused that NYSE chaos earlier in the week.


PS. Had a pretty crap few weeks. Covid, followed up by an E.Coli infection, then finally well enough to travel to FL to visit family. Should be back at the trade desk and posting more in a couple weeks time.
