What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForensic file, Meta. The five-minute candle at eleven twenty A-M Eastern opened at 725.00, hit 725.02, low 723.20, closed 723.55.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDown point two percent, one point five times a normal candle.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne point five times! Vera, that's practically a massacre. My theory: a whale sneezed mid-trade and accidentally sold a small boat's worth of Meta.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPlease. Obviously a day trader sat on his keyboard during a dental cleaning. A hygienist moved the market. Respect her.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOr the building's elevator music hit a minor chord and a trading algorithm took it personally. Algorithms are very sensitive, like your portfolio.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy portfolio is fine, it's temporarily unrealized. Fine, Dale, you're the adult today. What actually happened?

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHonestly, nobody knows.
