Let us not forget the great tragedy that has befallen this nation, ... restoring the public confidence that this marketplace will be up and functioning.

The bottom line is – despite this tragedy and the resulting economic affects – our unique mix of assets give us confidence that we can generate strong earnings growth next year and into the future.

It should strengthen investors' confidence. This is done through transparency, high quality financial reports, and a standardized economic market. This is not just for China, but also for the world market as a whole.

Our systems are all go. At 9:30 Monday morning trading will resume on both markets, and the message will be given to criminals who foisted this on America that they lost.

The globalization of the capital market is actually part of economic globalization. This will create a change in the entire world economy, not just restricted to some fields in some countries.

We will never forget the tragedy of that day, because we're Americans and we'll always have a free world.
