B M Takes On A Whole New Meaning!

In one of the craziest 30 minutes in the history of the stock market, the Dow dropped nearly 1,000 points before the up turn. All the losses were due to a trader error.



Apparently a trader entered a "b" for billion instead of an "m" for million in a trade involving Procter & Gamble a member of the Dow.( While on air Jim Cramer noted suspicious price movement in P&G stock during the market selloff.)
Who knew the power of the B and the M on a keyboard!
Makes this blogger wonder if they have spell check!
