This rule change seems highly outrageous at this time. Halting an exchange for a short period of time to catch up with the influx of orders is one thing, but to stop it for a longer period of time is another. This would give the time needed to (legally/illegally) manipulate a stock through a different exchange, ie. the dark pool, for a longer period of time.
If retail had access to these other exchanges as easily as corporations do, that would present a fair playing field. But they do not.
Please feel free to contact me and educate me on any information I may have missed reading the new ruling.
