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.

That was insane! Now they are saying that it may have been an errant trade that triggered it.

i couldnt even get yahoo finance or bloomberg to load for an hour. etrade also didnt let me execute a trade for like 20 minutes, it was pissing me off and i lost out

i mean aapl back down to 199?!?!??! thats a no brainer.

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.

Something seems fishy...

RIG looks like a good buy tomorrow morning

I don't buy the fat finger BS. It's the HFT's...
