You should be aware that folks around here herald your word as THE final say,.. So, merely presenting the current facts, as to the 'newsfeeds' 'current facts',. Yep Simon,. unbeknownst, you became the very dear Squealer from Orwells tale,..

But surely such a mistake should reflect in the volume traded for the day. I don't see huge volume discrepencies ??????

Been following a few blogs. Traders mention that they didn't have access to their accounts at times. Wonder if this didn't create a huge gap in trades allowing for such a huge fast move on the indices??

Its a dupe,.. frekking american dreamers,.. sure guy,. some obese trader mutton head, first day on the job hit the wrong key 40% into a slide,.. lol,. ya ya,.. whaatever,..

if the trade error rumour is true then the vast majority of that would've been P&G? assuming all of the 16bbbillion were sold. time to zzz.

I love the modern world. We just had a computerized `87 crash and rally in 15 minutes.

The Algo's are now drinking beers at virtual bars and trading HFT war stories..
