Sure, that's totally believable...most investors don't watch every penny and trading accounts don't cost money annually or send notices etc. electronically or by mail...so sure, you forgot about this account, found it eventually, realized your mistake and sold at .03 x 1,000 = $30.00.
Hmmm...the gods must be crazy, because those shares are worth more today; 1,000 x .088 = $88.00, so it looks as if you missed out on a few dinners...
