A handy little way to cool things down huh.

The stock markets have discovered a new way of reducing volatility. It's called the 'turn it off method' and the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana and ASX have all trialed it in the last two weeks. Italy was first, with a 'technical glitch'. Fears over Italy's exposure to Libya caused the stock exchange to remain closed for a day after it had fallen 3.6% the day before. Then the LSE experienced a 'technical glitch' shortly after UK GDP was revised downwards. As your editor is writing this, the ASX has ceased trading. Why? A 'technical glitch'.
