The bucks stop here: NYSE freezes trading, blames 'technical issue'

The New York Stock Exchange unexpectedly halted all trading of its listed stocks today at 0832 PDT, 1132 EDT.

OT: "TITSUP"

Can we please abandon the pretence that this an acronym, and return to the colourful analogy to fields of cows, dead cows, cows with their udders pointing skywards, teats up?
