Three Minute Silence

On Wednesday 5 January 2005 at 12:00 noon GMT, the London Stock Exchange will join the rest of the United Kingdom in observing three minutes silence, as a mark of respect for the victims of the Asian tsunami disaster.

The market will remain open during this period and automatic execution will continue. However, we invite member firms to join us in observing the silence and not trading during this period.

absolutely no offence intended. but chucking money and hope some sticks where its needed is far better than any mark of respect.thank God we are still a compassionate nation ready to help othetrs in need.
