DOW plunge! Glitch? Typo?
Today was a historic day for the DOW and anyone with a stock portfolio. The 1000 point swing was initially blamed on Greece’s debt problems, and it still may to some degree. But now that the dust has settled, apparently there was a trade error via “fat fingers.”
Rumours swirled around the market that a trader had reportedly entered a “b” for billion instead of an “m” for million in a trade involving Procter and Gamble, CNBC reported, citing several sources.
Below are some articles and recaps of today’s event.

This group is called SEIU. And they have an American dream. Unfortunately, they spelled “American” wrong.
Here’s a quick post. Since when does 1-1 equal a win?
Am I that behind in sports?
Is this even a typo? What is it?
Ok this isn’t a typo or grammatical error, but it’s just too ironic not to post.
So enjoy!
(joking aside, we pray this situation gets resolved as quickly as possible)
