Actually the message box is rather large and declares the error very clearly. In addition it shows the details of what the action will do. Whoever did this really was either not watching or was using the safety net to enable some friends to make a killing. The news here interviewed day traders who made a lot of money on this deal. The blip lasted for about 3 minutes and was jumped on very quickly. The day traders referred to it as a "Christmas present". Investigation going on now. Be interesting to see what turns up.
