Specifics have yet to be released on the July 8 glitch, and they may help to explain why the trading floor was closed for so long before trading resumed.

"Why it took three and a half hours, I don't know," said David Lipton, a professor at Catholic University's Columbus School of Law, where he also directs the schools' Securities Regulation Program.

In an interview with InsideCounsel, Lipton speculated that for the companies that trade on the exchange one of their biggest concerns when there is such a halt in trading on the floor is the "loss of confidence in the market."

"Three hours is a long time," Lipton said.
