Some weird things happened in something now being called The Flash Crash.

Basically, you could have bought Proctor & Gamble at about $40 and sold it for $60, a 50% profit, about 10 minutes later.

Someone apparently was filled on 10,000 shares of PHO at .10 cents and it finished the day at $17.

Fortis in Canada was down 37% at one point.

An examination of those roughly 20 minutes . . . .
