by the way this is the second 7% crash in less than one week.

  >by the way this is the second 7% crash in less than one week. can you imagine how much worse that sentence would read if instead of 7% it read 15%? 20%? etc. The circuit breaker is literally writing your sentence for you. It's working right here, even where we're discussing it.

    This had a downvoter, but I'd like to point out that what I mean is that we don't know if this was a second "7% crash" - it could have been worse, we don't actually know. Because trading was halted at the 7% mark. So in this sense, we don't really know how bad the crash would have been. (Put another way, if the limit had been at 6.75%, then OP would have had to write "by the way this is the second 6.75% crash in less than one week".)
