PMS Witch, Having spent months at the Block Trading office in Houston, I am amazed only by the fact that this type of event did not happen sooner. You wanna see some distraught individuals? Sit in on a daytrading office on a bad day. It made the local post office look like a bunch of shiny happy people. I sat next to a guy who was short OXHP and he held it overnight. The next day the stock gapped up 10 points...meanwhile, every other trader in the office had a field day making jokes about him while he was down 10 sticks...while at the same time his investor was on the phone telling him 'sayonara'! Believe me, I had nightmares about him taking an Uzi to work the following day.
