Anne, I think it is pretty simple using electronic trading. If the person placed a limit order a typed a 6 instead of a 5, and then failed to proof read his order.............BINGO. Such a mistake is foremost in my mind every time I have placed an order. I have double checked every order I have made, and even gone back and reread the latest quote. Could be too, someone was willing to risk a few bucks to try igniting a buying spree, although very unlikely. If Mr. Banks could make his mistake, techstocks.com then nothing is impossible. Sorry Chuck <bg> I hope it was a small order. BTW did anyone catch the size of that purchase at 6 1/16 ?
