Apparently CNBC was talking about GE being involved

Message 18064695

I'd like to know what time this alleged "mistake" occurred. 12:30? 3:00? 3:48? Then we could look at a chart and see if we think it was for real judging by the volume and seeing how quick the reaction was to it.

<<Bear Stearns places erroneous sell order of $4 billion
Wednesday October 2, 6:16 pm ET

NEW YORK (AP) -- Bear Stearns placed an erroneous order to sell $4 billion worth of stock late Wednesday at the New York Stock Exchange, but most of the order was canceled before it was executed.
The NYSE said a clerical error caused the brokerage house to enter the order to sell $4 billion worth of Standard & Poor's securities at about 3:40 p.m. -- 20 minutes before the stock market closed. The order should have been for $4 million.

All but $622 million of the $4 billion transaction was canceled prior to execution, the NYSE said in a statement.

The NYSE had no further comment. Officials at Bear Stearns were not immediately available for comment.>>
