iOCBC & LimTan trading system is down till now!!

cant belief it ! i heard Lim & Tan brokerage the trading platform is down again this morning 27-Jan 9.15am !! haha....wat a joke... :P

 

Recently there has been a spate of incidents at banks. 

 

was there any misconduct in these incidents.


lots of damage to their clients and market in such a possible big up day but probably muted due to reduce volume at the beginning of trading day.

the big difference is short could get out cheaper and possible turn bull in that morning of uncertainty.

 

blessing in disguise? nah...more like squeezing their ballz twice! as they can sell on this morning high...then buy at low and then sell high again later of the day :P
