Naw, government wanted an excuse to have more control over the
markets. So it invents scare market dive due to the market being too
automated/efficient and grabs (sooner or later) more power to make the
numbers look how they want them to look. There was no proven
computer glitch or human glitch magnified by computers AFAIK. Just a
lot of speculation mixed with calls (surprise, surprise) for more
"regulation". <br>
