All trading on the New York Stock Exchange is halted Wednesday for unknown internal technical reasons – heaping yet another worry onto investors already rattled by global economic concerns.

Normally if there's a significant loss of time they will extend the trading day to compensate

Not much. Volume has not been affected much by this. Most trading is done during the opening and closing auctions on most exchanges.

Even with the close, the volume traded is still above the weekly average.

I completely misread your post. My bad.

What interested me was a tweet from @YourAnonNews predating the glitch by 12-13 hours, which seemed to be in the know.
How easy is it to fiddle the datetime stamp on a tweet?
