In the last few minutes of trading on Tuesday, Google shares dropped as low as $200.01 and rocketed as high as $489.336. It was high drama, but the trades weren't real, according to Nasdaq.
Turns out they were the result of a glitch, characterized by Nasdaq as "erroneous orders" routed to the exchange from another market center.
The closing price was reset by Nasdaq at $400.52, up roughly 5 percent from Monday's close of $381.
