The Soviet Union first acknowledged the situation at Chernobyl tersely. On April 30, Izvestia reported in a four-sentence release, “An accident has occurred at the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station. Measures are being taken. Aid is being given to the victims. A government commission has been established.”[1] At this point, a full two days after the tragedy began and after dozens of firefighters and operators had already been exposed to lethal doses of radiation, the Soviet press endeavored to project calm and order. While Pripyat prepared to evacuate, Izvestia reported only the most rudimentary information. From an everyday Soviet citizen’s perspective, without further information, this event at Chernobyl must have seemed like a routine issue, not the worst nuclear meltdown to date.
Edward Morbius Dude. Sometimes shit just happens. NASDAQ posted a batch of test data after hours. They say it was correctly flagged as test data in their API; numerous third parties apparently didn't see it as test data and it ended up getting published.

Safe to assume that finance.google.com had a nervous breakdown?

Many of those stocks will be lower anyway come Wednesday as a result of this. Spooked investors are even more irrational than normal.
ReplyDeleteUm. Any possibility this was hostile?
ReplyDeleteEdward Morbius None at all. That link I posted is NASDAQ's official statement.
ReplyDeleteJim Douglas Well, that's what's being said.

As an (unrelated, but typical) example of damage and message control.
There are others.
I'm not going to dismiss the possibility.

ReplyDeleteJim Douglas I understand that.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying that under present circumstances, I am not willing to fully close the books on this yet.
Cheers, mate.

Doesn't make any sense that apple is still so over inflated in value.
ReplyDeleteStock prices are based on future earnings expectations, which may be irrational.
