Woah. I couldn't believe this. Aubrey Mclendon of Chesapeake Energy lost 1.5BILLION dollars buying stock on margin. Excerpt from Barrons:
"Two weeks ago, such market pressure forced Chesapeake Energy (CHK) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Aubrey McClendon to nearly liquidate his 5.5% stake in the natural gas exploration company. Amid the tumbling market, McClendon sold a staggering $570 million in stock, a stake worth over $2 billion in July."
Woah.
