I forgot to mention

the other day

February 28th 2007

all hell broke loose

on the SGX

Singapore Stock Exchange.

All time high record trading volumes

caused the electronic trading platform

to jam

and became a comedy

of errors and misquoted prices.

Wrong information

was disseminated

and SGX's website

froze,

not providing usual prices

and volumes.

SGX's official statement

the next day in the papers, said

"The high volumes caused

congestion which led

to prices updated slowly

and at different times

led to anomalies"

Yeah, right.

First World infrastructure my ass.
