Google Stock Falls 200; But Not Really
"Apparently more than a few traders had heart palpitations today. As the market closed, Google's share price appeared to fall apart, falling to $200 from an opening price of $396. At least that's what the Nasdaq ticker showed."
NASDAQ: "Pursuant to Rule 11890(b) NASDAQ, on its own motion, has determined to cancel all trades in security Google Inc Cl - A "GOOG" at or above $425.29 and at or below $400.52 that were executed in NASDAQ between 15:57:00 and 16:02:00 ET. In addition, NASDAQ will be adjusting the NASDAQ Official Closing Cross (NOCP)and all trades executed in the cross to $400.52. This decision cannot be appealed. MarketWatch has coordinated this decision to break trades with other UTP Exchanges. NASDAQ will be canceling trades on the participant's behalf."
Not only is the market swinging wildly, we can't even rely on the data anymore.
