296 'funked up' stocks -- trades canceled

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- After one of the most wild days on Wall Street, Nasdaq canceled trades of 296 stocks whose prices fluctuated the most.

At around 2:45 p.m. ET on Thursday, trades of a number of stocks listed on the New York Stock Exchange were slowed for about a minute due to excessive volatility. During that short time, those stocks were opened up to electronic markets like the Nasdaq.

That's when at least 296 stock prices saw enormous price changes. Nasdaq has said it will cancel all trades that were executed between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. ET, in which the stock price traded more than than 60% off of the stock's price at 2:40 p.m. (See chart below for a list of the stocks with canceled trades.)

Nasdaq coordinated the cancellations with other U.S. stock exchanges, and said the decision could not be appealed. After investigating the incident, Nasdaq found that the excessive movements in those stock prices were not due to a technical glitch on its end.

Some have speculated that the bizarre trades were caused by glitches in the computers that were trading the stocks electronically when NYSE slowed some stocks down.

Duncan Niederauer, chief executive of NYSE Euronext told CNNMoney.com on Thursday that stocks are very thinly traded in such situations, which can lead to wild volatility.

Accenture (ACN) fell from $40.13 at 2:45 p.m. all the way to just 1 cent before quickly rising back to $39.57.

Sam Adams maker Boston Beer Co. (SAM) also fell to a penny before recovering to $55.82.

Oxford Industries (OXM) tanked to $1.34 before soaring back to $19.51 a minute later.

But some other wild trades were not canceled by Nasdaq. For instance, Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) traded down 22% to $199.25 before recovering, but those trades were upheld.

Most notably, Nasdaq did not cancel trades of Procter & Gamble (PG, Fortune 500) or 3M (MMM, Fortune 500), which momentarily fell 37% and 22%, respectively.

Both are components of the Dow Jones industrial average, and their combined drop in price at around 2:45 contributed a loss 315 points to the Dow index. The Dow fell nearly 1,000 points before storming back to finish the day down 348 points.
