Delayed start to ASX?

[xyzedarteerf]

no more shorts..NO,NO,NO,....whats going on!!!

ASIC bans all short-selling

 

[nioka]

Perhaps ASF should band together and try and sue ASIC or the ASX for 'lost income' and 'hardship'

Take all the gun traders here average daily earnings and say that this 1 hr lost cost $X amount equates to a total of X dollars, plus compo for hardship

Who's up for it?

Now they might say they saved you money you may have lost and charge you a fee for service. Isn't it common knowledge that there are more losers trading than there are winners. You may have to prove you are actually a gun trader and not one of the rest.

So we only get the profitable traders here to supply their statements and then sue the ass out of them

Prof, wayne, TH etc im sure there are many more (myself not included )

Seems like us morons finally rule the world.

Definition of a moron: Someone with a different opinion.

Well if you insist on lumping yourself in with the morons here is the definition from Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language:

page 1251:

mo-ron - n. 1. a person who is notably stupid or lacking in good judgement. 2. Psychol. a person of borderline intelligence in a former classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50 to 69.

From the ABC site -

Share market trading delayed
Posted 6 minutes ago

Trade has been delayed on the Australian share market this morning as more information is sought about the Federal Government's ban on short-selling.

The Australian Securities Exchange says it is waiting for further clarification from the corporate regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

A temporary ban on short-selling of listed stocks begins today.

You would have thought that the government would have sacrificed their weekend to get to a conclusion tell the ASX and let the market open. Where they out enjoying the great weather?

So it's true, morons really do rule the world then!!!

Work on the weekend ? you must be jokin' this is Australia, never do on the weekend what you can put off til Monday in work hours, at this point they will have all gone to morning tea.

I agree. And Krudd is overseas on yet another holiday...

 

[nioka]

Well if you insist on lumping yourself in with the morons :

Actually I didn't insist. Chops put me there and seeing as he has ALL the right answers I had to accept the ref's call.

 

[Prospector]

Damn NAB, it logs you out when going from one screen to the next and now I cant even get back in

 

[Green08]

I'm having trouble with the change of screens on E-Trade the volume must be massive, Not trading today just very curious to see what happens.

 

[GreatPig]

Yeah, NAB is a little slow on the odd refresh.

What I like though is the way quotes are shown as "Normal".

[njc.corp]

You have to wonder just how very worried they must be to do all this. Creating an artificial bull market should be interesting.

thank god someone understands what going on-

so by injecting money into the market means that all will be okay-

i say good for the big gains today but in your back of your mind dont tell me no-one is not thinking of how much pain is their to come?

Thanks

Nick--

 

[Uncle Festivus]

Or it's the last chance to sell?

 

[moXJO]

Or it's the last chance to sell?

yes dumped what little i had left.

I should have said their attempt at creating an artificial bullmarket.

Hate to imagine every baby boomer trying to dump their stocks.

 

[MrBurns]

ASX web site is slow, too slow, watchlists doesnt even open.

You know.......it's the year 2008 and the Australian Stock Exchange are so breathtakingly dumb that they haven't even set up their web site to perform under load when it's most important that it does work.

Release the hounds......

I can go one worse. Each year, Year 12 students can log on to get their TER score from 8am on a nominated day. Now, blind freddy would think that most kids would want to log on from 8am, plus parents etc etc - after all, it is the culmination of 12 years school! So of course, each year, the server goes down at 7.55am as people start to log on. Why? Well, SATAC (the SA site)said they were overwhelmed with numbers! WT, you didnt plan for that?

Obviously the evolution of man is lagging in some sectors of society, seriously !
