Happy Halloween: What is your scariest investing ghost story?

Trick or treat

One trade that haunts me was my purchase of iAnthus (IAN) (this was when it was still cool to add “i” at the start of a name). The company had a great plan to expand and many dispensaries throughout multiple states but perhaps grew too quickly…and expensively... Not long after, the company made a "transformational" acquisition of a competitor for US$1.6 billion, and its stock tanked.
The following year, iAnthus announced it had defaulted on a US$4.4 million interest payment. Later that same year, shareholders were informed they now collectively held only 2.75% of the equity after a recapitalisation agreement. I still have most of my original shares. They’re now worth more as a (very) small reminder to tread carefully in risky stocks.
