Usually, the glitch is just a few hundred or thousand percent in the company’s (de)valuation, but today it hit all records: 10,647,115,776.00%!!! One stock went up 10,647,115,776.00% in a single trading day, to a stock value of 8,619,905,024.00

I just which I had bought one single stock of this company yesterday ;-)

It would be cool if NYSE servers had this type of glitch. The stock market would be much more fun and not so boring and depressing as it has been over the past months.
