Jeremiah Cornelius's Journal: Russian Stock Market Halted "Indefinitely"

It's not the setup for a joke: "In soviet Russia, stock market halts you."Rather more seriously, all trading appears to have been suspended, and after the third delayed time for re-opening, the closure has been announced ominously: "The technical suspension of trading to be extended. The situation has been recognized as an emergency. Further actions will be announced shortly." There is very little news available about this, and it is unknown if these are technology problems or manged by the Russian state - but Zero Hedge has been tracking the issue.

THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC. STAY IN YOUR HOMES.

It's all fun and games. . .

No, dallying in the Middle East can't have anything to do with this.
Not at all.
