It's ok.. All you have to do is call your broker up.  Tell them you
placed the trade by mistake.  Tell them you meant to buy 300 shares
but your fat finger was a little heavy on the "0".  It worked for me a
few times with my broker.  If this is the first time you call I am
sure they will let you go.  If they don't buy this story then you call
again and tell them it's your wife traded under your account.  Tell
them your wife found out you are hiding cash from you and she wanted
to lose all your money.  I used that once too.  Give your broker a
call.

no telling you broker you made a mistake WILL NOT WORK escpecially
since BSC drop 10% and another 15% and now 45% in 3 consective
days....dude has not even come back to read the posts...i bet you if
this is true (for the sake of conversation, i know its not
true)....but if its true he's broker will sell the position tomorrow
and cover the money he borrowed. I could have been this guy today, i
was sweating last night about my short escpecially since the CEO said
everything is okay, i thought the stock might go up and i might loose
my money but instead i made over 90% just today alone on BSC. it
dropped 45%. i dont think i can short any more, i dont have the heart
for this. i was seating buckets just waiting for the open, then it all
changed, my luck, BSC was in problems after all.

It's a joke, alright. Here's jdobbs2001 having fun elsewhere on the
Web:

"I found 5 dollars somewhere in the back of my couch and decided to
invest it in those ultra high risk funds.

Do I buy e gold first?"

I think the original poster is simply displaying some morbid humor.
there is no way he could have purchases these stocks on margin without
first signing a margin risk disclosure agreement with his broker.

I agree but if it is true he has two lessons under his belt on what
not to do (put all your eggs in one basket)  first Enron and now BSC.
OK now go earn that money back in the market before the dollar is at a
negative. You best investment these days may be silver or gold. Next 5
years my money will be on Google. God bless you sir.

Spot, of all the people IN THE WORLD that you have called idiots, here
on the GOOG board, you give this guy an informative and non-
condescending reply...truely confusing, to say the least.

guys, look at jdobb2001's profile, and you will see from his previous
postings that he is not an amateur investor.

but i'm sure the situation he described did happen to many first time
investors, just not as dramatic.  it happened to me once when i
listend to cramer and bought a bunch of sirius without doing
researches of my own and lost 10% within a month.

seriously, please invest with caution, especially in a bear market.

Why? Just because the price comes down to an all-time low does not
mean this stock is undervalued, or attractive. The banking sector is
acid right now. Nobody still knows the bottom. I'd stay away until the
sector stabalizes.

Rule #1: Never buy more than you can afford to lose. I lost money on
BSC too. I don't have that much downside as I bought back in '95 and
only added 100 more shares @ $93 a couple months ago thinking  most of
the bad news was already in the stock price. This is the pain part of
"no pain, no gain".

I would just let this thread die. I think we've discovered this guy is
full of s***. Posted crap on a few other tickers too. If not, he's
probably already hung himself by now anyway.

Hopefully this guy is not serious, BSC buyout at $2 a share which
means he now owes about $80K in addition to losing his $80K.  How sad.

I wonder what happened to this guy.  I guess he probably won't have a
