I’m rushing off to do politics for the next few days, and won’t be able to pay close attention to the Second Life Stock Exchanges. However, I did get a note earlier this morning about the World Stock Exchange (WSE) in Second Life shutting down for up to 45 days for a software upgrade.

There is a bit of a discussion about it over on the Second Life Forums. It isn't very friendly, and people ask what others would think if the NASDAQ suspended trading for a month for a software upgrade.

I have not been able to get in touch with members of the Second Life Exchange Commission (SLEC), however, they issued a recommendation a while ago, which caused great turmoil, when they suggested investors withdraw from WSE. I expect IntLibber to be writing a memo any moment saying, “I told you so.”
