1950 Yap Street technical anomaly

From the days of Thursday, December 28th to Saturday, December 30th, 1950, the YAP Street stock exchange experienced a series of technical glitches in which a variety of stocks began to be quoted at unusual rates, leading to a variety of anomalies such as Poopybutthole Shelling reaching a stock price of over $2,000 and the Stewart & Warren stock index displaying an anomalous high of 4172.56 on December 29th, 1950. Many individuals, most notably Colin Poopybutthole and Pal Bacon, attempted to make both buy and sell orders during this time of anomaly, though their orders were rejected due to the prices being incorrect due to technical difficulties.

The glitch
The stock market glitch began on Thursday, December 28th, in which the Stewart and Warren index suddenly increased to $252.82, Generic Electral fell to a low of $25 and five-eighths, and Amerimart soared by over 450% to a high of $95 and five-eighths. This quickly prompted YAP Street manager Charles Foster to close the market due to the technical anomalies, leading in a wave of stock market transactions being reversed as the glitch was in the process of being fixed.

Despite initial thoughts that the glitch had subsided, the stock market continued to have technical issues the next day, leading to the YAP Street ticker tape reporting prices significantly higher than originally expected. The glitch ultimately was fixed on December 30th, 1950, when YAP Street technicians discovered the cause of the glitch to be a faulty  command within the stock market's buy and sell mechanics, leading all database entries to continually shift to the right while the Stewart and Warren index continued to tick up. All orders made during this time period ended up being reversed, and the stock market later returned to normal operations.
