Traders could buy up some old fire stations and start working 24h rotations. When the siren goes off, down the pole and slap the green flashing light on top of the BMW and race to the NYSE. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I'd want them to be any more on-edge than they already are.

Another interesting message you could take away from this is the total number of financial news pageviews either decreased substantially or have moved somewhere that isn't in this list.
