The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped almost 1000 points at one point today, 998 points, before making a recovery. ?At that point Procter and Gamble was down almost 30%. ?As soon as Procter and Gamble was down this much Jim Cramer of CNBC said to buy the stock. ?It was almost instantaneous that the stock exploded much higher.


It was learned later in the day that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Procter and Gamble move lower was due to a traders error where he typed in a billion rather than a million. ?This was the difference in a drop of 300 points and 900 points with the one keystroke error by the trader.

With Procter and Gamble stock down over 30% there was little doubt that much of the market was going to sell off. ?There were some amazing buying opportunities available throughout the market but if you were not quick with the buy button you missed out on these trading opportunities.

With the Dow Jones Industrial Average down almost 1000 points in a trading day it comes as no surprise to see many Americans interested in this subject. ?It will also be the case that these same Americans are looking for a safe place to put their money.
