- stanislavb 9y agoHow come!?
- supercoder 9y agoIt was discovered no one actually really used Alexa
- ourmandave 9y agoThat's not true! I use it to reply to Ashley Madison fembots. (It's a vicious circle really.)
- pscsbs 9y agoThis appears to be a hack, or data corruption. See NASDAQ's official listing ( http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/amzn/after-hours http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/amzn/after-hours ). Several other ticker symbols (AAPL, MSFT, etc.) are also affected. Edit: It appears several tech stocks (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, etc.) have their prices set to 123.47. Definitely pointing to some sort of data corruption.
- munificent 9y ago> all have their prices set to 123.47 Which is what you'd get if the price was 123.456789... and rounded to two decimal places.
- avaer 9y agoPlausible, but wouldn't it be 123.46?

- munificent 9y agoUgh, apparently I can't math that early in the morning. :(
- dilly_li 9y agoCan anyone share some thoughts?

- maxton 9y agoThis must be an issue with Google's data provider. Their graphs still show the correct stock price.

- tsyd 9y agoAny EBAY (https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AEBAY https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ%3AEBAY) went up 254%? No, these are just glitches with Google Finance. It happens once in a while.
- desdiv 9y agoBloomberg[0] is showing the same thing, so if it's a data glitch it's not limited to just Google Finance. [0] https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/AMZN:US https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/AMZN:US
- gergles 9y agoYeah, this is some sort of horrible error on some sort of aggregator, I'd guess. MSFT did not gain 79% today, but that's what Google says. Yahoo! on the other hand, says it lost 57.74%. If you go to schwab.com and get a quote there, it shows the correct prices, so it wasn't the exchange itself.
- friedman23 9y agoThis is a glitch not a flash crash. There is absolutely no volume on Amazon right now. This actually happens all the time .

- narrator 9y agoI wonder what this is going to do to all the sub-second quant algorithms. Do they have the ability to recover quickly from this kind of data corruption?
- comboy 9y agoPlease change the title instead of flagging this. It may not be a crash but this is newsworthy.
- ulcica 9y agoYahoo finance shows similar numbers https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN?ql=1&p=AMZN https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN?ql=1&p=AMZN
- mhannigan 9y agoI can. US Market closed early today at 1:00PM. Market data was finalized at 5:16 PM. Data sent to third parties after 5:16PM today would have been test data - they do this every day and the third party systems receive and then purge the test data. One or more third parties took at as real data, possibly because of the odd market close time, and then re-propagated those prices to the real time systems. The reason this can happen is that certain off book transactions can be/are reported by these third parties. These reports update the stock price.
