Investing 102

Two days ago on Monday I was looking at my dividend payouts and noticed a few of my holding had been listed at 100X what they are worth. I knew it was a listing error because nothing had changed except where the decimal had been placed.

I know this wouldnt work but if I had sold and they gave me the listed price and then noticed the error what would of happened? This is kinda off topic but it was fun to see my account jump up by many zeros at the end of the account balance for the day.

They would catch the error and fix it - and that's also why SETTLEMENT dates are not for several days after a transaction.
