4. Merrill Lynch Sold Some Stocks a Bit Too Fast: Matt Levine
(Bloomberg View) -- There are a lot of dumb obvious ways to "fat finger" your way into losing a lot of money in the stock market.

You can try to buy 2,000 shares, not realize that your order has been sent, and then send the order again. (And again and again.) Trading is complicated and computers are fussy and you were out late last night and all those zeros tend to blur together.
