No, it was just an ordinary nightmare.

I think it was in June or July of '99, I don't remember exactly. I don't recall the name of the stock, I remember it started with "A". It was a 4 dollar deal that ran to 12. I shorted it, then it ran to 34 and was halted. All in the space of about two or three hours. Time was fuzzy.

When the bell rang, the broker covered me and I was zeroed out AND I owed him some money on top of it.

Which I paid back, much to his surprise.
