Having read about the demise to the Islamabad Stock market this morning I havent seen much said about it through out the day.

I take it that it must be more of a joke than serious to anyone in anyother markets---Right??

As in no big deal---no dominoes here? Hey--what do I know! Its just a stock market thats attempting to do trades by hand. I guess if they think they can accomplish trades by hand it must be small.

There I answered my own question, sorry to bother. please delete so this Casey guy can have more space.

d, you obviously missed the news that Y2K was no big deal... what's a little stock market glitch in Pakistan anyway? It certainly can't hurt us here in the US, can it???

Casey is a mentally deranged mercenary and murderer.

This is one of the few items here that might actually be important.

Does anyone have anything to say about this that isn't cutesy/clever? Thanks in advance.

The crash of Islamabad exchange seems like a rumor. It is the Karachi exchange that is the important one in Pakistan. Further, there are reports here on this site that "Karachi Stock Exchange successfully rolls over into the new millennium"

There is no mention of any problem of the Islamabad exchange. Could somebody provide a link to the source of the original report?

Anyone with money in the Islamabad exchange probably would not be literate enough to operate a computer....

Can anyone of you even name three stocks that are traded on this exchange? (without looking it up)

As I recall, the no-big-deal-Nines last September took out China's stock market for at least a few days.
