[post_page_title]Stock market typo[/post_page_title]
We’ve all made the occasional typo, but it’s not often that it costs a company millions of dollars. In 2005, a stockbroker in Japan was supposed to set the price of J-Com’s stock to 610,000 yen for one share.
Instead, he accidentally wrote that it cost just one yen for 610,000 shares. This ended up costing the company about $236 million – a sum that was almost equal to the entire income from the previous year. That is a costly typo!
