Referring to a comment in a certain thread last night...

I am very tempted to ask what 'Fat Finger Syndrome' is? (referred to in the offending article mentioned above).
But then again - if I did ask such a question, the thread would undoubtedly turn very rapidly into filth, smut, innuendo and disgusting suggestions.

So I won't.
(But - what is it?)

[ChuckFickens]

[Bbbananas]

It is known as fat finger syndrome the occasional tendency of stressed traders working in fast-moving electronic financial markets to press the wrong button on their keyboard and, in the process, lose their employer a mint.

On Thursday it hit the Tokyo stock exchange, and in spectacular fashion.

An unnamed and, presumably, shortly to be unemployed broker, managed to sell 610,000 shares at 1 yen (less than a penny) apiece in a job recruiting firm called J-Com Co, which was having its public debut on the exchange. It had actually intended to sell 1 share at 610,000 yen (US$5,041).
