The computers were so dumbstruck that I made a modest gain they freaked out and crashed.

Goldman Sachs' fat-fingered automated option trades earlier probably couldnt get unwound to their satisfaction so NASDAQ needed to stop trading to untangle it.

"NASDAQ intends to re-open trading in all Tape C securities with a 15-minute quote only period. All stale quotes have been cleared from the UTP SIP at this time and halts have been disseminated with a reason code of T6. NASDAQ will first re-open trading in symbols ZVZZT and AAIT with a 15-minute quoting period beginning at 14:30, with trading beginning at approximately 14:45. All other securities will then be released at 14:55 with a 15-minute quote only period with trading resuming at approximately 15:10. NASDAQ will not be cancelling open orders on the book prior to a re-open. Customers who wish to cancel their orders may do so and any customer who wishes to not participate in the re-opening should cancel their orders prior to the resumption of trading."

maybe hes scared cause people were blaming aapl breaking 500 for this halt possibly, and to prevent a dumpathon he would tweet at this point? seems odd, but either way its going to be an interesting reopen

I just heard from Bloomberg via a Redler tweet that the exchange is now set to resume trading at 3:25. Does anyone plan to play the Icahn tweet? I'm mindful of the odds of lightning striking twice, but still tempted.

I'm mindful of the odds of lightning striking twice, but still tempted. too scary...Everybody's thinking hte same thing. If I had weekly calls expiring tomorrow I'd be getting out on any pop so fast......

It's a very neutral tweet. Nothing new.
It's like "hey guys I bought some AAPL remember?"
Apple was likely to expand the buyback prog anyway unless the stock suddenly skyrockets. Even Icahn knows a company gets better terms on its bonds at ~ $20B vs. ~ $100B. Or at least it's common sense to me.

If I had weekly calls expiring tomorrow I'd be getting out on any pop so fast...... I rushed in just for fun. Just a small purchase of shares. It took my bank 4 minutes to report the trade as executed, though it lists the execution time as 3:30. Not much of a bounce though, so I'm probably out with no gain or loss. Edit: Whoa! Not so fast. Edit 2: This is what stop limit orders are for.
