It is Greed I suppose, I once took a position on gold, I left the office by the time I got home it was zero value. The broker phoned me and told me I have R32 left. Told him to close my account and take the R32 and buy himself a coke & burger....

Mr Price. - Graph
His name is Joe Campbell, and he claims he went to bed Wednesday evening with some $37,000 in his trading account at E-Trade. One notable development on the pharma front later, and Campbell woke up to a debt of $106,445.56. Now, he may end up liquidating his 401(k). And his wife’s.
That’s where you come in. At least where Campbell desperately hopes you come in. Of course, sympathy in the trading community over such gaffes is typically in short supply.
His is a cautionary tale of getting caught on the wrong side of one of the riskier bets on Wall Street. When you’re long, the worst you can do is lose is everything. But when you’re short, everything and a lot more is at stake. He should have known better, no doubt, but you have to feel for this poor guy.
This is what apparently happened, as Joe explains in his GoFundMe plea.
“I was holding KBIO short overnight for what I thought was a nice $2.00 fade coming,” he wrote. “At the close of the bell I saw the quote montage clear out and figured today there was no action after hours in the stock. So I went to my office for a long meeting. I got out of the meeting and saw a message from one of my buddy’s, he asked if I was ok since I was short KBIO.”
OK he was not. Far from it.

Trading Statement
Shareholders are advised that the Naspers group is presently finalising its interim
report for the six months ended 30 September 2015.
We expect core headline earnings per share to be between 37% (2 093 cents) and
42% (2 170 cents) higher than the comparable period’s 1 528 cents. Shareholders are
reminded that the board considers core headline earnings an appropriate indicator of

will be between 10% (2 023 cents) and 15% (1 911 cents) lower compared to the prior
period’s 2 248 cents.
Headline earnings per share for the period are expected to increase between 25%
(1 410 cents) and 30% (1 466 cents) from the prior period’s 1 128 cents.
Further details will be provided in the interim report, due to be released on or about
27 November 2015. Financial information on which this trading statement is based
has not been reviewed or reported on by the company’s external auditor.
