All 3 Majors Decline for the Second Day In A Row
All 3 majors dipped again today; trading on The Big Board was healthy with close to 1.7 billion shares changing hands.
Stocks in Europe and Japan experienced some sharp declines today; excessive "sell" orders @ The Tokyo Stock Exchange overloaded the exchange's computer system, which led to the exchange closing early.
Citigroup, the biggest bank in the United States, announced that the company has plans to launch its own electronic trading network which will compete with the already electronic NASDAQ® Stock Market and The New York Stock Exchange®, which will be transformed into an electronic stock market later this year. This strategic move by Citigroup may save the company money in the long term if the other major exchanges raise the cost of trading in the future.
