Default Re: What are traders?

I have a question:

As many know the Blackberry system was down in North America overnight and into this morning.

The parent company RIM lost about 9% on the London exchange during the outage.

I see that it is gaining steeply on the NASDAQ this morning (RIMM).

It would seem to my limited mind that this would have been a perfect way to either pick up a long term position at a discount, or make a quick play on the obvious restoration in price that would presumably come quickly.

Is this something a 'trader' would jump on?

Was the hammering of the stock in London a fear-based trader-driven price drop?

Any insight traders would care to give on NIM's price moves over the past 12 hours would be appreciated, thanks.
