If my understanding of what you've told me is correct, it would appear that the oh-so-FAT FINGERS have gone and created......A CRISIS.
Do I read that correctly, sir?

Yep.
Remember TARP and how billions were being stolen and more if they say that hadn’t caught it. I bet Soros was there earning a lot illegal gains there too.
Wow, anyone who believes THAT was the cause of the "big Dow drop" has got to be dumber than a box of rocks.
I agree with this, but, there is another angle. Only a very few stocks were affected like this. Why not a broad market computer sellof?
Of course even a very few stocks dropping to a penny could drag the indexes down hard, yet it seemed they dropped just hard enough to avoid the circuit breakers. This means someone would have had to calculate which stocks to crash and by how much to achieve this.
There also seemed to be a rush of volume when the circruit breakers dropped off in the afternoon, from 10 to 20%. It seems like someone gaming the system and knew exactly how to play it.

The exchanges know EXACTLY where those trades came from, and that it hasn’t gotten out who did it yet should be telling you a hell of a lot.
Somebody (China) sent a very loud shot (China) across Obama’s bow (China) on Thursday.

Yeah. Well put indeed.
“I bet Soros made a few million$ on this little trip.
On a $1T drop in market cap, his gains could have been measured in billions—all of which ironically are likely to be channeled into more efforts to push a very leftist agenda by bashing business! Is this a great country, or what?

You may be right, but if so, that is a VASTLY different explanation than the one being offered at the start of this thread. In the latter case, the administration is the perpetrator, but in your scenario, it is the victim. Quite clearly, both explanations cannot be correct.
If Stroker is bugged by the word “regime”, then he has two choices.
Begin to honor our constitution and the laws of the land
or
grow a pair and accept this reality.
either way,
F*** him if he can’t take a joke.
