RMBS early 2000

The all time greatest- VRML

Was VRMLQ at the time (Sept 2009) trading bulletin board at .04

Company was basically bankrupt and got a massive FDA approval which sent the stock to $34 in six months.

Check out the chart. Absolutely incredible.
 
I own a couple stocks with nearly 50% float held short, hope to see some of those amazing squeezes you all remember

Back in the good old days (2003), I will never forget the hype around TASR - TASER International, Inc. :D

Thanks Satchel. TASR was one for the ages!

I remember an internet "company" around 2001 that had a static web page that did not move or take you to any other web pages. It simply pledged to match buyers and sellers and said "coming soon". The stock had a $500M valuation at one point before crashing. The owners had a shady reputation and did not live in the US. Does anyone remember the name of this stock?
 
tasr, lhsp(f) are two that come to mind.

also you can find a ton of stocks from the internet age (ie. cmrc, cmgi, etc.) which basically ran a ton and ran back down a ton.
