Anyone see the Mizuho securites 'fat finger' error trade yesterday?!?!?!?!??!
Just can't believe it really happened. Guy meant to sell 1 share of j-com at 610,00 yen. He typed it wrongly and sold 610,000 shares at 1 yen each!
Lost his company around $225m they think.
On the day of the Christmas party
which was cancelled. Bonus pools have been frozen as well I think.

Yep, I heard about that! The order was more than 42 times the total of J-Com's outstanding shares, which stood at 14,500. I bet that caused a stir on the Tokyo Stock Exchange!!

Not that funny if people loose their bonus money that they have worked their nuts off for all year though... through no fault of their own.

Dave, i find it both funny and tragic.
Im sure he already has a few quid in the bank and wont be homeless living in a bus shelter or anything, but yes i can see how upsetting it must be for him.
But i do still find it funny that can happen so easily.

We've had a fantastic year, and were looking forward to a hefty bonus at the end of the year, then last month one of our biggest Customers went into Administration taking with it almost half a million of our money. We're not getting any bonus now, and we've all worked our nuts off all year thru and this is no fault of our own.
Sh1t happens everywhere

Its a tiny order and a horrific mistake... I have a feeling this is a real junior person.
But I suppose its only money... other people make mistakes and it costs lives so actually its not the end of the world is it

I agree with Chip on this rare occasion, some people take money far too seriously.
