=================================
i told dad that i was done wit my stock order ONE MINUTE b4 the mkt close.
he excitedly told me to read up an article in today's paper that a broker keyed in a buying order at rm17+ when the market price for a share was rm13+. the transaction was successful but the broker made an error by not accidentally keyed in the wrong buying price. the broker gotta pay rm500k.

i read the news half way and got scared.
i told parents "i could foresee that ONE DAY i ll make this mistake and dont know what boss will do with me".
