If some body had a stop loss at $250 and a buy at $200, they could have made a killing yesterday...

Apple was also impacted by whatever hit the market yesterday... but bounced back. I would have been upset if I had had my stop loss and buy backs cancelled... PING!

Apple Stock bungee jump thrill ride Ping!

There was no bid for a short time, so their $250 stop would have been executed at $199. The stop only gets executed at the stated value if they have bids. A lot of people got taken out by this for big losses yesterday.

I'm only a casual investor, small stuff .. but EVERY stock that I own took a dive today at around 10:30am before leveling off and closing even lower than yesterday.

Wondering if anyone else had the same thing happen today?

You were saying ...

"According to multiple sources, a trader entered a 'b' for billion instead of an 'm' for million in a trade possibly involving Procter & Gamble, a component in the Dow," CNBC reports. "(CNBC's Jim Cramer noted suspicious price movement in P&G stock on air during the height of the market selloff.)"

That's an error that is one thousand times greater than the number that it was supposed to be. I bet that made a big difference ... :-) ... and just from one little letter of the alphabet... hoo-boy!
