Just read the piece by Michal Lewis in the Sunday Times Mag about this teenage kid who made 800K hawking stocoks on yahoo with various screen names--his parents are completely uneducated--he himself is rather sullen and unruffled--got all his friends into it too, traded in the school library during breaks, got teachers into it--associated with a known criminal--SEC tried to bully him but he was completely unafraid, no proof--they got $263K back but he refused to give back the whole thing so he's a teenage kid sitting on 500K. Started with 8K. WILD story.
