â€œNo human believed the story,â€ Rick Fier, director of equity trading at Conifer Securities LLC in New York, said in an interview. His firm oversees $8 billion in assets. â€œOnly the computers react to something that serious disseminated in such a way. I bought some stock well and did not sell into it. Humans win.â€

â€œThe whole lesson is never do stop-losses,â€ said Barry Schwartz, fund manager with Baskin Financial Services Inc. in Toronto. He helps manage about C$500 million ($487 million). â€œThatâ€™s what I took from this.â€
