Yeah it's kind of sad how stupid people are. My hairdresser owned his house outright, took a stock tip from a customer (who had nothing to do with the financial industry), borrowed $300,000 against his property to buy the shares and then lost it all. Some people seem to treat the stock market as a big game and think that having the "right" pick will let you win every time.
