Then why didn’t the market go back to where it was before the alleged bad trade?

If they knew for certain that it was a glitch the market would have recovered quickly.

Basically, it did. We were already down 200 points before the wheels came off. Of course, with the program trading going on and the hitting of massive quantities of stops, of course the market had to take some other lumps.

This day was a yawner compared the steady sell-off we saw the day Lehman went in September 2009. That took us down 900 points.

You must have missed the down over 900 points from this afternoon.
