Stocks' Dive Stuns; Loss Briefly Hits 9% - Investors.com

"Fat fingers" are being blamed as a contributor to the huge sell-off on Thursday. Hmmm...

Procter & Gamble (PG) trading came under scrutiny after the normally staid consumer stock dived nearly 37% in a matter of minutes.

But an examination of minute-by-minute trading showed that the Dow and the rest of the market indexes were well into their plunges by the time P&G broke wide open.
