Dow Goes Nuts!

The Dow goes nuts! It dropped 1000 points suddenly. CNBC is reporting it was a human error, someone entered a B instead of a M for millions. Update: CNBC (what a surprise), is full of it. There was no typo which caused the biggest DOW drop in history. Citigroup, the unnamed typoist, is fairly irritated about it too for they looked over their trades and there was no typo.
