http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/051209/japan_botched_trade.html?.v=7This is kinda business stuff, but considering the material, and the fact that most of you visit here or H&S, I thought it appropriate.
The trouble began Thursday morning, when Mizuho Securities tried to sell 610,000 shares at 1 yen -- less than a penny -- apiece in a job recruiting firm called J-Com Co., which was having its public debut on the exchange.
It had actually intended to sell 1 share at 610,000 yen, or $5,041.
a penny vs over 5k real worth!
Hades, if I could only get so lucky to find something like that on our markets.
