TRIIBoy, I'm afraid I have an even worse story. I was long TRII on that fateful day right before the major drop. I saw some suspicious patterns during that days trades, so 30 minutes before the market closed I executed an order to sell my entire position of TRII at the market, then ran out the door to meet with lawyers about a pending real estate purchase. I came home to find that I had hit the "buy" button on my online brokerage instead of the sell. I had not exited my position in TRII, I just doubled it. No worries, I would exit first thing in the morning. Morning started with TRII halted pending news. News broke - accounting irregularities, stock reopens down 70%. That's my TRII story, my complacency haunts me to this day. Cube
