B = Billion, M = Million

In other words, it seems that someone accidentally traded 1,000 times the amount intended.

Just imagine if he typed in 'T'...

Or if he missed the first letter entirely...utter chaos ensues!!!

If you combine today's losses with the previous 2 days, it's nearly 1,000 points...

According to the headline at Drudge, some trader pushed a b when he should have pushed an m.  The trading systems are that touchy . . .  :o

I call that BS.  The trade physically took place accident or not.  The order had to be entered, confirmed and then executed in order for it to register on the boards.  No glitch.  They just dont understand how it could happen with the Messiah looking over everything.
