hang exec, ruined on, stock market ( 8 )

maybe combined they make a clue, like some exec who hung himself after he was ruined in the stock market?

nifty, looks like they may have used a contingency plan just in case the media release would have drawn a crowd. Only those really in the know would have got to the point of the password, weeding out those there just to see what's happening at 'abbey road'...

so what about this 'hang exec' and 'ruined on', if we know the 3rd one is 'exchange'?

edit: hmm...
hang exec = exchange
ruined on = ?
stock market ( 8 ) = exchange

yeah "hang exec" is an anagram of exchange - the ruined on refers to the anagram element... exchange it is

checking for 'ruined on' anagrams that could be useful...

diner uno
ride noun
in our end
ruin node
nude iron Laughing

red union

those are the only that really stand out

No because it is a crossword clue:-

Hang exec ruined on stock market ( 8 )

so it's the words "hang exec" ruined and somehow relating to the stock market, and having 8 letters...

EXCHANGE

hm... well maybe, it might make sense if it's read like "hang exec ruined, on stock market" but it doesn't sound like standard crossword clue grammar... *shrug*

It is standard cryptic crossword fare - punctuation etc is another part of the clue's cluey-ness... the problem is if we start looking too deep into what it could mean, then we get bogged down in all sorts of spec when "exchange" is kind of screaming out...

and then Dinah comes and we go "erm..." and she legs it.

It looks a lot like a Times crossword clue - they're usually cryptic in the main crossword. And no, it's not taken from today's puzzle. Will check yesterday's later....
