A human trading error at a major firm was the root cause of Thursday's
sudden, 9 percent selloff in U.S. stocks, sources told CNBC.
Multiple sources said a trader entered the letter "b"-as in "billion"-when
he or she meant to type "m," for "million," shortly before 2:47 p.m. New
York time.
U.S. stocks plunged suddenly, briefly by more than 9 percent, before pulling
back to a near 3 percent drop, as investor worries mounted that Greece's
debt problems could spread.
Sources also told CNBC that the firm in question is Citigroup.
Citigroup (NYSE: c) said it has no evidence of a bad trade but it is
investigating the situation.
The New York Stock Exchange reported there were no computer glitches in its
systems Thursday.
Separately, Nasdaq said it was working with other major markets to review
the market activity that occurred between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. | q********g

It is hard for me to believe it is merely a trader's mistake.
BTW...they also controlled it well so that the limited-down day (10%) won't trigger....
