I agree but I have actually watched something drop more than 100% in a few weeks. How you saw??? It was amazing.

There was this stock owned largely by one person - name escapes me - It was late 90's and he issued a stock offering at $20 per share but you only had to pay $10 but you had to pay the other $10 later. IT was registered in you account to pay $10 and its value wpuld fluctuate with the share price. BUt the PPS fell below $10 and the obligation started trading negtive.

went as low as negative $2.00 - SO yes I could BUY 100,000 ans someone would have to pay me $200,000 BUT I then had an 0bligation to buy 100,00 shares at $10 and obviously PPS was now at $8.

Really it was just a publiclly trading option. - it ended up that many people holding that obligation reneggged on it.

If it ever happened again I would play it and see.

it was on the TSE
