doreen to you first, when did the markets suddenly absorb this news. it wasn't almost immediate, was it, and then started to fall? >> it was when there was the talk about terrorism. when everybody thought it was a random shooting by somebody that perhaps had a personal gripe against the canadian government in some way, as the talks started to morph into terrorism, the markets started to come in harder and faster. that's what people are concerned about, which goes to show you how the headlines influence how fragile and sensitive the market can be in the sense of a market moving headline. liz: can you describe what happens to your phones at a moment when the market does turn and start to panic a little bit? >> what happens is in an electronic world, people right away want to talk to people. they want an answer, they want to give a reason to buy or sell stocks. the phones light up whenever we have some sort of trauma of any kind. liz: chris robinson was it like that in the pits of the cme? where did you see the biggest reaction, we're not seeing it in gol
