How about QCOM trading at $600, and having the Merrill genius saying it can easily go to $1000 !! I remember people talking about buying 4 shares !!!! Vega IOMG and Presstek were sick, but what about Netscape after it's IPO, trading from 120-180 in a day (this includes filling this range almost hourly).
QCOM traded up over 100 points in one day!!! How about some of the bubble IPO's... Ariba, Freemarkets, Sycamore Networks. 15 points was child's play, you had to cross the stock north by a few points just to get 1000 shares.
I used to work on the floor of the CBOE, and at one point the old NDX pit was right next to the pit that traded QCOM and TXN -- notorious for being the biggest group of a-holes on the floor. That day was probably one of the craziest thing I've ever seen, especially when locals tried to fade Solly and guessed the wrong way :eek: :eek: I don't think it was possible, but after that they turned into bigger a-hole Vega
There is just no stopping TASR. Anybody have any exciting stories about traders in their firm making or losing a fortune on TASR?
