dealer,

I cannot say - this is the longest I have ever seen the LSE down.

If that happens, we will let you know,

Service Announcement

Service Update 9

The purpose of this Service Announcement is to inform you that the Exchange will be re-enabling connectivity from approximately 15:15 BST.

Connectivity is being phased, and following the completion of these actions, all order book segments will remain in an auction phase. Once connectivity is re-established, it will be possible to enter or delete orders, though no electronic execution will occur at this stage.

Cheers Ruth, thanks Ian. Fancy a game of cards?

its intriguing. The Dow Daily cash is pretty much as was when the FTSE went down. Its like nothing has happened although I guess people are pulling their hair out in the city. Of all the interviews i have heard today not one person thinks this is sustainable. Expect the FTSE to be down massively tomorrow or maybe wednesday if the Asian markets stay in cloud cuckoo land.The bears are back in town grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

What's the bet it comes back at 4.29 today

Service Announcement

Service Update 11

The purpose of this Service Announcement is to inform you that the auction will uncross at 16:00 BST (subject to a 30 second random period) at which time continuous trading will resume.

From this time market maker quotes in both quote and order driven markets will be firm.

There will be no further change to the remainder of the trading day. Therefore, the Closing Auction will commence as scheduled at 16.30 and uncross at 16:35 (subject to a 30 second random period).

I bet it goes down straight away - to much volume, may as well waited till morning

Fingers at the ready !!!!!

What what?????

back to normal now!

If you went long just before the outage you'd be in trouble now thr' no fault of your own

Thanks Iam for your hard work keeping us informed

I mean thanks Ian

thats the point i have been making for 7 hours. The prices on IG were complete bollocks. The percentage gains on the FTSE were way off any other market, they were not tracking the US futures. They have made a monkey out of people and should not be allowed to do it. Financially im net neutral but I feel sorry for any one who got sucked in

Even if I wanted to trade, I can't get any sort of quote on individual stocks.

oops a daisy - wish i could of gone long on that happening !!! :-} sell lse - they'll get battered in morning !

Streaming gone again imho

All,

the latest frin the LSE:

This is to inform you that due to on-going connectivity issues to resume a fair and stable market the Closing Auction will commence from 16:21 onwards. The Closing Auction will uncross as scheduled at 16:35 onwards (subject to a 30 second random period).

Best regards,

Geoff

Cheers.

I knew I should have stayed in bed!
