retirement plan that works at e-trade. >>> welcome back, bob pasani down on the floor of the new york stock exchange had a statement from knight trading a short while ago and now a statement from the new york stock exchange regarding the rather strange trading activity at the open. here's the statement. the nyse and nyse mkt are currently reviewing irregular trading identified by other people and systems in 148 symbols between 9:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. eastern time today. the nyse and nyse mkt will provide updates with respect to these reviews, at this time, we believe nyse systems and circuit breakers operated normally. during this period and we're working with all market participants on the issue. now this follows the statement from knight where they specifically came out and said that there was a technology issue that occurred in the company's market-making unit related to the routing of shares at around, in approximately 150 stocks at the new york stock exchange. that's what we've got now. scott i would note that there was, by my count, seven, eight, nine stocks from the dow industrials that have

new york stock exchange said that they believe nyse systems and circuit breakers operated normally. in other words, the problem was with knight interabocting with e new york stock exchange and the s.e.c. said they're monitoring and in continuous contact with the nyse and other market participants. 30 million shares today. down 3 22%. pier 1 normally trades a million shares a day. right now, 5 million shares a day. the volume in a lot of stocks is three, four, five and sometimes ten times normal. >> and summer, volume is lighter normally. >> exactly. >> exacerbated the move. >> pier 1 from $17 to $18. that's a huge move for a small stock. this matters. one thing to point out, major indices didn't have any major problems. individual stocks were halted. i heard yelling and screaming at 9:30. people saying, what? what? what's going on? not trying to make excuses but the system seemed to avert a major dip down in the market. >> there was talk this morning new york stock exchange is starting a liquidity platform and might have been an issue with that but so far we can tell it was not that

we have traders standing by at the new york stock exchange, the cme group and of course the nymex. allen valdez is standing by at the floor of the new york stock exchange. i don't know, alan, volume, volatility, take your pick, take your pick, take your poison. >> you are right. this is not only a slow day, it is the slowest week in the year down here. but you know, this market is up 83 points on bernanke, but also on the eu. i mean we saw that the eu up that 126 today. cheryl: that's the thing we don't talk enough about europe i think. i think today is one of those days. let's go to the cme. we're going to have to wait a couple more weeks, we will hear from fed chairman bernanke, the fed themselves in two more weeks. at this point what do we trade on? what are you holding your hat on right now? >> what we're looking at is a lot of the news issues. we were trading crude oil off of isaac. everybody was waiting for this announcement from ben bernanke to see which way we're going to go. we saw a dramatic pulldown but the markets came right back up. next week we have the unemployment nu

the past regulations over the years that has encouraged speed so you know it used to be the new york stock exchange really was controlled by specialists on the floor but the f.c.c. passed a regulation is called reagan a mess which stands for reg national market system which is blue way the new york stock exchange because it allowed computer firms to bypass the floor traders because they're just too slow that was instituted in two thousand and seven so the idea that it was there someone heavily lobbying for that role you know there's been the push for years to break the monopoly that the new york stock exchange had on its own stocks. they controlled the trading of their own stock so there's a you know it was well intentioned but now i think a lot of people are waking up and thinking like you know it's just not working and there's the speed is too fast and you know i think knight capital shows is that things can just blow out of proportions and dramatically in a matter of minutes just like the flash crash and i think the you know i've talked to some regulators over the past few days and you know. wha

the financial angle of all this is lauren simonetti at the new york stock exchange. lauren? transports. good luck getting to new orleans, jeff flock, i know you are not flying because you couldn't. all flights today into the new orleans airport are cancelled. most of them for tomorrow with an exception of jetblue. let's take a look at southwest. it is down 1% right now. moving up to delta, down 4%. it's been holding the $9 level since the beginning of the year, essentially. it is not right now. it is taking a hit. and then you have united which is down 2 1/2% as well. jetblue is down nearly 3%. so you've got to watch the airlines in situations like this. they are struggling. what many of them are doing is actually raising the cancellation fees, you know, the change fees sometimes cost you as much as $50 -- so those are being waived for many travellers to help out in the situation. cheryl? cheryl: lauren, thank you very much. >>> well, it has been the busiest august on record for global corporate bond issuance. and investors seem to be piling into, get this, high yield and jun

one other thing to note is that the new york stock exchange began a new program today, the retail liquidityto draw order flow to the new york stock exchange, essentially creating a dart pool here at the new york stock exchange. it's not clear if there's any relationship between that and the fact that there was some problems at the open. or perhaps, there was some problems with other people interacting. >> we're getting emails from our producers back at hq, an nyse source has told one of our producers is that it is definiteny not a problem at their end and their rp program is functioning as intended. >> now that does not mean that there might not have been a problem with somebody accessing the rlp program. it might have been a problem on somebody else's end or perhaps orders that were intended to go to the rlp might have been misdirected somewhere by somebody else. again i'm simply pointing out that the program started today, and i'm not saying about the nyse. it may have been a problem elsewhere with somebody else. the facts indicate that there was a mistake made. this was not somebody just
