I'm in the Sacramento, CA area. I've had one of the 'rolling black out'
shutdowns which lasted about 1 hour. That's a little long for my APC UPS. I
certainly wouldn't trade during one of these. I don't usually use stop
orders in place (short term trading) When I got 'blacked', though, I had
my broker work both a profit stop and a loss stop on the positions I held at
that time. The black out was a pain in the *** but, in my mind, nothing that
serious. Part of the price to be paid for some bad policy decisions.
