I'm one of those Idiots!!! I lost $42,000. on this one. I'm hurting real bad. I thought "Wow, I can probably make 50k - 100k on this one if I buy 5000 shares". My market order (what an idiot) got filled at 66 9/16. I almost puked when I woke from my nap. Put me in the hole about $332,000. Two days later.... maintenance call. Was forced to sell. Lost $29,000. Had to sell other shares which were down at the time. Total loss.... $42,000.
It just ain't fair! COL (cry out loud)
PS. The irony of it all? The day I was forced to sell (21JUL98) BCST peaked somewhere arround 68-69. Would have made about 10k. But nooooooooooooo.
