Pound crash

Yep apparently it was a rogue trade and was cancelled... This is what happens when you have algorithmic robots trading or a banker who wants to make a very large quick buck.... All at the expense of others as they would have lost huge amounts, some could have been wiped out and I doubt whether they would have been compensated regardless of whether the trade was cancelled or not...

I read somewhere that it was a "fat finger trade"

"A human error caused by pressing the wrong key when using a computer to input data. Fat finger errors are often harmless but can sometimes have significant consequences for example, if the wrong number is entered in performing a mathematical calculation."

In short I guess we had another crash in sterling because some fat banker called fatty Mcbutter pants used his chubby marmalade covered fingers to buy more cake on-line.

The poor little man loses his shirt again.

Clive have you been interfering with the stock market?
