Boots and Coots Wild Well Control :-) 4 bagged my whole self directed IRA with it. Went back in afterwards with part of that and held 50K shares through the 4-1 reverse split for a subsequent cash and stock buyout by Halliburton.

I love the story! I smell a great rags to riches to rags thread at FR. All the woulda, coulda, shoulda disasters and the crazy jackpot picks.

I had a boss who sailed the Chesapeake Bay for one week every year. No phones or contact. His broker was frantically trying to get hold of him. He lost $600,000 because he didn't want to be disturbed on his boat. When he found out when he came back, he just shrugged and said "oh well"..........Classy guy.
