Crazy stuff, I watched on my Blackberry thinking some thing was wrong with the thing. I had limit buy orders in that I wanted to change but dropped so fast I was unable to.

The media is pushing off the drop today as an error. You are telling me that Citibank doesn't have controls in place to stop a 16 billion dollar order from being processed? Why hasn't Citibank's stock been impacted by this news? Selling that many contracts would definitely have an impact on their bottom line.
