To show you rule.

Just how profound an effect this school shooting has had -- our country look no further on the money rollers in this country look no further than Wall Street.

Traders on Friday more riveted by images out of Connecticut popping up on.

TV screens on the trading floor than -- and -- -- flashing on nearby computer screens on that same floor.

Trading was very light and in the supposedly callous capitalist bastion.

Hearts were very -- -- and for brief moment today.

Now -- we're actually silence.

Moment of silence that speaks volumes when no one is speaking at all.

When -- just want to.

And thinking.

Money powerless to bring back when he little lives money useless to help make so many devastated parents hole.

Where they know prices but now and then they surprise us.

And appreciate.
