BS Newswire Feb 11, 1999 An independent investor comitted suicide today when his newly gained 20 million dollars vanished overnight. Yesterday, this investor whose identity is being witheld pending notification of next of kin, invested 50 grand into a little known stock index. He was mortified upon the opening bell, when it was announced that one of these stocks in the index did an unexpected 1 for 10,000 reverse split. The Securities and Exchange Commission then halted trading in all the stocks in the index, when it was reported that the CEO of one of the stocks had fled the country and the sponsors of the index did not open for business today. "Man, think how different that guy's life would have been if he had just sold before the bell," said another investor who chose to remain anonymous. Just before he died, the rags-to-riches-to-rags investor was heard 3 blocks away, shouting obscenities from his 13th floor office in Vancouver.
