I put $900 into a stock that's .0001 looking for a quickie gain, not worrying too much if nothing happened, figuring I'd just lose the commission. Today at market open I put in an order to get that money out, and I made one critical mistake.
I made it a market order.
The order went through just fine. At .00001. That's right, 4 zeros.
Please learn from my mistake

Same thing happened to me once. I tried to get a reversal from my broker, but they wouldn't budge. Another situation where some people aren't doing their jobs and the market is robbed.
