My Two-Million-Dollar Trade

Some stock was acting wacko today and I went out to put a ridiculous high offer and see what happens. I didn't think I would get filled and I knew if I get filled it was not going to stand. This particular stock trades around $40, $50 but when I got my short sell order filled I got filled at $10,000 for 200 shares, basically I made about $1,990,000. Yeah, obviously it's an erroneous trade and it got broken. You can see from my P&L chart for the day... the money I made today barely show up as a blip. Oh well, at least it was fun to see $2 million in my account.
