This has been done before. And it did not work. In Pakistan they did not ban selling but put a floor level to each and every stock price at the end of August 2008. Of course trading came to a halt. After they removed this floor level rule the prices dropped about 50% within 2 months.
Another fantastic idea is the 4% of GDP limit on surpluses, a limit on the money flow of millions of independent people and companies. How does Teflon Tim want the IMF to monitor and enforce this limit?
The problem of the talking heads is that the audience wants reasons.

That's correct. I have a post-it on my monitor with an excerpt of the lyrics of "White Wedding" by Billy Idol:
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world

In case of Yahoo! Finance you can enable the streaming quotes on top of the table in order to have real time quotes pushed every few seconds to your screen.
Maybe they will rate BP as an aggressive buy over the weekend. Reasoning could be that now the uncertainty about a possible dividend cut off and the amount of money for the spill fund is out of the market.
I have searched for gains of +7% or more within 5 trading days in the S&P500 and compiled some charts: http://www.tradersquest.de/2011/12/03/barenmarkt-r...
Or use FWB:CSX for better readablity
FWB:876800 Frankfurt (480k shares)
XE:876800 Xetra (56k shares)
EDIT: Sorry, volume is in Euros, not shares.
You could use XE:UB0BL6 for UBS at Xetra/Germany
There are several 5+ quakes every day. See real time list at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww...

fast markets...
Nobody's buying? Cool. I remember the media frenzy back in 2004: "Only a few computers, no real assets. Short the Google IPO!" ;-)
Hilarious! Thanks for the link.

Apparently such things happen sometimes when orders
are routed to very illiquid electronic exchanges.

edit: Last year it was "buy Tuesday afternoon and sell Thursday afternoon".
Why not go directly to the CME Group? 5min, 15min, and up to weekly charts for all contracts
