Come on people...the stock never traded at 68....some poor sap probably tried to sell 100 shares at 78 and made a typing error to his detriment. It happens all the time. When I saw the spike I took a quick look at the Time & Sales, but didn't see the trade but I'm positive that's what happened.

OK...I looked again...I was right

9:51:25 ----68---- 100

There were alot of such mistakes..the absolute worst was:

9:44:33 ---- 39 1/2 --- 200

I make a very big point to check my order before I pull the trigger for this very costly reason....I actually made a small mistake myself once and that's why I'm so attuned to it. One of the perils of online trading.
